PS Vita’s crazy pricing for games





The PS Vita has been out for couple of weeks now and the buzz around it is actually pretty good considering the Nintendo’s 3DS performed quite bad at launch, it was only the after the 3DS got a price cut things started to pick up pace.

I have not got a PS Vita yet, but I will get one eventually. I have seen in many places that the games are ridiculously expensive for a small card, ranging from £25 for small games such as Ridge Racer and upwards to £45 for bigger games, Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

Things are changing fast in the gaming industry and everyone has a budget on how much money they can spend on games. Sony has met competition from OnLive and other cloud gaming services, and millions of people are jumping towards app gaming, which will certainly damage Sony’s market share no matter how good their PS Vita is.

Millions of people are moving towards the app generation where they spend little amount of money on games where they can pick up and play anywhere. However for hardcore gamers the PS Vita is gaming haven for graphics and gameplay in a small compact device. The games have got great reviews but a change in pricing needs to take place or else the economy would fall in to the cheaper app generation or else Sony could face losing millions of customers.

I think any games that are over £40 are too expensive, and anything below is great. In my opinion the PS Vita is on a different world for full on true gaming, and I don’t even own the BLOODY THING!!!
