PS4 + Vita is $600 USD though, double the price of the Wii U, which does the same thing out of the box.

It is a really cool feature though.


But the Vita is a fully portable device. The Gamepad isn't. You're talking about the Vita as if it was just a mere controller and nothing else. Besides, you can't play Sony exclusives on the Gamepad, can you? 

This is an added feature to an already feature packed handheld. 

I'd wouldn't say Vita offers anywhere near $200 worth of value.

You think anyone ever expects you to see anything positive or even objective about the Vita? Your hate for the console is way too evident for us to expect you to see things neutrally.

My hate for the Vita?

I've been one of the Vita's biggest defenders all year, one of the few who kept insisting that its sales would pick up and it would go on to be a succcess. and I stand by that.

But the turning point will be Japan. Handhelds have the edge there, Vita's already doing decently there, and with the right games it will explode. But in the  West... I'm a bit sceptical of whether it will be a good long term investment at this point. Just as Nintendo stupidly neglected Wii U for the 3DS earlier this year, Sony is seriously neglecting the Vita, and while this isn't as big a problem in Japan where it has good third party support, Western devs seem about as keen on the Vita as they are on Wii U, leaving Vita's future in the West a bit worrying.
