That's a good point. Most people I know that have it, love it, including me.
Does anyone have some ideas to move the Vita out of the cellar?
Push Remote Play
I think if remote play works as well as they hope with PS4, pushing it as a mobile Call of Duty device could sell enough systems to establish a base to wrangle the 3rd parties in more. Even better, if they got a direct port of Call of Duty with cross platform play with the PS4 and PS3, look out.
I'm not a Call of Duty or big FPS gamer, but they sell. If you take that obsession and offer it anywhere there is WiFi, that could really push some units.
That being said I hope it's not reduced to a Remote Play only device, but any method to move units is a good one.
Price Cut
Obvious, but a price cut to the Vita and its memory cards would only give a short term burst. The memory cards do need to drop for sure though. Getting the Vita an identity and marketing is what really needs to happen...
Identity and Marketing
Who is the target consumer for the Vita? This still needs to be defined. It has great games, it's great hardware, and it's a great companion to the PS4. Maybe they ride the PS4 wave and...
Offer some PS4/Vita Bundles
If you could get a PS4 with a bundled Vita and a year of PlayStation Plus for $599, would you do it? That's a pretty attractive price for a PS4, console quality (and actuality with remote play) on the go, and the instant game collection.
Vita users, what are your ideas?
