Hahaha, no chance.

I'm already finished with the design phase for when I customize mine.

While it's certainly more affordable than expected, let's see what games are going to be available for it.

I'm still kind of worried about the placement of the sticks, to be honest. It looks like it's going to be just as uncomfortable as on the PSP to use them x2 since now there's two of them. That layout works for a controller that isn't flat, but not so much for a handheld which needs to be flat so that it's remotely portable.

Vita already has around 150 developers working on it.

3DS already bombed hard with it's release line up. Even the elevens don't care for it.

Sony won the conference alone with the Vita. PiiU was [parasitic bomb] that they didn't even show the console or talk about it. It's just trying to play off of retarded gimicks again. And the game footage they showed for it, Literally over 90% of it was was the PS3, 360, and PC versions of those games. U had nothing at all.

That took longer to happen than I thought it would.

C ya next year.

Doesn't mean it's guaranteed to have anything good at release. It's not uncommon for devs to have been working on a system for a long time before it's even announced, yet still not have anything of note for launch since they're still getting familiar with the hardware.

I'm sorry Nintendo, you lose in terms of portables this round \o/

You know, everyone said the same thing when the first DS launched.

$250 Vita is certainly unexpected, I'll give them that. Even if it is the low-grade model.

Krystal · **Reply #32 on:** June 09, 2011, 05:33:07 AM

D'ohoho~

Of course Ninty will still win in the end. I don't expect anything less from my favourite company. But to clarify things, the 3DS loses to the Vita for me.

As long as the Vita is backwards compatible, and I can import it, the 3DS can wait o/

Yeah, that certainly hasn't made any money for them thus far!

And speaking of money, Sony REALLY needs this thing to do well if it's true that this thing is going to have them in the red for approximately 3 years because of its price.

The price is the main reason it will hopefully do well. Because it's the same price as the 3DS, it actually has a chance of competition. Heh, I wonder how many city dwellers are going to spend that extra $50 for AT&T 3G service though.

Of course, but there's no denying that it's a risky strategy though.

Oh of course it is. But they have no choice.

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #38 on:** June 09, 2011, 09:27:46 AM

All gaming companies are at losses when the new hardware is 1st out. It takes a while for any of them to to actually make a profit, but they do in the long run.

Even with the RROD fiasco, in the last 3 or so years MS's been making nothing but profits, and it's rising each year.

And they're not selling it for cheap. It's been known for a while that the very 1st decision when it came to Vita was the pricing. Once they decided on that they designed the machine and specs withing that price range, hence the 2 models.

PlayStation Vita Just Might Be Region Free

Quote

This could be good news for anyone looking forward to the PlayStation Vita; IGN report that according to Michael Denny, Vice President of Sony Worldwide Studios Europe, the device will be region free, “to the best of his knowledge”.

The PlayStation Vita will come in two models – one with Wi-Fi capability for $250 and one with Wi-Fi/3G capabilities for $300.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #40 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:26:15 PM

I'm happy to hear that, because the majority of PSP games I have were from overseas. This will probably be the case with the Pita as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Vita lacks a UMD drive.

I don't imagine it'd be any small stretch for backwards compatability in the realm of digital downloads, though.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it does not play UMD discs.

Kieran · **Reply #46 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:04:35 AM

Yeah, the game media for the PSV is gonna be some kind of DS-like cartridge/card. No UMD drive.

Hypershell · **Reply #47 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:05:16 AM

So it's backwards compatible with PSN downloads only.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #48 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:06:49 AM

Pretty much, which means I can't trade in my PSP for one. Those Gundam games & DJ Max are just too good.

Krystal · **Reply #49 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:38:29 AM

Yeeeeah despite that I think I might still get it as long as I can somehow obtain Japan PSN games. Which my friend is convincing me is possible with a few contacts.

There have been a few PSP games I've felt like having but didn't feel like getting a PSP just for them. ~~S'a liiiiie~~ Physical copies are nice but I can live without...I guess.
