That's like saying a PS4 Pro costs $499 because the special 500 million edition that was just released cost that. That still doesn't change the fact that there was a $249 model that was only missing 3G connectivity and was far, far more popular.  The 3DS also didn't come with a memory card. I don't see how you can sincerely act like the Vita was considered to be a "super premium price" when the real price difference was the difference in the cost of a memory card. So comparing a 16 GB Vita memory card at the time to a 16GB SD card the 3DS took was about $30. Sorry, that is still not "super premium". It's not even the cost of one game for either system.

PC Gamers do more benchmarking than playing games? Are you just trying to annoy the PC hardcores around here with statements like that? Complete nonsense.

And how come limited edition of PS4 are equal to PS Vita 3G??? And also 3DS market segment for DS gamer and dedicated Nintendo market , while Vita early sales are targeting games that are coming to iOS and Google Store. And from the build quality like the screen and the build are targeting premium one. 

I am a PC gamers, and active in gaming forum, they are different in terms of gaming habit. 

They're not equal. That's my point. Just because a more expensive version exists doesn't mean that the cheaper versions cease existing. No one is claiming the PS4 Pro costs $499, and and no one should be claiming the Vita cost $299 on release. Because it never. The vita was targeting smartphone users and not the 70+ million PSP owners? What makes you think that? Was it the fact that the Vita played PSP games and not smartphone games? Was it the fact that the vita never ran Android or iOS? Was it the fact that there was only a handful of apps that were ever made for the Vita, like twitch and neflix, and not things like facebook, twitter, instagram etc? There's no reason to think it was targeting towards iOS/android users. The 3G model was for playing vita games  in online multiplayer on the go, and little more. This is clearly obvious. Just ask KBG, he actually tried to use that thing as a phone.

I'm a PC gamer also. I've never run a benchmark. Stop stereotyping people. Your comments about them might actually be something the mods would moderate you on.
