    I like it, something fresh to talk about. I think the PS Vita was destined to fail at that price point. No one wants to pay that much for a dedicated gaming device with little ecosystem outside of the Playstation Store. Its design, display, and performance are awesome. Everything else about it is just meh.

    I remember when I had a vita. Glad I got rid of it early. I love it. But it was making me go broke.

    I still have my vita running VHBL although I barely use it. All Sony has to do is remake FF7 for it and bam, it would be a hit. Remake, not port.

    This was expected. This is the same as every portable device since the smart phone generation

    Phones and iPods are becoming much more appealing. Why? Ultimate portability and the innovation of graphics and processors is really great.

    The PS vita had decent graphics and definitely was portable. Want to try again?

    It isn't hard to expect that bad of sales when the device is priced that high. Look at the PSP go: that didn't sell well at all, because people didn't want to spend $250 on that. Now we have the Vita, and of course it isn't selling well at $250. I personally think it would have been much more profitable if it didn't have that steep price tag.

    Also, relevant.

    Yea -_- because my vita fits real snug in you pocket. Listen, I go to work or hang out with friends, why would i need a vita when my phone satisfies my rare few minute moments to game
