I think its pointless. The vita is a device the West doesnt want. Let it go.


i could say the same thing about the xbox one in mainland europe. From the 25k xbox ones this week 10k sold in UK

Still better than Vita weekly output. Also Xbox One can have a timeframe where it does well with certain releases. I don't think Vita has really demonstrated a boost in sales outside of discounted heavily products.



 

They should do, but also release a new vita with R2 / L2 :) 



I think either the Vita or the PSTV would make for a good/smart bundle for anyone in the market for a PS4

I think no one would buy it. I also think Sony would never devalue the Vita that much. Especially when they'd have to bundle in a game with it, devaluing the whole thing further.


But would it really hurt the vita to take $100 of it if it means it will be in more peoples hand, meaning more games being bought (downloaded), especially for indies since apparently vita is indie heaven?

I'd buy it, don't think it'd be such a bad thing. the goal now should be to get it into peoples hands and selling more content.

If that's the logic, it's better to just sell the Vita vanilla for $100, which would sell way more Vitas, than sell the bundle for $500, where people would look at the Vita the same way they do the Kinect or the PS Eye add ons and ignore it in favor of the cheaper $400 PS4.

It also doesn't matter if the Vita is indie heaven. 99% of the Vita's indies can be bought on other, far more popular, platforms already. Indies will never be a selling point for any peice of gaming hardware.

When I say no one would buy it, I'm hyperbolizing. Only an insignificant handful of consumers would buy it, which was my point. The Vita is dead and has been for over a year. The goal now should be to empty stock and move on.



Nah. I'm not in that business, so I don't know how many expected sales dictates the kind of work that would go into making that bundle happen, but I can't imagine there's a large enough market for both. Hell, the market for PSvita on its own is pretty limited.



They were giving the PSVita free at Best Buy with purchase of a PS4. My friend was told that people were hesitant to take one even when it was free. Nobody seems to want a 720p digital box or a handicapped PSVita gaming selection.



Maybe $500 when ps4 launched. Its too late now though. There isn't any efficient way to resuccitate vita. Let it run its course and figure out if they want another shot at the handheld market.
