I lol at people thinking Sony is going to go the cheap route. Sure its the smart thing to do. But seeing the Vita specs its obvious Sony has no plans to change their business strategy: highest cost and highest end.

PS4 will be $499, for better or for worse.

The PSV is not "The highest cost and Highest end". It's not that expensive - the 3DS is especially cheap. The tech is relatively high end, but it definitely doesn't take a large loss. The PSV doesn't cost an extravagant amount like the PS3 did... it doesn't even compare. In fact, the PS3 is an outlier in Sony's history of games console pricing. Sony can't afford to take PS3 scale losses, and all the rumours indicate a sensibly powered console (off the shelf parts, like the PSV) at a sensible price (latest rumour). 

So, what are you basing this off?

And who are you lolling at? Who is saying they're going the cheap route? 

I know I'm stalking you today... I swear it's just coincidence. 

For a dedicated handheld, it is highest cost and high end......since it is actually the highest priced gaming handheld on the market. 3DS is priced appropriately and yes im gonna say it.....cell phones are becoming the place for on the go gaming. Cell phones can be anywhere from $0- $150 for 3 year contracts.

Do the PS4 rumors say the specs are better then the 720 rumored specs?

The ones that are comparable to the PSV go for much higher than that, even with a contract.

And I doubt those sell anywhere close the the 0-150 phones. Point being......Vita is high end compared to its competition: 3DS and common smartphones.
