At best its a $300 handheld with only a few games available. I never understand why people expect miracles.

3DS didn't do well, actually exceeding predecessors so far, until it reduced its price sub-$200 and had a far larger library of quality games that hit mass appeal.

Vita won't be at that for a year at least. Next Xmas will be the first time it sales well relative to the PSP and even then it will be less due to substantially higher cost barrier.

Only way to fix is to redesign as a smartphone.


$250.

Rol already stated my point, but adding the mandatory memory card adn taxes, etc, you're far closer to $300 or more. That is the real base price.

@superchink and Rol

almost every retailer that i can think of bundled the 4gb memory card with the wifi system. it was probably much harder to find a vita without a memory card than one with it.

They really dropped the ball on memory cards - they took a lot of flack for selling them at inflated prices and making them mandatory. If they built in 4 gigs in every PSV they would have this covered and in the end they still ended with bundling tons of 4/8gig cards at launch.
