They are having losses with the Vita, didnt deny that which is probably why - no scratch that, it IS the reason why they are ripping people off with the Vita memory card prices.
P.S. I dont know, I still find the "Ambassador" program to be a bit of a joke, a few GBA games was it? Not even NDS games >_>?

The Ambassador program was a non-mandatory "thank you" to those who bought the system at a higher price. I people bought it at that price, they deemed the system worthy of that price. Well, consumers vote with their pockets so not everyone agreed.
If they wanted to do that, they would need a very solid launch, much closer to the U's launch than to the 3DS', in terms of launch window software.
If you want a console selling at a high price, it can't have no games early on like the 3DS did. Even the vita was limited in software, but at least it had Uncharted.

It's not that they deemed the 3DS worth of the $250 price tag, they just didn't expect it to drop so quickly.
This is why people need to do their research and why tech specs do matter. Anyone who knew anything about tech specs would tell you that $250 was way too much for a 3DS at the time. The $250 Vita announcement at E3 should have been proof enough.
So long story short, those people are lucky there was an ambassador program at all...
|
So the reason 3DS wasn't selling like it should have is because of tech?
Vita seems to have the tech, why is it selling so badly?
Tech had nothing to do with 3DS' early struggles.

If the 3DS had the Vita tech on top of the games its currently getting, it would have flown off the shelves at $250. It would be a steal.
Vita has the tech, but it doesn't have the 3rd party support(which is what sells Sony consoles).
Tech alone didn't affect the 3DS sales. it was a combination of bad press about the 3D feature, consumer confusion with the DS...etc.
