Not sure how the implications of your past few posts have flown right over everyone elses' heads (as seems to be the case), but I see what you're getting at.

And I don't get your point. It's almost like you think Nintendo is "cheating" by creating powerful IPs centered around excellent games and marketed toward audiences that enjoy them. Believe me, if Sony was capable of breaking into that market in the way Nintendo has, they would be. There's a lot of money to be made there. Sony isn't taking the "high road" by ignoring the vast majority of the handheld market. They're smart enough to know that they can't beat Nintendo at their own game.

By the way, even at $200, the Vita still isn't able to keep up with the meager sales the 3DS was managing for its first 19 weeks on shelves in the US, before its price cut... back when it cost $250, and its biggest competition was the then-$99 DS Lite, on which gamers could play the newly-released Pokemon Black & White.

Don't let the Garbodor hit you on the way out.
