Not sure what you are inquiring about. Vita launched for 249.99 (as much as it's contemporary launched at for 2-3x the processing power) and offered backward compatibility (PSP digital games and PS1 classic games from PSP and PS3 carried forward) and offered crossbuy for many games. After a year on the market Sony slashed the price by $50 and reduced the price of the memory cards. It was mostly the memory cards that cost the Vita, but, also, the mobile game market shrunk during that time. DS and PSP sold a combined 230M units. 3DS and Vita sold a paltry 90M combined. Switch really reinvigorated the portable console space, and it doesn't get enough credit for that. |
Bold: only selected of PSP and PS1 games, not even close to 50% of the full numbers of the games on both systems. Vita software also played a big part why it flopped. 3ds sold not too good, but at least it's software sales made up for that, can't say that for vita. Sony have their own fault, not just mobile phone.
