Playstation Vita 'PS VITA'

I've probably talked about this before but it's come to my attention that the playstation vita has only sold a miserable 2.2 million units since Decemeber last year. The Nintendo 3DS sold 6.68 million units in the same point in it's life cycle as where the PS vita is right now. That's disappointing but here's the reason i think it is.

The world is saturated with mobile devices, Take the iPhone for example or infact take iOS instead. iOS is the most successful and the most profitable Gaming system ever and speaking of successful things Apple have become the most valuable company in the history of mankind. With their stock hitting a all time high of $664 the other day and the iPhone side of apple is more valuable than the entire company of microsoft... That's just astounding but i have to say that i'm not surprised.

Right where was i.
The world doesn't need portable dedicated gaming devices when they are already carrying round an iPhone or a android device or iPod and they've got great games sure some games use the terrible virtual joysticks. People aren't going to carry round another device when they've already got a device that does what the other device does. It's the exact same thing with the camera business. Kodak and other camera manufacters are in risky waters because people aren't buying cameras any more because when they take out their phone, they've got a camera with a built in phone and gaming system, so they aren't gonna take out another device. The only people that actually buy cameras other than the mainstream audience such as Photographers and other people in media related jobs and industry.

The playstation vita packs a big punch and has a lot of power behind it. And the first and third party support they've got is amazing. Uncharted of the PSVita is the best looking game i've seen on any portable device and i mean every portable device. Textures just pop with crisp and the lighting effects are visually stunning and with the shadows well with the shadows, it makes you feel like you're really there. With third party support the playstation vita has games like Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, LittleBigPlanet, Call of duty and who could forget the exclusive Playstation Vita title from irrational games. Bioshock!
