It cost money to advertise and apparently in the history of Sony Vita launch was the most they ever spent for advertisement which was dedicated to the hardcore gamer. Jack Tretton at one point decided to make claims that the 3DS wasn't for the hardcore it was for babies.
PlayStation boss: Nintendo 3DS a 'babysitting tool'
A senior exec at Sony has given Nintendo's 3DS a severe verbal beatdown, calling the glasses-free 3D console a "b...
The problem is that time is not on their side. What if the PS4 does come next year? You think the Vita is going to be the focus or will it be the PS3 and PS4. I have my doubts about Vita picking up especially if it is selling as slow as it is. If publishers today are not supporting Vita than it isn't going to come later from a bump from Xmas because they are already focusing on the PS4 and still the PS3 now while they have B teams working on current Vita games. Those publishers are a...
The problem isn't the price the problem is the device is not mass appeal and the games even at the price it is at our not what current owners care for. The highest and only game that has sold 200,000 is uncharted.....WORLDWIDE and it isn't because of the price. That is out of 2.3 million devices sold. The rest of the games, have sold at 50k or less.
The othernproblemmis you all who keep thinking 200 is this omg boost somehow ignore the memory card requirement that bri...
The only people who are asking for the price drop are people who frequent game sites and forums. Consumers in general are not interest in the device period. There is no omg when it hits 200 it will sale in mass.
There was it was called Live for Windows which is now free. The only way for it to work is for an agreement with every company that makes games to fall under.
Yep

We already saw this coming and being this is the third studio since it shouldn't be a surprise. MS made a decision based on climate and risk at the time. Sony is trying to save money where studios are not producing. That is the only difference between the two companies which is supposed to produce the same results. Nothing to do with MS...
Sony is doing exactly what a company has to do. This is no different than when MS decided to close internal studios that were not producing. It is good and bad. You can't keep a company that isn't going to produce results that you need. The games these companies made are still playable.
Another ex employee about some claim again.
Yet this isn't about PS3 or BR or 3DS. The Vita has been like this since it released. The Vita doesn't have Nintendo's pedigree of history. The Vita is has game announced that are not coming today. IS the Vita dead? NO
Is the Vita healthy? NO. You love to steer the conversation to focus about what happened in the past on other consoles. Vita is not the 3DS and the problems the 3DS had was only price. The Vita has multiple problems with it. Price, games,features an...
Supposedly nobody owns a Vita. Whether they are better or not consumers are choosing not to buy it to even find out themselves. This is the lease of the concerns as far as Vita goes whether the games are better or not which is a matter of opinion.
Except that is the success and failure of the PSP. THE PSP sales which mostly in Japan but the rest of the world because it is hacked. The problem as to why it failed is because no games sale on it. People can talk about the exclusives that Sony created on the system sold but overall, the library of games didn't sale which caused publishers to move away. It is why the Vita is having issues now because of those that got burned from the PSP and plus since the Vita isn't currently sel...
What is it competing against?
This is a pretty idiotic question to ask. It is a dedicated handheld that is competing to get consumer money against another dedicated handheld that IS getting consumer money.
"Since before it launched, we've all known the market the Vita is aimed at: the same market as the PS3. That's considerably smaller than the market the 3DS is aimed at, or the market smartphones and tablets are aimed at."
Yes and Sony projections when it launched in Japan which is almost a year now were drastically different and expectations were that it would have sold more than it has now so what is your point about about 6 months? Why do people keep talking about 6 months because as of last month in the US alone it sold only 48k which is equivalent to what it sales Ina month in Japan with an average of 8k a week
But it is N4G and the consolidated articles fault if you listen to the fanboys. This website and people who comment are somehow at fault with why the numbers are what they are if again you listen to the ones denial.
It is a niche product that doesn't appeal to the mass. People who do know about agrees the tech is great but the problem is that it can't compete especially at the price it is at. The games do not sell well on it. uncharted is the only game on the system ...
U might as well just say who you are talking about and that has to be the dumbest excuse I have heard. Watch it on a Vita and not a big screen? So what is the excuse for monitors on computers. How come we didn't hear you make the claim to not watch on anything but the Vita for Killzone, Uncharted?
COD is based on the gameplay and so many consumers on consoles enjoy the gameplay. Your right COD isn't garnered for the graphics but also the graphics are not bad as ...
The thing is that Sony pushed for COD not Activision and just by revealing that it was another developer signed on to make the game confirms that. Whether the reason was games not selling on the PSP ¤tly Vita and/or the main developers are focused on the console versions. Which makes sense but if Activision was really invested in it than why give it to a company that hasn't done a good job on any game they touch? Because they were the cheapest to invest in by Activision or is...
What is the difference of what he is saying to consumers that have not bought the device. Mentioning those game doesn't disprove anything. It is no different mentioning about games that you can play on any device that you can't on the Vita. The point is that some people don't warrant the purchase to play the games you listed and are already available. No different than a 360, PS3 or evens gaming PC if gamers are already getting the time and need elsewhere.
@ NukaCola
How exactly do they have time to fix what we saw of BO: Declassified in just 2 months?
What info can you show us about these unannounced killer projects that are on the way?
