This will be a general split between Japan and the West as I feel Sony has two extreme visions for the two. Any input will be helpful.
With the recent price drop and spate of games releasing in Japan, I feel that the Vita is finally getting its footing, but is a long way from being at any reasonable level.
Here are a couple of changes that Sony could implement (Japan First):
1. Booster its Japanese first party development core. While I feel that Japan Studio comes up with some very unique games and Poly comes out with the best racing simulator, they need to bolster their core development for games in Japan to like five to ten. Create or buy smaller studios. I think Marvelous AQL would be perfect buy. Not only would they get a good developer in Marvelous (Soul Sacrifice) but a good localization team in Xseed for Sony's (and third party) games.
2. Alter price cut. I feel that being the exact price as a 3DS LL would have been better for the Vita, change the price from 19.9 to 18.9k YEN
3.Redesign. The redesign would focus more on incorporating the ability to use any memory format for the handheld. That would drive the primany sales higher as there would be no real hidden cost to purchase the handheld.
What do you think? Ill add the west later this afternoon.
