Its fan created logic. A PS fan can brag about PS3, but their rep will be tarnished so long as the Vita struggles.

i still believe PSVita is part of NextPS ( PS4 ) project...
vote i love it and hope they support it all the way!

b.t.w. i'm not a Sony fans but a PS fans... :P



threads like this makes me ashamed to be a gamer at times. What utter bs. Are you a shareholder of sony? if so you think vita is harming their profits? If the answer is no sales should mean no more than just a discussion topic which should NOT impact the enjoyment you get out of a system

If u don't own one, u don't deserve to comment, there are more games on the Vita that's worth playing than most handhelds...



How do u know that Sony is losing money from the Vita?? They said they would break even near day 1. I think they are actually earning money on each unit sold, I don't how much RD they spend on, but their hardware was probably profitable within the first few months

Part of me thinks that since the PS3 is picking up in sales the past few years, the PS fans got some of their confidence back from the glory PS2 days.

But then here's the Vita, the one piece of hardware that's holding back the PS fans from true greatness. This isn't about games, this is about bragging rights. As long as Vita struggles, they can't say with 100% confidence that Sony is a God again.

PSP never did well even when the real God of gaming (PS2) was the market leader.  Home and portable are entirely different monsters.  Look at Nintendo.  They lost home console market with N64 and Gamecube but their handhelds remained dominant in those years.

Oh, lol. Does this mean that I shouldn't enjoy all the Ps3 exclusives this year and instead should worry about the Vita? Damn, I'm doing it wrong.

Yet here we are. PSP did great for a first timer. Totally different then the numbers Vita is pulling in.

Are you out of your mind?

Why would Sony not develop a handheld after selling 75 million PSP? Why would they leave Nintendo with 100% marketshare? Sony had to at least try it. Like KazHirai said, it's the long term that matters. PS Vita still has a lot of time to stabilish itself.

And despite not having sold a lot so far (4.1M), it has already been worth having. I love my PS Vita and the games released on it so far.
