On the PSV defense, Sony is probably making more profit with the 113k units than Nintendo with the 3DS at 179k :P |
I thought it was assumed that Sony is taking a loss on every system sold; that's why people say that Sony can't cut the price yet...

Taking a loss on every system sold, sure... But with the expensive memory cards that you HAVE to use? These "loss" became a lot low.
|
Is the economy really that bad that people can't afford a $20 memory card?
The Vita isn't an iPhone. Games aren't megabytes in size. Games are 2-4 gigs. Digital Distribution was never meant to be the main form of getting your games.

Escape plan size - 800Mb and its one of the first PSN games on Vita... Do you think that someone can stay like 1 year with a 4Gb memory card? Ok, for those who will not download games, 4Gb is more than enough, and download games isnt the "main" thing in the market, i know that. What i want to say is that a lot of people bought the 18~32Gb card, and this make the Sony "loss" on every system sold dont hurt too much. And yes, i think these cards are expensive, especially in my country, US$ 35 for 4Gb card if we import, US$ 55 if we buy on the gray market. They dont sell it oficially here, only with the bundle, wich cost almost US$ 900.

If someone is planning on buying a lot of PSN games they wouldn't buy a 4gig card....
If someone is planning on buying a lot of PSN games, they can probably afford a bigger card....
You think these people who bought these 16-32gig memory cards make up for Vita losses and/or R&D? I can tell you now, they don't.

Good point VGKing, however it's already a given that most gamer's who initially bought a Vita are hardcore Playstation fans!!! Though, if they do get the 4GB card I doubt Sony is making much money on them anyways? I got a 16GB card for ~$10 on my 3DS reaffirming my belief that the 3DS offers more bang for the buck!!! On another note, things are really looking bad for the Vita, it seems to only be selling to the Playstation crowd and not expanding much. When Wii U comes out it'll have another competitor for people's hard earned $$$$!!!
