| V-r0cK said: I don't think changing memory cards to SD/micro would be the best solution incase current Vita owners would want to upgrade their Vita but will now need a different memory card. The better solution is to just make the priority Vita memory cards the same price as SD cards. Price really seems to be the main issue for the memory card moreso then the actual type of memory card I believe. PSP Go was the best system created, so if they can make a new Vita similar is design and features that would have me sold. |
To bring memory sticks to SD prices, Sony should get on its shoulders a tiny additional burden, as memory sticks have a much smaller market than SD, so even conceding all its IP to third parties for royalties comparable to those they pay for SD tech, their production cost would still remain a little bit higher (although, being tied mainly to the biggest and lowest tech parts, not the memory chips themselves, such additional costs would be significant only for the lowest capacity sticks and negligible for the larger ones). So if Sony will decide to lower the costs of memory expansions, it will have to evaluate whether it will be better to adopt two expansion slots, a single dual standard one or sticking to memory sticks (sorry for the awful pun 
), but doing all it can to lower their prices.
