Forgive me for saying so, but it doesn't matter what games, or types of games the Vita has on the menu. They might discourage ownership, but they will never encourage ownership either. Sony is charging a premium for their product that consumers refuse to pay, and with damned good reason might I add. They are selling a portable for the same price as a actual console. A substitute or a whittled down version should never cost as much as the original in the eyes of your average consumer, and they actually have a pretty good point there.
Three hundred dollars for the Vita and a game. Goes way beyond a impulse buy. It is the very definition of a real hard sell, and one most consumers aren't going to be able to justify. Not in the way they can justify buying older, cheaper, or customizable platforms. Seriously the Vita is money being poorly spent. I am sorry if anyone is taking that personally, but for most people that kind of money can go a long way to buying more practical or extravagant electronics. The price just isn't matching the need.
Recently I started thinking about getting a portable gaming device, and I actually looked into getting a Vita, but I couldn't even look past that price point. I am actually looking towards picking up a tablet, because if I am going to spend that kind of money a portable device better damn well do more then play games. The Kindle Fire is actually looking way more attractive right now.
