Let's find the one device to prove a point and ignore the rest. 3ds launched at the exact same price with significantly inferior hardware. In other words, if anything $250 for a vita was a fantastic price. It most certainly gave you bang for your buck.

As for the memory cards, most bundles came with a 4 or 8gb card. And that's the only thing that has been expensive.

So that's some serious cherry picking. Can't say I agree with that.

This was at launch, and yes it is picking out the faults, the device could have easily used SD cards which everyone had, but no it didn't. Also I am showcasing all three are horid, don't take offense because I picked one of your favorites and showcased it. 

Also the launch bundle that came 4GB was the 3G $299 bundle. Do not remember single launch bundle for 249.99 that came with memory card. 

The 3g version costing $299 is completely irrelevant and you bringing it up shows how weak your point is. That was a luxury product for the few people that wanted it. If Sony makes a gold ps4 controller and charges x amount for it, you wouldn't bring it up in a discussion because it would be just as irrelevant.

The device could have used SD cards and the 3rd party developers would have had no reason to make games for it after the fiasco with psp getting hacked and no one buying games for it at the end of its life. Not even superb games like God of War: Ghost of Sparta. They had to combat piracy somehow and that was one of the ways to convince developers that they had nothing to fear. The prices were high. I mentioned that already. But saying that "they could have easily used SD card" is naive at best. 

Never said that there were "launch bundle for 249.99 that came with memory". Don't know where you read that. There were, however, bundles with a game and a memory card for more than 249.99 but less than bought seperately. It's usually how bundles work.

As for this, "don't take offense because I picked one of your favorites and showcased it". I'm one of the few members here who give credit when I believe they deserve it. I have both praised and critised countless times all three companies in various occasions. So, please keep your assumptions to yourself.
