the why is the core of every debate, to ignore it is to accept being willfully ignorant on the subject

and no you should only criticize Sony if the console fails to do what it was meant to do, and it not, it's actually excelling at it as far as I'm concerned just priced out of most of it's markets reach which is easily remedy with the only factor being time, so that's what I say, give it time and until then enjoy or the greatest handheld games/ experiences ever made on the greatest handheld gaming console ever made...or don't

not everything needs to be the market leader to be a great success, you'd think after this gen more than ever people would realize that

So much fanboyism I don't even know where to start.

I'll just say that if Sony priced the Vita "out of most of its market's reach," then they made a mistake. If they're being outsold by their biggest competitor, it's their own fault, however you slice it. If 3DS is selling better because it offers a better value to consumers, that's Sony's fault for not matching that value. If Vita offers a better value than 3DS (as I'm sure you would argue), then Sony's marketing team is doing something wrong.

And for the record, I believe the Vita far outvalues what the 3DS offered this time last year. There's no reason a console with THAT launch line-up should be performing so poorly. So I blame Sony for making their hardware too expensive, and for not marketing the console well enough. It seems to me that the games are pretty much already there.

it doesn't need to sell to ALL it's potential market in the beginning of it's life, it can more than survive off of who is buying it now, and later on in it's life it'll reach that price when even more can jump in, the only point I see in being critical is if it was failing to do what Sony said it was going to do within that time and even you think they aren't, so I failing to see the fanboyism (you practically agreed with me), fanboyism to me is bragging about console sales on the internet for the sole reason of being able to bragging about console sales on the internet, I could care less how much a console sells as long as it's able to be a amazing console in the process and the Vita is nothing short of amazing and it's only getting better
