psv is dead already : (


It's going to do fine then going by previous examples this gen:

3DS - doomed right after launch

Wii - doomed multiple times

360 - doomed multiple times

PS3 - doomed multiple times

So far every device released from around 360 onwards has managed to dissapoint early and be declared "doomed" only to stablize, find it's feet and actually do well enough relative to the market and the devices price/strenghs.

Personally I'm calling nothing on the Vita for a while yet.

I've said it before and I'm going to say it again - too many people think that a new, hyped device is going to dominate immeduately on release.  Few do, and for a while in electronics the only ones that have are Apple branded for the most part.

Most new devices get a quick peak of interest, then drop off as early services/content is actually normally weak, then if the services/content stablize the device does to.  Depending on how well the stabilization goes the device may then take off.  It might be that, as with the 3DS before it, the Vita needs more than just services/content but a price cut to really enable it to fly - but right now it's too early to tell.

I also think people are expecting too much of holiday sales for a new device.  At holidays people tend to buy more established or super hot devices, not one as new as Vita.  The 3DS with key titles, even the PSP, were all better purchases in many ways than a Vita at this stage and the local market clearly knows it.

Now it's up to Sony to make Vita worth owning as they stablize the devices services/content.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

As great as MKDS is though, who is still buying it? o.o I swear everyone who wants this game would have bought it by now

Parents for their young kids. That's the most logical answer that most likely holds true for the majority of units sold during holiday shopping. So in other words, nowadays MKDS might be purchased for people who weren't even born when the game was released.

we need to tell them to buy a 3DS w/ MK7 instead

It was weeks before 3DS was this low in sales, it is only 2 days from launch that the Vita is here - at the same time, and with less software. Yes the Vita launched during the holiday season, and at the same price as the 3DS, but what is different with the Vita launch is that the 3DS is here; and the 3DS has crushed down Vita sales a huge amount.

The irony here is that the Vita was supposed to kill 3DS sales, but it is the other way around.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It should have.

But if u must know the last fiscal reports showed PS3 behind by under 2 million. That was september though. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It's only fair to compare if Vita had sold spectacularly.

Selling a system more than double of what it costs to make? I've said few times when the 3DS first came out that double the price of production is fine, but anything more is price gouging.

To answer your question, 50 dollars.

Price for raw materials=totals cost of manufacturing ans sales=no

Read back what I posted earlier to the other guy, I never said the sales price = raw materials price.

Let's clear up some of this fuzzy math here.

3DS selling at $250 = profit

You claimed that, that's more than double what it cost Nintendo to product it.

So, 3DS would cost Nintendo less than $125.

Now, Nintendo is selling the 3DS at $170 and are losing money on each unit.

That would mean it costs Nintendo more than $170 per 3DS unit.

So, who's eating up more than $55 per unit?

I blame WiiFit?


Did you even read any of my posts or are you letting fanboyism blind you that bad? I bet your one of those fanboys who think Final Fantasy is a Sony game lmao.

Anyways, I did not claim anything, its all over the internet, go check what the manufacturing cost of a 3DS is and it will tell you its around the range of 100 to 105 dollars.

Nintendo 3DS was being sold more than twice the amount of its manufacture costs = $250

You seriously cannot deny that. (Yes there are shipping costs and retail costs, but I doubt it would warrant a extra 50 dollars).

Lets do some math for ya fella : 105 x 2 = 210 (Max) OR 100 x 2 = 200 (Min)
Double of its manufactuer's cost = $200
Nintendo's Choice of cost = $180 (20 dollars less than the double rate of the production of a unit)

So where does Nintendo get the A-ok for 249.99? Oh right, business propaganda! No competition and a year ahead of a possible competitor. "Hey guys lets take advantage of our pee brain fans who would throw cash at us for our brand name!"

Along with that do you seriously think parts that are almost a year old now actually would cost the same as it was when the system was first released?

Also how do you know how much their losing, hell you dont even know if their even losing 10 dollars per unit lmao.  200 dollars would of gotten them a less "loss" if they even have any major losses to begin with. also whatever losses they were making in the last few months would of been made up by now after all the sales last few weeks and all those 249.99 units being sold before the price cut.

The fact that Nintendo went down to 179.99 for the 3DS was for to regain momentum and faith from people who shy'd away from their price tag and to gather up the remaining who were originally waiting for the Vita. The only reason why they are making any losses is because of the current price tag, they could of easily made it 199.99 and still profited during the holiday.

Oh and before you go making insults and lame sarcastic jokes, you should probably blame yourself for being a ignorant fan of Nintendo.

Who are you to decide what somthing should cost?  They are in it for profit. sony losses money and thats a good business model? And please tell me what % = gouging?  When a hurricane hits the east cost in the states home and business owners purchase wood products to protect their property.  If the lumber co. triples the price you can safely assume its gouging.  Most people would consider gouging.  Even if you what you post is true and I have not seen actual nintendo finacials then it is not safe to say gouging.  Man the A and D cost a fortune for these consoles.
