Again. Sony won't lose any more money. Cannot do the same bundles because the PS3 is so much cheaper in the US.

PS3 500GB in US: $276, EU: $333 (245€) and UK: $337 (£209).

So they are losing money on the GTA bundle?

US price is without tax, EU price is with VAT. VAT varies in EU from 15 - 25%. Standard VAT rate in UK is 20%, so the actual price of a console is ~280$ in UK, the difference in price is the VAT (VAT stands for value added tax).

What would honestly make me pick up a vita is a good catalog of JRPG's as that is very hard to find on any system atm. I almost picked one up just for the downloadable titles from the PSP.

Price, memory cards and games for PSV is what Sony must work on EVERYWHERE, not only in America. But this Xmas most resources are on PS4 launch, so PSV could have to wait for Xmas 2014 and need a restyling and a new launch campaign to hype it enough. Using many standard smartphone and tablet components with few customisations, PSV will be fine on profitability and Sony will be able to drop its price without any problems (its estimated BoM was $160 in January 2012, so in mid 2014 it should be dirt cheap to build), this will allow Sony to keep it on the market even with low sales, but it will need a relaunch and serious support, sooner or later, if Sony doesn't want to give up almost all it achieved in the portable market with PSP. Also, Xmas 2014 is the last call, after that PSV will be able to survive only as a low-cost niche portable. It won't die,anyway, unless Sony kill it.

No. Theres no BoF3 on PSN. Only physical PSP disc.

Or, if you have it i would like to know wich country you live in.

Week ending September 22 was literally the worst week for Vita hardware sales on record in Japan. And then the next week it had a pretty big release leading to one of its top 10 weeks for software sales on record in Japan, and received almost a nonexistent hardware bump. So, no.

I'll give you Europe, though. It's doing relatively alright there.

Also, Western publishers just don't seem to care about handhelds.

I have BoF3 on my Vita.  It's compatible in the UK, at least.

Might want to check the numbers from before the new colours were introduced last year :P

Vita's problems start in the West start and finish with this one word: games. It get's next to no Western games. Japanese games are ok, jRPG may be fun, but I'm a Western gamer and I like Western games much, much more. Unfortunately so far we get next to nothing and it's sad :/I understand that this Christmas season Sony is focusing on PS4 in order not to screw this one up - I would do the same. But starting February-March 2014, they need to make a huge push on Vita. PS4 will do well, I think they've already secured that and the next Naughty Dogs and SSM games will be more than enough for 2014. But Vita needs some serious love from SCEE and SCEA. It can sell much, much more in the West than it is selling in Japan, they just need to give us similar support to what Vita is getting in Japan.
