VITA for sony is a long-term investment, keep the price, gamers still love it it's not like cheapDS selling out because of the pressure of VITA  the circumstance now is just clear, Nintendo made a good retreat and posed a disturbance to VITA to confuse consumers the rest of the work  leaves to other company not only games companies but also mobile phone companies who feel threat of VITA, i.e. Apple, unscrupulous  Samsong best on using any cunning commercial means. They will use their most loyal marketing partners as a tool to find fault with or even derogate their potential opponent. We shouldn't trust them. not only they shouldn’t cut the price, they must keep it! VITA for sony is a long-term investment, keep the price, gamers still love it

Well, congrats and happy gaming :) What titles are you getting? Btw, the PS Vita official facebook page published today a few trailers (from the official PlayStation Youtube channel), if you're interested. My first pick would be Uncharted :)  I think it’s one of the biggest lineups of software for a Sony console and that’s something to praise.

On a side note, I am personally excited about the launch lineup -> will get my vita on Friday and expect to hit the 3:1 HW/SW ratio on that day already :) Fully agree – content will be key.

With this piece I just concentrated on launch sales and maybe, next year, when we will have definitive info regarding the handheld's performance, I could try and forecast for some years ahead. I'm actually more interested in the content for the Vita and third-party publishers' commitment. Sony can try to integrate the device with a perfectly designed platform but not having content to push to their consumers will mean death for the device. For the moment it looks like many publishers are on board, but things can change in a few months.

One more element one might would like to consider is vita's integration with the psn/ps3. Although this is not directly linked to launch sales, but rather to lifetime sales, one could look at the Vita again from another angle: In my opinion there is a race ongoing between e.g Apple, Sony, MS, Amazon ... to become the leading integrated entertainment platform. Content obviously is also the key success factor to win this race. Although devices remain important, innovation is shifted from the device to the platform, i.e.: -Business models, monetarization & 3rd party dev appreciation -Integration with environment, both social and technical -USPs vs other platforms An analysis would potentially look at ipad, kindle touch, playbook, etc rather than NDS. I feel Sony could have significant potential with the vita, if they are able to lever the psn platform. However, i am aware that its not fully there today and that it will take a while..

With Vita, it's the games that sell the hardware, so if they will be able to sustain this strong line-up of titles, the hardware sales will go up.
