Centrix said:I wish Sony would pull out of the handheld market already. Haven't they learned their lesson yet? All the Vita is a over glorified PSP with rounded corners and two touch screens and I can't see many games using the one on the back which is a awkward place for it any ways. I mean I'm hyped for it, I own a PSP Slim 20001 but lets face it the Vita is just another reason for Sony to stay in the Handheld market and try to dethrone Big N key word their was (TRY) not happening ever. Since Nintendos already fixed all the problems that users were complaining about the 3DS its sales are once again through the roof all over the world.
Sorry Sony as curious as I am about your system, remove the two touch screens and start being original once more then will talk ball!
PS: These are my opinions and mine alone, I base them on whats on the net in my game magazines and just on everything as a whole! From the time Sony showed off the Vita no was interested and that's hardly any real interest yet.
It is your opinion but to say it's a PSP with "rounded corners" and "two touch screens" is over simplifying it. I could easily say, by this logic, that the 3DS is just a DS with 3D. But even I can acknowledge that it's not.
And the PSP was pretty damn close to winning actually, at least at the start. And having as many sales as it did is far from "unsuccessful".
So having a touchscreen is unoriginal now? You realize almost every modern electronic handheld seems to use a touchscreen nowadays and for good reason. Not because it's a fad, but because it opens up so many options (navigating anything becomes infinitely easier, you can put any button on the screen essentially, the list goes on).
Plus, Sony could just be in the handheld market to, you know, make money. If they got cash off the PSP (which I'm sure they did) what's to stop them from not continuing on a route that could lead to more cash? They simply want to obviously take some of Nintendo's market because that's the crowd that will buy handhelds, it seems. Being competitive is something every company does, to get angry at Sony for it is simply silly.
