Less than Switch more than 3DS. Sony normally offers much better hardware value in performance terms and I feel they should focus more on portability than performance so it should sit at a early Vita price point $250/£210 with the VR visor another $50/£40. Should then drop to $200/£170 for its first big price drop. There is absolutely no reason why this price point isn't easily achievable and profitable for Sony. It really just has to be more powerful and more portable than Switch which will be easy to do if launched lets say late next year. It would need to be fully compatible with all playstation VR titles as well. The visor could also be used portably to give augmented reality etc and more basic VR experiences, maybe ps2/ps3 level VR titles. I do think Sony needs to integrate VR into their portable platform. It may even be that the only offer a hybrid style VR platform in the future so if you want to play VR on ps4, ps4 pro or ps5 it will be making use of their hybrid console in a visor. If they have a tablet with a high definition display why not combine it with a VR visor. Sony have less need for a dock anyway with their more powerful home consoles, a hybrid portable/VR system in many ways would be better and tv output while supported would be more of a minor feature. |
Except you need a memory card required for Vita so it is 300$, not 250$ and in fact, Vita at best = early ps3. The most advantage mobile chip these days is not close to ps4 yet, let alone ps5. Also, outside Nvidia, which company can provide Sony a mobile chip for a hybrid that is stronger than Switch and can play ps4/ps5 games with 250$ price point and battery life last at least 3 hours?
