Again, you make the point that Sony is fine and is doing good stuff as a company. I agree with you that PSN rocks, i love all the deals i got on my PSP for it. But, it doesnt solve the problem we have here: The vita is not selling.

Support means 3rd party exclusive releases on the system. You know things like you have on the 3DS on the form of resident evil revelations, Kingdom hearts 3D, theatrythmn, etc. Possible ease to port phone games does nothing to help sell the system.

Ok tell you what, what Sony is really bad at is Marketing and product development. The Vita is a terrible product in marketing terms. It is a great system tech wise, but it presents nothing unique. If a product has nothing unique the consumer wont get it over another product with similar offer and uniqueness (3DS games + 3D), Tablets (games + ease of work), and phones (games+phone on a small package). Vita only has the back touch screen wich has very limited use (only the tear game has tapped into it) and games, wich at this time are lacking. Result, the consumer doesnt want the system. Consequence, developers will stop releasing games for it cause its not profitable.

Again im not saying they are fine, what im pointing out, This is not a sprint, and the change in not only the Handheld Market  but the entire Game console market has already happened. You still concentrating on just the Now!! when it's not about just the Now! the Console market Has been disrupted, it's not if it already Has been. When you have consumer electronic companies that do not even make a games console selling smartdevices that have chiset's as powerful as these new Mobile chipset's are.

 

you are still looking at this as just the PSVita by itself

"If a product has nothing unique the consumer wont get it over another product with similar offer and uniqueness (3DS games + 3D), Tablets (games + ease of work), and phones (games+phone on a small package).

Let's put it this way, where would the PS3 be without 3rd party developer's right? when the PS3 first came onto the market it was very slow to build up sales right?

That did not stop Sony from taking a massive cut in profit's and market share, That's one of the reason's they are in the shape they are in now, is problems in the direction of the company as a whole, the thing is now Sony's shifting to a market that unlike their games console market viability has massive growth. The fact that Sony is selling 7.4 million xperia devices per sales quarter is the reason why that's where their concentrating.

Look if people are already viewing the PSVita dead and it ends up to sell less and the the Retail stores will not carry the system right?

but as it is right now that's not the case, until that happens or does not happen we will not know other wise, all we know is that Sony's increasing the support for the PSVita by having Official Homebrew and indie development and small publisher's to put their creative works with trophy support on the PSVita as they would already with other smartphones, and other smartdevices.
