| Euphoria14 said: In the real world the Vita problem is that it costs $200 to buy it and then you need to spend $40-$50 to buy a game and also need to buy overpriced memory cards, meanwhile people having phones that give them great gaming for $1-$5. Vita is still stupidly expensive for what it is. Sony should revamp it entirely, with an Android based OS and give it full access to the Play store. I would love to move over to the Vita to play Brave Frontier instgead of my iPhone and it's smaller screen. Not going to happen though... |
Vita pricing is terrible, but mobile isn't giving great gaming. The level of quality I see on games in my Nexus 7 is basically pathetic and actually the best games are puzzles and other simple things. Control quality is a big issue that still is without solution on mobile and most genres won't go well with that.
About Android OS, I think that their next handheld will probably be a return of the XPeria Play. It wasn't a decent idea, but they simply didn't want to brand is as a PlayStation to protect Vita and PSP. They tried to race 2 horses and one of them died while they could just have united it in a single strong horse. A PS Phone (branded as PS), acting as Vita sucessor and smartphone running Android but with a SDK that allowed them to change specs with the years but keeping games compatible with all gens of devices (at least for the time a gen would run) and had all of their 1st party and 3rd party games, still allowing people to carry a single device to use as phone ans play quality games. Add carrier subsidies and people would buy it for US$ 99 with contracts.
