Read this ages ago it seems, but can’t believe I didn’t give you the props for the interview. It’s a great insight. I hope you this again for future PlayStation devices too.

Yeah those are flaws im hoping Sony will be looking to fix in the future Joe. Currently i cannot get one on the release as i bought a new pair of great (expensive) headphones around the same price of the Vita for my music. I’m just going to wait till Black Friday 2012. I’m hoping, Sony, you will have a GOOD price drop for the Vita, ESPECIALLY the memory cards and other accessories for it and maybe fixed a flaw or two in the Vita.

Will there be more PSVITA skins other than black and white?

Love this device, absolutely phenomenal :) I can remember when I came back from school and saw the announcement of “NGP”, so I’ve known about it from the start. Sold both of my PSPs for it and all of the games. Pre-ordered in October, and been waiting ever since.

Sure it isn’t the perfect device that everyone must have because it only allows one account per memory card, and no HDMI or Video Out and no Hard Drive, but remember this, it’s only the beginning. It’s only the start of Vita’s life and we will probably see a lot of different modifications and updates made in the future.

As for accessories and games, Sony clearly said that the new format is for security purposes. I don’t think any of us enjoyed watching the PSP burn with Homebrew and Custom Firmware. Memory cards may be a bit overpriced, I can’t argue with that. As for games, amazing titles are approaching. And I don’t mean Uncharted on its own. I mean Resistance Burning Skies; Call of Duty; Mortal Kombat; Final Fantasy X; Dust 514; Killzone; Bioshock; Metal Gear Solid and MANY more.

This is a handheld that is truly worth the name “Next-Generation” . I’m not being one sided on this but Vita’s sales will skyrocket over the next few months.

@ Joe-TFW I agree with you. I had one on pre-order when it was first available to do so. When the price of the memory cards were released I canceled my order. As impressive and beautiful as this machine is it’s lacking common sense things as you stated.

The lack of a dedicated hard drive, the insistence of using proprietary memory cards and those card prices, the lack of an HDMI out to hook up to a display, as well as the poor battery life all combine to make the PS Vita an easy skip. I don’t understand why they would skimp on things that even a cheap smart phone has anymore. Completely missed opportunity here.

Great, and more designer interviews in the near future, please! We don’t get the chance too often when compared to say developers of games, but I like hearing how hardware ideas are considered.

I wonder why they decided not to go with concave analog sticks. My thumb always travels on the DS3 sticks, especially during chase/running sequences. But I’m kinda glad Sogabe-san lost on when it came to making the device thin – thicker can be more ergonomic sometimes…and I think it is in the case of the Vita.
