It's common sense that portables and more expensive than non-portables.

For example, for $1000 you can get a high end laptop. For those same $1000 you can get a desktop PC that is MUCH better and will let you play the latest games for many more years than that laptop.

Um, yeah. The logical conclusion would be that a gamer buys the desktop, especially if the games library is equal. So the laptop loses out. You know what device the laptop in this analogy is.


There's plenty of gamers that maybe don't have the space for a high-end desktop or are just always on the move.

For that gamer, laptops are the only option.

Some people would love to have a PS3 but they know they wouldn't have time to play it much. Vita is a great alternative. 

Just because you game only on a portable it doesn't mean you're not a real gamer. In fact, you might be more of a gamer than the typical PS3 owner.

Vita is doing well, not too far behind the PS3. Curious to see how well it sells once Gravity Daze is out. Expecting it to go above 20k.

Also 3DS sure is selling like hotcakes as always. Hell it sells better in the smaller market of Japan than it does in Europe.

I wonder if Sony is throwing in the towel with the PSV; as I have not seen any marketing besides TacoBell here in the States?

um...thanks pezus I was wondering what the heck they were doing!!!  Seriously, they should start the hype now as to build an audience beyond the Sony crowd.  I already see Gamestop and NewEgg cutting the 3DS price temporarily  to $150, now until after the Vita launch.  Could a Vita shortage be happening for them to do this? Sounds kinda' fishy as to give the 3DS an extra advantage to lure customers to the 3DS this close to the Vita launch.

If you just want to argue for the sake of arguing, then I am out. I can wait. Time makes more converts than reason, so once you see that the PSV can't become successful without a price cut, you'll be more willing to listen.

You don't get what he's saying.

He means it's the big guns that count more than the price itself. Had Sony the bigs guns Nintendo has (Mario Kart, Mario, Wii Sports, Big Brain), and offered them as of launch throughout the launch year, there would be no need for a price cut on Vita.

The only problem is, since Sony doesn't have those big guns, you will most probably end up being right, but for the wrong reason.

BTW: almost frogto to say:

nice Sales for tragnarok, I was expecting less than 20k.. But it seems that the 24pts of the preorder cartz were more that whartt seemed... for a New Ip on a undersold new system did well with the Digital sell could do 50k on first week may be...

New IP? Is it really? What about these games:

[NDS] Ragnarok Online DS (GungHo Works) {2008.12.18} - 44.509 <58,30%>

[PSP] Ragnarok: Princess of Light and Darkness # (GungHo Online Entertainment) {2011.10.27} - 15.559

There's also a manga and an anime series. So yeah, Ragnarok is quite well known.

Yes, the MMO is how I first heard of Ragnarok several years ago. I remember being surprised when I saw the DS game come out as I thought of the series as an MMO.
