PSP used memory stick pro duo which was made by sony but it was a format which was used by other devices other than the PSP and sony could license the manufacturing of the cards to other companies. It was a larger scale operation so prices could be driven down unlike with the vita memory cards which only work with vita and are only made by sony. Also, there were tons of fake memory stick pro duo's on the market so that disrupted the prices of the genuine ones too. With the vita memory, Sony basically has everything under control how they want it to be and I have a feeling thats gonna stay the same for the next handheld. |
If there is a next handheld (I really hope there is, the Vita might just be my all-time favorite handheld), Sony will probably just ditch memory cards completely and go with flash memory, or at least make flash memory the primary option.
