So why attack the Vita profits, so it's not as profitable as the 3ds.. so what? Yep so sony should close up shop it’s a dud, no one ever expected the vita to be bigger than the 3ds. What the sales have shown games on the Vita do sell, so there's very little worry when it’s comes to developing games for the vita. Sony will push the system and the games will come.

Nem @ What point is that exactly, does the ps3 have a lack of titles due to the psp? Did the psp lose money? Now tell me why the Vita shouldn't of been released.

If I'm not wrong 3ds lost Nintendo something to the tune of half a billion dollars last year? Sooo yeh. Lol. Dunno what that guy was havin a go @ Vita for

It was part 3DS and part Yen/$ issues. Also exactly where are you guys getting that Vita is profitable? I'd like to see it.

Vita is for me personally the best "gaming" device that I own atm, and it's the one I mostly use. It's along side my PC the only "platform" for which I've actually bought games in past 10 months.

I have no issues with it's library or the lack of so called "killer apps". Since there are already killer apps on it IMHO. Would I like to see more 3rd party games? Of course I would. Who wouldn't?

Does Vita stretches SONY's studios? I can ask a counter question... Did existence of PSP for past 10 years influenced the number of PS3 exclusives or by any means lack of them?

I know it's early.  I know there are big games coming.  I know it's a solid piece of hardware.  But Vita will never be super successful and we need to accept that.  I never had much of an interest in handheld gaming so I'm probably a little biased here, but Nintendo will always own that market unless they lose exclusivity to Pokemon somehow and while I feel like Sony should continue to support it through 2015 at least to not lose consumer interest in their platform, they need to be focusing on PS4.  They can't afford to split their first party development between PS4 and Vita with Microsoft being able to focus on home consoles.  I want them to drop this thing immediately but I realize the bad image and stain on the company that would produce so I guess they can go ahead and do 5 years of support, followed by 5 years of letting it ride (like with PSP).  I just want as many devs as possible working on awesome PS4 games.  What do you guys think of Vita?

Portable gaming is where the action is.  Home consoles aren't at this point.  Maybe there will be a change with the next generation coming up, but what do you expect Sony to do?  Please see the big picture here, regarding total game sales and what has happened.  Did you want Sony to not even try against Nintedo?

Also, what makes you think a big company like Sony can't multitask?

Is the Vita really profitable? I mean I keep hearing people saying the Vita is making Sony money and also the other way around, which one is it?

Handheld gaming is dead, get over it.

No adult outside a vocal niche group of people on the internet would be caught dead carrying around a 3DS or Vita in public. It's the smartphone-age and you're living in it.

Nintendo gets by on their core IP and the fact that they own the kids market, which still gravitates to handhelds. And in Japan where people use their handheld as their main gaming device.

But thats about it.

Stop worrying about Vita. It never had a chance to begin with anyway.

If you are one of the very few people that have one, enjoy it for what it is.

@zero129 I've also never had an issue with full 3D? The 3D effect in OoT is amazing isn't it?! Maybe we just have awesome eyes haha

The Op and the people who agree with him are tards, seriously the Vita is an awesome piece of kit, it literally shits all over the 3DS in almost every aspect, the Vita has the better screen, better graphics, better controls and better online service, it's a shame that the sales don't reflect that but this is no cause for Sony to just dump it. As long as Sony makes money from the vita sales, it'll be enough.

The 3DS 3D gimmick is an absolute mess, sure it works most of the time but the low res and horrible jaggies just make it a nightmare in 3D, in fact many here have stated in the past that they play with 3D off....kinda defeats the purpose, but to each their own I guess.

The only 2 things going for the 3DS is the cheap price and the 1 year head start it has in games when compared to the Vita.

I'll say this though, competition is a good thing, it fosters new ideas and helps drive the competitive price down. At the end the consumer wins no matter what.

The 3D is actually useful in some cases, but I agree that it was terrible when the 3DS launched and all their games had massive over the top "pop". They seemed to have toned it down slightly though, KI:U,Paper Mario, and others had "bettr" 3D than OOT:3D or SM3DL.

What What is them words im seeing they just dont make sense. Maro3d Land and Zelda OOT had great 3D Effects!!. Mostly on the 3DS XL when the effect really shows but even on the Original 3DS i thought the 3D was great in them games.

And to the OP yes The PSVita should of been made as it does have some pretty good games and im just waiting on it to get a price cut of €100 before i buy one.

I mean they didn't hurt your eyes as much.

Never had a problem with my eyes hurting from the 3D on the 3DS XL And i do have it on max all the time so dont know whats the problem dude.

A lot of people have been complaining that it hurts their eyes, you're most likely an exception. I find it does help when I actually wear my glasses when viewing 3D, but I rarely play with glasses on. 3D just isn't for me. I bought it for the games.

Sony is in an economic crisis just because of Vita. I feel like it just a small add-on to the handheld PSP but with enhanced graphic just like Nintendo DS to 3DS ~_~

1st of all,Welcome! 2nd, no Sony is in crisis because their TVs aren't selling and they have too many other projects not making anything.

I am a huge Sony fan, but the Vita kills me. It's garbage only by the fact that they entered a level of competition against smartphones. It's cool hardware really, but it just shouldn't have been created because of the competition. Also with this is, they tried to make a console quality portable device, and that in itself isn't good because when people want to do that, they sit down and actually play on their PS3. When people want to play a quick game on the go, they have their iPhone5, or Galaxy S3. Carrying around another device is just bothersome. Wish it was never created honestly, because even at the launch, I didn't get it. I still don't.

But now, I just wish they would cancel their support and focus on the PS4 fully. Concentrate on domination the HD console market, because here they have a honest chance to do so now, and in next-gen.
