I'll clarify. "They know the whiny hardcore gamer will buy it regardless because it is the only game in town for that crowd" No, i think theres a risk a strong portion of this market will simply skip Hardcore portable gaming completely, i consider myself a core gamer but missed out on last gen portables. I had planned on buying a Vita at launch but various things put me off, pricing of cards is one of them. I indend to buy it in the future but if behaviour is common in regards to being put off early adoption, devleopers may stay clear of the system, which will cause me to loose interest in purchasing it at all and thus the systems sale fall further. So i don't they can afford to "poop" on people. I think i may of mis interpreted the last paragraph of your comment, so ignore my response to that. |
That is more a value argument. They can probably do better in improving the value of their handheld by reducing the price and/or bundling in the memory cards over the next couple of years than they can in improving the outright desireability of the system if it isn't desirable already. I suspect however on the latter they are more than covered by the abundance of features and performance as well as PS3 compatibility to round it out.
'poop on people' was more in jest, meaning that they can afford to ignore the most hardcore and niche gamer and focus on the mainstream. I was talking about the list of games that the OP wrote, it doesn't mean much to cater to the specific desires of this kind of audience here.
Tease.
