Not at $600.
The people who buy a 3DS or Vita are in a completely different class than those who will buy an iPad.

You know people say $250 for Vita is too much......


Yes, but when Apple releases an iPad mini or reduces the price of it's iPad2 to combat budget Android devices and gadgets like 3DS and Vita it is inevitable that it will impact the dedicated portable videogame system.  It's a lot less childish to many mainstream gamers to game on an iPad than it is to game on a Vita and 3DS and that is the stigma Vita and 3DS has.  Again this article is pretty insightful:

The iPad 1 is still $500.
There will be no price cut to the iPad 2 or the iPad 1. Apple is the richest company in the world becuase they sell overpriced products. They don't do price cuts.
They will certainly not release any $250 iPad mini either. Why would they if iPad 3 will sell like hotcakes at $600?

Would you prefer to sell an iPad mini at $300 and make $50 profit or sell an iPad 3 at $600 and make $200+?

i feel like they are completely different markets because android/ios games are not real games. But unfortunately people are content with angry birds. They are not true gamers, there will always be a gamer market



LMFAOO @ this entire thread. No it won't. Probably with people on a budget, however they're two completely different devices, aimed at different audiences. Tired of seeing comparisons between tablets and handhelds, even worse comparing them to consoles.



Those who know nothing can understand nothing. 

Doubt that, 3DS had a cheapest price and Vita still can drop the price anytime. And how much Ipad3 will cost?



I am an industry analyst. So, believe me when I said so. Apple will kill everything dead. iPad3 will kill many people.

meh 3ds allready has momentum. The vita however is still new and could go either way



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

 

There will always be room for the specialized product, we all have a watch on our cell phones but wrist watches will never disappear.

Handhelds will never die.

Cant play uncharted, Yet.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

Unless Pokemon and Marios get released on the ipad3.. then no it wont kill it.. and I will predict every time a new version of ipad4,5,6 ... damn analyst will predict it will kill the 3DS..

as for vita.. thats a different story there as it doesnt have the killer handheld games behind it.. pokemon/marios



 

Indubitably.
