Not that this topic hasn't been done to tedium already. but....
-Honestly, Vita could be doing well if they just advertised it right. Pushing it as "Console on the Go" was the worst possible idea. It should have been advertised as A better tablet alternative for GAMING. It does most of the same things, but absolutely decimates tablets when it comes to gaming. You see the 3DS(and all Nintendo products) are pitched as Toys, seeing as they are high tech toys they easily look more appealing to THAT fanbase. Pitching Vita as an opposition to Consoles was a poor comparison as Console's are still better for most of many gamers gaming needs. Vita ends up falling short. Vita gaming against tablet gaming? Vita can only look good in that comparison. I feel like this could invigorate sales with that base similar to how LeapFrog did with their child tablet thingy. The device is pitched as a tablet for small children with learning games..........its not running iOS or Android, basically is a rudimentary game brick for 3yr olds. Yet that kind of marketing direction works. People are scouting everywhere for them, and their $5-15 games.
-To better facilitate the above, Vita needs to get more basic Apps. Calculator, Calender, Memo pad, All relavent plugins like Flash for Web Browser, etc. It already has Netflix but needs to pursue Hulu, Vudu, Amazon, and others like it.
-Games on handheld need to be aimed at $20 price tag, period. At 40bucks a pop, I and many other gamers are hesitant to buy unknown titles. Some just are NOT worth that much. Zero Escape, brilliant game, not worth 40bucks tho. At $20 is a total steal tho. And Lets not try to gouge the early buyers at the high price with the idea you can just decrease it later, by then the hype for your game is completely gone. Phone/tablet games debut at market reasonable prices. Games are the accessories to an already expensive device, Buying 2 of them whole sale should not overshadow the cost of the system themselves.
-Although I do not agree, many do not like the price of the Memory Cards, and just want the system to come with built in memory as well. While having it be cheaper and built in is obviously a plus, I never required that. PSP MCs cost just about the same when that first came out. It wasn't until recently that their prices plummeted so much. Everyone wants Vita cards to start out at the same.
