It's a shame too because the Vita is a great piece of hardware especially compared to anything from Ninten Doh.

Oh, and the price point would actually be good because it also sells PS4s. Who is going to walk into Best Buy and pick up an Xbone when they can get a PS4 AND a Vita for the same price? Vita>Kinect.

Handhelds aren't doing well in America at all, not even Nintendo's DS and look at all the games out for it. However in Japan and in Europe, handhelds are doing great, the Vita is one of the top selling systems in Japan. Remember, gaming is a global market and you can't just make a blanket statement because what is true here isn't true everywhere else.

The 3DS is the one doing well around the world. The Vita isn't doing well anywhere otherwise we would be seeing games for it.

Lol. This was available back when the PS1 released back in '94. You can do it on the PS3 if your music is saved on the HDD.
