wouldnt it look a bit stupid if the vita was more expensive than the ps3? ps3 for $170 and a vita for $250?? no one would buy it.

Wii's are cheaper than 3DS and that's selling like hot cakes at the moment, and that's with a price cut.  The gap was even bigger before.

not quite the same is it.

the 3DS is considerably cheaper than the VIta and the Wii is dead awaiting its replacement.

Wii-U hadn't been announced when the 3DS launched at a higher price than the Wii, which was dying but only due to Nintendo neglect.  We're at a slightly later stage now, sure.

Plus, the PS3 is considerably more expensive than a Wii, in relative terms the gap is similar (amazon: £188 PS3, £198 Vita compared to £99 Wii, £134 3DS.  If the numbers are off because of a sale or something, then I do apologise, I don't really know the price point for the consoles).
