Playstation Vita - Hayzie - 18-02-2012 17:45
Is anyone interested in the PS Vita?The launch is only a few days away, and I for one cant wait! What do you think of the new system and are you interested in getting one?

i would get it, but i had a psp when they first came out and there was not a lot of decent games out for it so if they have lots of good games for the vita then yea i'll get it.

Difficult to justify in my opinion when you have good games to play on Blackberry, iphone,ipad and android phones. Its just another piece of kit to carry around.

This will flop BIG TIME like it's already doing in Japan. Expensive ( you can get a PS3 for less), crap battery life, crap camera, the button layout is terrible for any games with shooting involved, unoriginal games, gimicks like touch screen gaming, subscription fees for the 3G model. Leave Nintendo to the handheld market Sony they know how to make gimicks work snd sell them to pretty much anyone.

i wouldn't get one because of the touchscreen, i've got a DSi and a small strip of the screen has stopped reacting to me tapping, etc. on it... i wouldn't mind, but i haven't been rough or over the top with it, it just happened out of nowhere, so i only really use it as an alarm now... so to sum up, i don't like touch screen technology

I totally disagree. It may not be selling well in japan right now, but i think thats because it doesnt have a a 'killer app' that appeals to the eastern audience yet. as for its battery, it may be 'crappy' but its still comparable to the 3ds, I havent seen any post release complaints.
Subscription fee is optional/ pay as you go, the same as any other 3g service, no device offers that for free?
yes the touchscreen stuff is gimmicky right now but like the 3g its optional for most games, we cant write off this feature based on launch games alone.
If we compare it to the 3ds' launch I think the Vita is offering a better experience. when the 3ds came out its library was sloppy and everyone i knew only had one game for months until Zelda came out, it was about 6 months before games really started to come out, not to mention the state of their estore. cant hate on the price imo, its wifi version is £209 online (which is around the same price if not cheaper than the 3ds pre ambassador programme) and it offers alot more: cross platform play, oled screen, party chat, messaging, downloadable games simultaneous to retail shops, ect.
I dont think the vita will ever surpass the 3ds in sales but it doesnt have to in order for it to be a success.

I have a theory about that, I think because its Sony's 5th console they called it the PSV and just made the V stand for something (vita = life)
