Kazuo Hirai has said the Vita has sold on the low end of expectations.

wasn't that the case with the 3ds? vita has some wrong vibes with it (sony actually is the vibe) and they have not analysed the market and players well before they built the hardware. the wii u's deluxe version was sold more than the standard version although its more expensive. why is that?

Well sony, if you had just made your vita able to use NORMAL frigging micro SD cards instead of your own stupidly expencive S*** cards then I (and about 3 of my friends) would have purchased one and I'm sure it would be selling a ton more.

It sold bellow the expectations, but it still is the best hardware that I ever hold in my hands.

nah, think about it
does the vita let you empty yourself?
does it grow when you are happy?
does it make girls scream?

I will say no shit sherlock, to Kazuo.

I think we should take a moment to extend our sympathies for the people who worked on the Vita from the concept phase onwards. They've stuck by it for years and they must have had such high hopes for it. They obviously thought they were on to a winner and had great job satisfaction from working on it, right up until it was released, bombed epicly and now it just sort of slithers around unnoticed for the most part. Kinda like parents who are excited through the pregnancy, proud at the birth, then their son just sorta bums around the house til his mid thirties and never really achieves much.
