Honestly, what was Sony thinking regarding Vita memory cards?

The official reasoning is piracy, but well written and constantly updated code would alleviate all of those issues (just look at the 3DS, standard SD cards and no problem).

First Nintendo handheld that doesn't use a proprietary storage format.

Compared to a handheld whose predecessor had a huge rate of piracy.

an updated code base isn't gonna stop pirates, formatting storage mediums is a much better solution but even then there isn't any 100% solution.

Piracy is just not commonplace on the system especially with its demographic.

Meanwhile, the Vita is the PSP's successor, so while obviously the Mem Cards are a cash grab, piracy is a substantial concern.

are you confused ?

your post confirms Vance's statement is absolutely spot on.
