| torok said: The problem with Vita isn't just games, nor the unit price. It's the memory cards. They are expensive as hell and the games are huge. When the 32GB card is more tthan US$ 100 and the games are usually 2 to 3 GB, it's not a sweet deal. PS+ is a big deal, but you have to get a 32GB card to enjoy it. I think it needs a slight price cut in the unit itself (the LCD model has to be cheaper than the OLED one was), a huge cut on the cards and they would need some games PSP had: GTA, Gran Turismo, God of War and Metal Gear. Even with that it wouldn't come close to PSP levels, but it could do some respectable numbers. |
I'm not sure memory cards are as big an issue as is stated here. Most SKUs have a decent enough sized one bundled in. Many EU SKUs have a 16gb card included which for a system with no games that anybody is interested in (or so I keep hearing) should be more than enough to keep the average user going.
You can also get 32gb cards with 8-10 game downloads included for £50-60 now. So I'm not sure if you asked most potentail Vita owners what is holding them back, they'd say memory cards.
That said, They really need to look at getting a decent onboard memory SKU out. 128gb onboard memory with the new model would make the argument completely moot. I'm not convinced it would really help sales though.
