Well if we want to talk about what could have happened Vita could have sold 10's of millions more with a Naughty Dog developed exclusive Uncharted game, an exclusive God Of War game, an exclusive GT game and a monehatted Rockstar Leeds developed exclusive GTA game. Would have been a blockbuster success.


They could also have done a panic price drop in the first year like Nintendo with the 3DS. Sony actually also put profitability ahead of sales for Vita so I don't really see why Nintendo doing that is mentioned.

When Wii U launched Nintendo had already bled millions on the 3DS just to secure market share. Imagine how much investors would have been spooked if they also did it with the Wii U.

Yes, you're right, that's eactly what Sony did with Vita. When they saw it wasn't doing too hot, they just let it die instead of putting effort to revive it, due to having profitablity in mind. If anything, Sony has been more profit oriented with Vita than Nintendo has been with Wii U, as Vita's memory cards were expensive and Nintendo put ALL their efforts to revive the Wii U by releasing all their blockbuster franchises on it, to no effect. Sony only put one game in one of their biggest franchises on Vita not even developed by the main team. The rest of their output only consisted of their B-rate franchises in terms of sales.
