Who wants an 8GB memory card? when 1 AAA game takes up to 3-4gb, anyone who intends to go mostly digital knows that 8GB is worthless. |
I'm just asking how memory price could be prohibitive if it's free. That space requirement would only be a problem if you downloaded AAA games. On my vita right now, I have on the memory card, megaman x remake, corpse party, wipeout, get grind radio, final fantasy tactics wotl, tactics ogre, and virtue's last reward. That doesn't even take up the whole 8gb. Everything else I have on cartridge.
I mean, I can see that it's problematic if your goal is to download AAA games, but if you already have so many games you can't fit them on your memory card, then I doubt that cost is really a huge factor. More likely, we're talking about ps+ users who can't fit all their complimentary games on an 8gb.
My point is...the memory card prices are hardly an issue of low vita sales. It is far more likely that the problem is the cost of the system in general. In USA, it's more than 70$ more expensive than 3ds, and the 8gb card is 20$. That's just a huge amount. It's really as simple as that. When you can buy every single console on the market at a cheaper or equal price to the vita, is there really any question what the problem is?
Even if the memory cards were free. It's the second most expensive console on the market.
