They are initially but those same memory cards which increase the cost of the system by $100 will stop the system and games from selling which results in the death of the VIta. At launch its excusable because the early adopters are game enthusiast but if you wanna start penetrating the bigger portions of the +130m who currently have HD systems then they'll need to be lowered. the 8GB internal memory wont stop sony from selling memory cards, and a specified a reduced price in memory card for the second half of the year because they will need to build momentum for the holiday season. Sometimes companies have to make short term sacrifices for long term gain, 3DS price cut seems to be working well.

"Funny how everyone must give their 2 cents to save a system/company/etc." this is a strange comment being made on a games forum where whole point is for people to discuss and share their opinion.

1. You have a source for this sir? Or are you yourself a Japanese developer?
2.  COD games were never big for handhelds because they were dumbed-down versions of the console versions. 2 Analog Sticks make all the difference.
3. Vita will get a COD game when sales improve? Uh, game was already announced to be coming this fall. It will most likely be a port of Black Ops 2.
4. None of that is on sight? These big games were already announced. COD, Assassins Creed, Bioshock, Monster Hunter...etc. They are confirmed by Sony to be coming to Vita this year.

They're not targeting that market. They are targeting those with a DS/PSP/3DS and maybe even an iPad/iPod.
Remembert his is a portable system despite how console-like its games look.

well i disagree, their not directly comparable. Nintendo's back catalogue is caters to a much older generation of gamers, and is limited to the sprite era's. the most recent generation is far more likely attract a younger audiences (teens) in my opinion. "Consider that Nintendo can sell an overhauled classic game for $30" the only games which come to mind is Ocarina Of Time 3D....

Im pretty sure anyone interested in owner a dedicated handheld gaming device would also have a home console. There is at least a very large overlap. I don't know any1 who owns a handheld and no home console. Anyway Sony have stated their core gamers http://www.vgchartz.com/article/88699/playstation-vita-to-have-biggest-campaign-ever-by-sony/ 

Your far too hopeful, Dragon Quest X on PSV? PSV doesn't use a Wii-mote, the controls would be messed up. Imagine playing Skyward Sward with a traditional controller, it would ruin the game.

Also Final Fantasy Type-Zero, why would Square remake the game for PSV when it won't even port the title to PSP? In order to remake it, they would need to make the game from ground up again. They are better off making a new PSV exclusive.

However you are right about a video game Archive. One reason why I love to play my DS and GBA is because the games on the system are either ports/remakes of old games (Final Fantasy 1,2,4-6 for GBA, Dragon Quest for DS) or a lot of the game available are sequals to old IP's, and give a retro feel (Dragon Quest IX, Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Metroid Fusion, Pokemon, etc). Sony has a big resevour of PS1 and PS2 exclusives, exclusives which could be remade for the PSV, like how Tales of the Abyss was remade for 3DS.

There is an issue though. Sony won't do this either because Square-Enix supports Nintendo more in handhelds, or because they don't have many 1st party exclusives to remake (They could start with The Legend of Dragoon). This is why Nintendo is better for handheld gaming, and this is why a Nintendo hand held sells better. What you're saying is that if Sony wasn't Sony and made a different system, the PSV could be saved, but that's just not going to happen.

However I don't think PSV is doomed, it just won't sell that differently then PSP, it's going to rock in Japan.

P.S. Memory....This is a cash grab. Sony planned to make a $300-$400 portale system, this is how they justify selling a $250 platform. Every company does it.

Alright ideas, but your title could do for a rewording...

They should make PSV into a time reversal machine that retains knowledge so I can send myself back to high school times and sleep with more girls.

Actually they shouldn't even try to serve two masters. They can't please everyone and based off the price and market strategy they haven't decided to. They know the whiny hardcore gamer will buy it regardless because it is the only game in town for that crowd, they can poop on people as much as they want and the hardcore gamers will call it fertilizer to grow games from. So for that reason alone the price of the memory cards etc is pretty good.So effectively they need to give lipservice to these people whilst directing the rest of their resources aside from a few token efforts towards marginal customers whom could go either to an iPod Touch or 3DS.

Include 10 GB of porn on the Vita it will sell bucket-loads, but if Nintendo decides to adapt my idea of 3D porn then the Vita is doomed with no chance of redemption.
