Its a mixture of not enough games that interest me and its currently too expensive.

The costs is morea than what it's worth in exclusives, also already tried some of the jap releases andim still waiting for japan to support it fully.

For me, it's a combination of three things:
- there is no must-have game yet. There are a lot of games that I would purchase and play if I had a Vita, but nothing yet to push me over the edge to buy a Vita
- waiting for a price drop. The current price of a Vita + memory card is more than I'd want to spend for the amount of use I'd get out of it
- I wouldn't have much free time to play it. I haven't even had much time to play my PS3 lately.

They fixed those load times, but yes they were long when it released. I think it was something like 1 min 20 secs to start playing, now I think its 30 to 40 secs. Oh and it got a price drop, $19.99.

Thought I now everyone wants a large memory card, 16gb/32gb, you should consider snaging the next bundle you see. Not only will you get a game like LBP, CoD:BO:D, or AC3:L there will be a memory card. Probably only a 4gb but it will atleast hold you until memory prices go down or a sweet deal comes by. You can always stick to retail games or manage digital titles by deleting ones you aren't playing (you can always redownload them)

understandable. Yet another thing to take note of. The actual sellers for both systems are already established IPs. The rest are only mildly good. You see New IPs designated for handheld are games like Imagine for 3DS and Little Deviants for Vita. These games are only kinda good, and alre also full of trash games that no one really likes. I could argue the 3DS(just as the DS was) has a far bigger ratio of these than Vita. In other words most of these new IPs are shovelware anyway that no one is buying, they just pad the game count.

I am not the best at math and algarithms, correct me if I am wrong....

• I can assume that with everyone voting these are hardcore gamers, at the very least gamers who stay in the "know". 
• Due to Sony's faulty advertising we know that the above are the main people buying, no one else really knows about it.
• So in the poll there is an option for if you actually own a Vita
• I am seeing the trend is that those who own a Vita and those who are waiting mostly for price drop trend around the same amount
• so if about 2.5mill people bought it, at least that much is immediately waiting in the wing for the PD on it.
• More Games trends slightly less, so slightly less people are affected enough to buy than price drop.
• Thats why I put the option of "I own a Vita" there in the first place.

*wags finger at you in disgust*

I had 2 modded PSPs though so I can't really judge. The modding is actually what caused sales spikes in the systems (but killed game sales). I played a few great choices from GBA on my PSP and kids would be like "WOW HOW ARE YOU PLAYING POKEMON ON A PSP!??!?!" and I'm all like "Immunities baby....immunities!"

Yet when you think about WHY people were modding it in the first place, it was because they wanted apps and the like and unique funtionalities that Sony refused to give them. It became apparent that modders were far more efficient at making apps than Sony was. They are the main reason Sony built Vita with apps in mind and are starting the PS Mobile initiative. I won't pretend it also wasn't so you could play pirated games and emulate old stuff.

If Sony could only find a way to emulate older systems again without giving modders the same power to pirate THEIR games...........

even though you don't really think it is too expensive, you do have limited funds. So if Sony were to give a price drop that would be most likely to put it within your range of purchasing. Am I wrong?

Put too expensive.

I did take what you said into consideration before even making this Poll. I realize the VGC userbase is not indicative of the entire market. Yet they are more indicative of people who already own a Vita and see themselves as Gamers. This would be the hardcore the Vita more so targets anyway. I think the data is still very useful(barring anyone is really lying).  It seems Sony is only tapping into a 3rd of immediate fanbase from the data. Which means with a few more big name titles and the inevitable price drop, Vita could be at 6-7mil already. Games of course are hard to quantitate due to different tastes but what HAS become apparent is that the # of games needed to sway a buyer in/decreases with the actual amount they Pay for the device(Meaning people demand from something they feel they spent a lot of money on).

So key point, a Price Drop would at its very least get Sony and the Vita out of the neck of the woods and put it on stable ground.
