The main complaint I hear about the Vita is its cost, just like it was for the 3DS at first, so once they remove this barrier its sales should surge.

I thought the main complaint about the 3DS was its lack of games or even its small graphical jump from the DS? I didn't even know price was an issue until it was cut. Price was obviously important in hind sight since they were selling it for a large profit margin and it would have been the same price as the Vita (except for $20 memory cards). 

Bolded part... You can't be serious, can you?   I doubt people think the graphical jump is small between the DS and the 3DS.   The only people I see saying that are people who don't own one of the two or are sony/microsoft fanboys trying to downplay the 3DS.

Not trying to be offensive but I'm reffering to what people were saying at the time. It also ties into people confusing the 3DS for the DS, but that's mostly a name and consumer marketing issue. For me personally I remember playing Mario 64 on DS early in its life cycle and the 3DS had Zelda OoT as one of its early titles, another Nintendo 64 title. It doesn't quite scream to me as a very big jump, but things became more apparent once 3DS started getting some better titles on it like Resident Evil Revelations that showcased its capabilities over the DS more clearly.

There are still people who don't think its the biggest of jumps, as right or as wrong as they may be, the point was that I don't remember price being an issue until after the cut and I was just pointing out some example of debates I had early in the 3DS's life. Those were some of the things I remember...well you know, aside from some design issues like the screen touching and hinges but those aren't the big ones.
