Well, its not selling bad cause its not doing as great as the DS... Its selling bad (more like well) cause its selling half as much as the DS without any direct "competition." The DS at least had the PSP to compete against but the Vita sales are a joke compared to the 3ds yet the 3ds still isn't doing remarkably...

And well, the ps3 didn't really do bad... 80 million+ isn't bad loll. All I am saying is that they won't make another handheld cause of how quickly and easily they gave up on the Vita after one mediocre holiday... They didn't even try to recover... Its like their commitment on the Vita is almost zero outside of Japan...

I highly doubt Sony will launch another handheld cause the Vita isn't the ps3 where Sony recovered it from being a flop, Sony seems to have zero cares left in the handheld space and I think they would much rather spend their money else where (Or maybe even save it considering how much money they lost this year in their whole company)

80 millions is a little bit less then half of what ps2 did so if you think 3ds is a failure then ps3 is a failure too,when you look psp games and ds games you see that they have completly different games so both handheld was not a direct competitor.

I think Sony know that 3rd party is the key of Vita success and since 3rd party completly abandoned Vita(in fact 3rd party never support vita) at least Sony release the second biggest Playstation IP on it.

PS3 was confirmed that it make a big loose for Sony but we don't now if Vita make them money or not especially with those big numbers of indies games,like i said to you if Sony is confident that there's next handheld will be supported by 3rd party they will release another handheld which i doubt but still possible.

Well, the ps3 had a ton of issues that are not present in the 3ds... The ps3 had super high price point during launch, it had stiff competition against the 360 and wii and it had architectural issues in the sense that the cell was very hard to work with and most third party games performed better on the 360... So selling 80+ million with all those issues is quite an achievement... But the 3ds didn't really have any of those issues.. It hardly had any competition, the architecture isn't very hard to work with (compared to the ps3 level of difficutly) and it had/has plently of third party games/exclusives... So, the fact that it still can't sell as much as the ps3 is pretty bad...

And heres the thing though... See, a lot of people buy products based on experiences... One of the reasons why the ps4 is selling so well is because of how awesome the ps3 was... Sony supported the ps3 like crazy and so did third party after the first couple of years so the customer experience on it is great and memorable.. On the Vita, most games aren't appealing to most people and a lot of people are clearly seeing that Sony has no interest on supporting it which leads to a horrible experience in the eyes of a lot of people and they will remember the lack of support on the Vita so if Sony were to release another handheld, they need to regain that trust which isn't exactly easy...

The Vita to me looks like an unintended exit strategy out of the handheld market. All Sony basically seems to do is just collect whatever money they can and not go through with it ever again cause in order to build up that consumer trust that they failed with the Vita, they need a lot of work which again, I highly doubt they are preparing to do cause they have been in the business long enough to know what builds consumer trust and what distroys it and the Vita is distroying it in the handheld space for Sony imo.

But I guess its still "possible" for them to release another handheld but its also possible for me to get laid tonight but will that happen? Probably not so will this happen? Probably not

So you think it's possible but unlikly so this point it's clear

3DS has also price problem people say it's too much for a week handheld especially when it's priced the same as Vita and when 3DS got the price cut it was tracked ahead of ds for a while and the second problem was the numbers of delayed games when 3ds was interduced Nintendo list a huge list of games coming to 3ds.

3ds still had another 50$ price cut to do and still had a lot of support to improve it's sale
