I wish nintendo would innovate something instead of rehashing its old software on consecutive hardware releases that are underpowered and underwhelming. Vita is a lot closer to the mark on what's important in a handheld to me. Anxiously awaiting new software.
 
[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]ok, bit by bit. 1 vita has a smaller screen, makeing less detail seam like there is more, its how it can have ps3 like quality in instances2 the wiiu will come out with roughly current gen capabilities, but at a higher resolution... the graphics engins will get better and more adapted over time to better suit the system, and in 2-3 years we will see something great from it. 3 the vita isnt a flop yet, it had no great software at launch, and i still dont think it has enough must play software to warrent buying, not to mention the over all cost, not the system, but the memory. once a true system seller hits japan and america we an judge itso true, basiclly, if it doesnt come with the system, assume its a dead concept. the kinect was a rare exception where it sold, what, 5 million last christmass. basiclly, if you want the functionality, it has to be a system bundle, otherwise it will be dead. good game desighn does that, and in some cases, like mario galaxy, what would the power of a ps3 really do for it that it doesn't have already?wrong. you need system seller games, the hardware is worth the price, but none of the games make me feel i must play it, every system i own i got because of 1 game that grabbed me so hard that i MUST play it. a lower price will not make up for it, it just wont. you need the system seller..and if you want to be cynical, they already have the price lower than cost to make, and subsidize it through memory cards. the original apples had FAR more memory than the equivilant pc, making them of higher value. and it was like that for a long time, but at some point, a pc and mac both could have the same amount of ram, and that, their only advantage, went away. the wii has that kid friendly, everyone in the house can play feel, something that the ps3 and 360 never got. so its not about graphics. the processor was a problem, but only because it was a year later than the 360... never doubt the value of being first. the 360 would honestly be a failure of a system if it didn't have a year head start and only comparable to a pc at the time. that said, i far prefer the ps3, and lament every game that is a 360 exclusive, i have had 7 of the things, and only 2 ps3s... ps3 lasts ALLOT longer then the 360.[/citation]

What a lot of fluff. Talk less, learn more.

It's a fact that lowering prices increases sales. It's tried and true. If you don't have enough units out there, no one spends tons of money to develop software for it. Got it, junior?

More to the point, you're making the juvenile mistake of thinking you're important. Because you think one way, and you're so great, everyone must. But, I guess you're wrong. Reality is, whenever makers lower prices, their sales go up. And that's the part of the equation they can control. You've got to be willing to bite the bullet now, or Vita will simply not matter, ever. You can't make someone make a great game for a failed platform. You can lower the price if you're Sony.
