Sega West CEO Mike West is excited for the Vita, not only because it’s focus will be for the core gamers, but also because Sony is promising a wide variety of affordable options and price points for games - something that Nintendo’s 3DS eShop still struggles with.
West went on to explain the implications of the different pricing systems, especially when it comes back to the developers and planning for a title.
These are the same issues and comments that have been plaguing the Nintendo 3DS for the past few months - content has been lackluster and there have been hardly and system-selling games. It may be that Sony finally has a chance to take a large portion of the handheld market - a demographic Nintendo has dominated for decades. With more developers speaking their mind, it’ll only be a matter of time to see if the talk is worth the walk.
