If You Were In Sony's Position, How Would You Handle The Vita in 2013?

Oh dear Tbone.

Ok, what I would do is look at this market with a long-term profit value. Hm...yeah market sales decreasing, tablet/phones....this isn't a sustainable long-term market so I'd say, get to work on 1, that's right 1 piece of extremely unique must-have piece of software for the Vita. After that slowly decrease support over time, you don't have the resources to support a weak platform in a shrinking market.

All-in on PS4, I mean do EVERYTHING you can to beat X720 in software, you lost half the core marketshare last gen don't let that happen this gen. After that's done, do something that enhances the Gameplay by using cross-funtionality and make it good. Get them Vitas off the shelves, make what little profit there is left to make and get out of the market.

So sony should be number 1 in home consoles and drop the handheld market lol

At this point they don't really have a choice, they have to be numero uno in the gaming division if they want to carry some of their other products. The handheld isn't helping them either. I'd say the faster they can get Vitas out of storage the better. I'd say the same for Nintendo too in the long-run, no one can deny that the handheld market is shrinking.
