However, Pachter is probably on the money about the Vita having no future in the West unfortunately, even with a global price drop. |
thats the answer. i dont see the japanses market changing anytime soon, dedicated handhelds should do well there for the forseeable future. While in the west it is a different story, it is rapidly becoming niche, the rise of tablets and advanced smartphones will see to that, survey after survey show the number one use for the ipad is to play games, these are the same people who bought the ds just to play brain age. Nintendo see this and it is why they constantly warn that apple is their true competitor.
