So much for selling the damn things.....
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Still not enough to push sells. Mabye if they set it as so you buy the PS3 game you get the vita game free, that with dropping the price 100$ they would make a killing.

Sony needs to drop the price by $100 This YEAR. They could turn the VITA back into a great idea if they do it now with the holidays coming up soon. Also before the release of any new consoles. Otherwise I'm sure the Vita will turn out to be like the NEO-GEO Pocket and SEGA 32X. SONY is coming off like SEGA.
OH YES ... THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

Nah I picked up a 3DS for $140 last Christmas... Price point seems good to me, but I've been out of the current gaming scene for a few years now. I wish there was a catalog good enough to get me back in, or at least advertised well enough...
And I'm not talking over-hyped mainstream blockbusters.

The 3DS is a joke, the WII U is a joke....those things harken back to the 32X and Saturn ><
Tho I am with you, I don't game much anymore, I stick to 10-20$ deals on ebay. Picked up Xeno blade and Last Story on the WII ^^ and 4 360 games for 10$ Vanquish,Dark Void,Halo ODST and FF13 for the PS3.
Sadly I got SHadows of the damned for 30....but I knew it sucked I got it for the crappy style more than anything else LOL

This thing is just too expensive. Why buy this when you can get a ps3 for the same price. Sure with the 3Ds price you can buy a wii but the 3Ds produces games that are fun. The vita has too much useless features like that touch panel in the back just makes no sense. Release a version with some of these features removed and they should be good.

The Vita's are just not selling in the US and I think by Christmas time Sony will have to wake up and drop their prices, otherwise they won't be selling over the holiday season and Sony will lose even more money then they are now.
Sad because they are very nice with great features especially if you own a PS3 and had a PSP.

Possibly because if you want to play PS3 games on the go? Last I checked a PS3 didn't work well in a airplane or a car or on the go for that matter.

I think it is arrogance mostly. They make some very good products but think they are better than they really are some times.
