where was all this talk when the 3DS was struggling. Its funny how that quick price drop made people forget that for the longest the only game worth buying for it was freaking Street Fighter 4. Then months later...another rerelease of Ocarina of Time. Then Nintendo's hand was forced and they had to drop the price. Damn, at least give the system a full year and its first holiday season.

If anything, it just shows that $250 for a handheld by its self wont work anymore. Hell, I bought my Vita(3G version), 4gb Memory Card, Uncharted:GA and Gravity Rush for less than $210. And instead of just straight up dropping the price, Sony is making bundles for it while keeping the price the same. For example, the White Vita that comes with a 4gb memory card and Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation. They cant drop the price but they are trying to give more value to the product.

A lot of good games are out and coming. Some people need to get out of there comfort zone on the titles that they play and try new franchises.
the same could be said of the Xbox 360. the thing launched at $399 for the best configuration and like 7 years later the best configuration still cost $399.

Man I bet you same nikkas was shouting about how PS3 is dead back in 07 and now PS3 is the most critically acclaimed console of this generation with games that encompasses top quality blockbuster titles that reaches a new frontier of gaming that isn't possible on other media devices AKA dvdboxes. :wow:

Vita will be in the palm of gamers and non gamers alike in the next few years across the globe when major titles are released such as Sly 4, AC: LIberation, PASBR, and more great quality titles that are yet to be announced. Here at Sony, gamers are the utmost priority and us consumers are soon to receive a golden shower or better yet Persona 4: Golden. Please be patient. :steviej:

ps3 is 3rd place :mjpls:

Dont know why sony hasnt fixed the remote play. That was a feature they touted as being available on the system but nothing. Said id be able to stream any game on my ps3 remotely. Its a joke to be honest with you. They'll fix it when no one cares anymore. thankfully, i will because i own one. Guess ill only be able to all back on jailbreaking it and transferring games i already have on my vita.

NeoGAF - View Single Post - Sony Q1 Results: $312 Million Loss
according to Sony combined sales of the PS2 and PS3 are outselling the Wii and 360 combined worldwide. the question is how many of those sales were PS2 sales. i can't imagine that many.

as for the LTD sales i'd call it a wash
the Wii is at like 96 million sold
the 360 is at like 67
the PS3 is at like 64

we're talking about a 30 million unit difference between first and second place and about a 3 million unit difference between second and third. comparability speaking its an effective tie. the PS3 did however eat up all the Profits Sony made form the PS2. the damn thing just lost a ton of money while Microsoft made money.

I thi k yall forgot that cell phones cost $500+ if not on contract., its not cell phones thats killing them because most gamers on cell phones are casual gamers. Meaning they may pay a game here n there.

GTA
would cop one if they had nba 2k.....a killer first person shooter......and an hd connection that would allow you to play in on your tv (psp had one so I don't see why vita shouldn't). Only game that interests me now is FIFA.

Lol denial is crazy

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3

Honestly I don't see the big deal. When I had a dreamcast I never felt it was dying or w/e. I played it and loved the games out for it and had it as my main console for a few years. When I heard it died off and wasn't going to have games made for it anymore I was a little distraught but ehh w/e. Likewise for Vita only when i get online I hear this stuff. Outside of that I play my games that I have on it and use it for what it's for. I'm not one of those self entitled gamers who feel I must have piff drop every 2 weeks to feel like my purchase was justified.
