Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has said that the PS Vita is “too expensive for most” and that the 3DS XL is “not all that compelling for the consumer”. Speaking to VG247, Pachter said that the Vita is “pretty expensive” although it’s “good value and a great device.”
“Vita’s too expensive for most, priced pretty much the same as the PS3 everywhere,” he said. “While I think the Vita is a good value and a great device, when compared to the PS3 it’s pretty expensive.”
“Also, there is not much of a library of Vita games,” he added, suggesting that the software levels are still too low, “so sales will probably be slow until we see more content.”
Obviously, most of this is pretty obvious to avid gamers so it’s nothing new, but it’s good that analysts agree…
