Am I the only one that thinks Vita will sell less in 2013 than 2012?

You can't just ignore the 14 Vita exclusive games I listed and only focus on the two aspects that don't interest you.

You're right with the exception that those "14 exclusives" are predominately watered down ports of games on the PS3. Additionally, they are targeted at a very narrow market of people who universally will own smartphones for the same cost as the Vita and simply keep their core gaming at home.

Nintendo does it smart. They keep games for ALL ages and groups and on their first party content, have a few games that are trully exclusive to the handheld space, i.e. Pokemon. Therefore they are not nearly as cross-market to the smartphone/tablet space as Vita is.

Vita is tailored to a segment of the gaming population that is very small:

• 15 to 25 (maybe narrower)
• male
• wants to play a game that they have on their PS3 on the go and is willing to pay $300 to do so
• is ok with carrying two or more mobile devices (smartphone + Vita + ??)

That was just a bad business decision.
