| Kynes said: I have read several times that Sony is an engineers driven company. Engineers do the gadgets they want, but those gadgets aren't always what the mass market wants. It seems that they overshoot with the Vita, and the price tag makes it a non so attractive product for the mass market. Some people say "In forums lots of people want/love their Vitas" and it may be the truth, but who post in forums? A very small number of really dedicated users, not the majority of the buyers. Vita has not mass market appeal, that's what happened. If Sony wants to revive Vita with hardcore experiences, they will fail, the mobile products need mostly arcade/pick and play games, and it seems that Vita library needs much more of them. |
I believe this is the core problem within Sony on the whole ...
If there was a sign that the engineering team over-shot what consumers really wanted it would be that the system has to be sold at a loss to be popular; and, since (maybe) the Playstation, Sony's systems have not been popular without taking significant hardware losses.
