| VGKing said: That money you spend on the Vita could have been spent on 3DS games or something. So yeah, those are lost 3DS sales. If Vita wasn't available would you have bought the 3DS XL? Maybe, right? The fact is that these 2 are competing for your money. |
That's flawed argument because eventually I'm still going to be buying 3DS games I like and interested in even with a Vita, even more so because Vita is not releasing much to pull my attention away from the 3DS. it's like saying Dreamcast sales are lost PS2 sales when it's far from the case, owning a Vita is not going to stop me buying MH4, DQVII, Animal Crossing and so on, as it goes I had all the 3DS games I wanted at the time had some spare cash and wanted to get Gravity Rush. It even helped that Amazon were doing a special offer that weekend so in a way Amazon sold it too me more then Sony did.
Vita is the best bit of hardware to ever hit the handheld market but because of how it's being handled it's falling way short of the competition as a handheld.
