$250 + the price of memory cards is a lot to ask for a console that mostly just plays watered down PS3 ports.


Wow, that was epic :D

They pay this guy? Seriously, 3/4 of the people on this website say Vita is too expensive. Welcome to last year...

How does a person like him have a job?

I guess Vita sales do prove the obvious. Also, the other problem is it needs a more steady flow of games. A $179 Vita with 4gb memory card would be nice for consumers but not for Sony.

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

I'm starting to think no one here understands that the vita dosnt need to break out of the gate selling 10 million + a year. As long as Sony is making something from it, it's perfect. Why drop the price and lose a billion dollars? Any way, they really need to show commercials showing off the tablet side of the vita. This is one area the 3ds simply can not compete and could be sonys ace if they play thief cards right with psmobile. As of right now it does most of everythin I need it to. We just need an email client and fire fox, and I'm set.

Vita is having a rough start just like the 3DS did. Too expensive and not enough games.
Can't wait to get my hands on an XL.

"That said", hey?


Sir, the only place in this thread where the phrase "that said" pops up is in your own typed words.

k, you were wrong about the gigabit thing, you're wrong here again. I'll reply to wolf in a sec.


I did a CTRL + F bro, there is no phrase in this thread that matches your quotes aside from when you said it. Also, I'm going to reply in that Google thread to clear up what my post was about you nerb. 

EDIT: I see what you did there.

If Patchter thinks that the 3DS XL model is unlikely to increase sales of the 3DS, that means that the 3DS sales are about to shoot up, because Pachter is always wrong.

The only time his statements are ever right is when he is being captain obvious

  • The Dark Knight Rises will make lot of money
  • PS Vita is too expensive and needs more software boost
Pretty much everything else he says is wrong... especially when it comes to Nintendo

The memory cards are the most expensive part of the Vita imo.

What happened with the PS3 is pretty much gonna happen to the Vita, it'll take about 2-3 years before we actually see some positives for the Vita except for the occasional rise in sales when certain exclusives and certain releases come out.

Agreed.

*Broken Record mode on

PSVita has no games

*Broken Record mode off

But seriously, so far the biggest sales spike came from Persona 4 and i played that on my PS2 3 years ago.
