Is the memory card pricing actually an issue stopping people from buying it though, or is it more something most buyers find out about AFTER purchasing a Vita and complain about then? (At which point it's already been a sale whether they regret it later or not) And as much as I hate to admit it, because I REALLY want the next gen consoles to come as soon as possible, I don't think we'll see PS4 in 2013. You said it yourself, Sony is in bad shape money wise, so can they AFFORD to spend vast sums of money developing and producing a next gen console right now? Wouldn't it be better for them to just ride the now profitable PS3 for a few more years, as it's still selling pretty well? |
The price of the memory card is pretty well known so I think most people who are currently buying a PS-Vita know the `real` price is $300 ...
As for the PS4, the question is whether Sony can afford not to release a console in 2013. The longer their competition is on the market the more likely they are to run-away with the market and undermine your ability to sell your system. There could be a much greater risk associated with this (once again) based on Sony's financial situation; being that they can't afford massive losses it is plausable they will release a 'PS3.5' rather than a system with state of the art technology, and if they launched in 2014 without a compelling reason to buy their system instead of the Wii U or XBox 720 it would be DOA.
