Price isn't an issue, because people are quite happy paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars on iPhones, iPads and such. Even though they don't advance as much as the PSP to Vita did. or PS2 to PS3 did. |
I agree with everything you said, but you can't blamed the prices for the phones and handhelds. Those have become a part of the mainstream society, whereas the gaming handhelds have not. Gaming companies can't really compete directly with the smartphones (at least not anymore), specially when games on a handheld cost $30 vs $1-$2 for a smartphone game (or some of them free). Even Nintendo with it's massive success in portables have been affected by this.
I's really sad to see people paying $600 for a phone but $300 for a handheld it's too expensive...
