I honestly should of made it shorter and worded it better. Basically in Japan the PSP sells well, unlikely localization of JP games, PSP outselling Vita 2:1, Vita losses money on each console sold, Lack of Marketing, lack of third party support, crossbuy, crossplay, some bad exclusives(resistance), lack of upcoming games 2013 (Killzone & Soul Sacrifice), implementation of minigame like sequences, high development costs, Sony closing some studios, Nihilistic Software focus on digital, PS1 support, lack of tv out option, multiple accounts and transferring data difficulty, new memory card format due to "security", Passport Program only Japan, PS+ support, Skype and various other Apps are a huge drain on a 3G data plan, battery life not to great, multitasking problems with web & gaming, Playstation Mobile, hacks, a carrot and stick firmware approach and Remote Play.TL;DR So does your novel come in paperback?
Kaz Hirai say Vita will make a profit in three years, The PS3 tried to use a similar tactic of selling hardware for a loss but profit on Software & Accessories sa;es but the gaming division has lost $2.4 Billion since the release of the PS3.
LET THE CIRCLEWANK COMMENCE.
This is a promising thread. By probably the next page it'll be a "Let's masturbate to poor Vita sales" and "Let's burn the Vita in effigy". By the fourth page it'll turn into some spat. By the fifth page it'll be closed.
EDIT: By the way we know the Vita is doing bad, we know why it's doing bad, we don't need ANOTHER thread dedicated to why and how it's doing badly. All these threads are is just a cheaply built soapbox for people who get raging hardons at the thought of poor Vita sales to go "THE VITA SUX HURRAH!" instead of actually trying to, you know, be positive for once. I enjoy the Vita, I know it's doing badly, but I hope for the best because it's a great console with a lot of promise. Why anyone would be so gleeful at its downfall is beyond me. Even if you hate Sony and love Nintendo, a monopoly is horrible. Competition breeds success. Everyone should wish the Vita does better. On the 3DS side, a competitively selling Vita means Nintendo has to up their game. Make better titles, improve their system, stuff like that. On the Sony side, obviously a better selling Vita means the same thing.
But yeah, it just completely puzzles me why people actually love taking shots at the Vita instead of saying "It's not doing well, let's hope it does better."
I know the truth sometime can hurt, but let's face the facts, the Vita isn't relevant as an handled device nowadays and probably never will.
And why should I hope it gets better, when Sony is become a giant , arrogant manufacturer who doesn't give a shit about its loyal customers and keeps on shafting us with overpriced memory sticks and limited hardware functionality in the name of piracy protection ?
They can burn in hell for what I care.
Sure I find the fact that Sony decision to use the PSVita memory cards instead of the various one out there a dick move. But come on. Let's face it. It's not like you guzzle up memory thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat fast. And it's not thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat expensive really if you think about it. As mentioned many times already, the price of the console is actually reasonably low given the specs so I guess they have to try to make up for it somewhere else. And like Guild said, I'd rather it do well so Ninty won't be complacent. Honestly, who else can fill the space? Cellphone gaming? Pffft LOL
You wouldn't believe what kind of luxury pastimes I allow myself every now and then since I moved here in Zurich ......I love it when people complain about luxury pastimes.

Actually i know 3G better than you. And its useless on a console because it uses a lot of traffic data, therefor you pay more for it.China called, they wanted their wall back.
I take you don't know what 3G is.Sony never came up with something original, in my opinion i prefer the 3DS over the PS Vita, it doesn't have 3G but so what? It has got SpotPass which is kinda the same thing, also the library of games for the 3DS are awesome

The vita is a great system along with the 3DS too. I think they both are marketed to different audiences though, as having owned both I just feel a little bit more like an adult with my vita as compared to the 3ds.

I know it's just your opinion, but what makes you think the Vita and 3DS are aimed at different audiences? Because Sony said so? Just look at the 3DS library, it has many quality hardcore games, I actually miss some of the casuals...
Also, saying the use of proprietary memory cards is not a big deal is the same thing as saying the lack of a mini-sd cart slot in the iPhone is not a big deal. You can't use the SD card's you already own
you must buy a proprietary reader if you want to view your card directly on your PC
what about if you lose your card or it gets full?
