Two systems released this year, the Vita and the WiiU.
Of the two, the Vita demonstrated a much, much greater increase in technology of its speciality (handheld gaming).
Of the two, the Vita had a much better launch window as far as quality, high ranked exclusives.
Of the two, the Vita is cheaper
Of the two, the Vita is overall a better product.
And yet Nintendo will sell like hotcakes, and people on this site will continue to call the Vita a failure and a waste of time even though it is a much better product (comparable in abilities, too, only portable). sometimes I just flat out want to yell at people for their ignorance. I don't know how many more times I can repeat the same mantra, but it's just frustrating to fight against the same ineffectual and inane arguments against the vita. I really don't know what to do with the haters, or what argument I could possibly make to change their minds. The facts are there, and the sales are not, but the quality certainly is. the Vita is THE system to beat this year, but people are convinced it sucks.
They say it has no games, but statistically it has one of the best launch years of ANY console EVER! (in fact I can't think of a better system in its first year for volume of high quality exclusives, and I did the research).
They say it fails at emulating console games on a handheld. Not only is this wrong, but we all know damn well it's not a fair thing to say. People love to bash it because Assassin's Creed III Liberation wasn't as good as Assassin's Creed III, and Call of Duty sucked, but the fact that we have these games at all is a testament to what the system can do. Quality online gaming on the go, rather huge open worlds that MAY not be as vast as the console counterparts but still massive, and equal combat and comparable graphics. I just get so angry when people use this as an argument against the system. That'd be like complaining about, I dunno, Journey, for not having guns. It's a freakin handheld, just becuase it CAN do console type gaming doesn't mean that by default it should all the time. And if you want console quality with deep story and huge worlds and hundreds of hours of content, get PErsona! Hell, even Uncharted is comparable to its console brethren.
They say it's too expensive, and I do agree there. Great system and is worth your money, but Sony should have learned their lesson with the PS3. 200 is the max they should charge for it, and the fact that the 3DS sales skyrocketed when Nintendo brought down the price showed that people AREN'T willing to shell out 250+ for a handheld. Memory Card Prices are kinda sad, too. though most systems come with 4 gig, which is more than the 3DS's 2 gig. Still shouldn't even be an issue. Those are really the only two PROPER complaints about the system, and they both have to do with price.
