I seem to recall the 3DS had a slow software start-up.

He mentions that. He says that the 3DS wasn't doing so well until MK7 and SM3DL came out.

It's very convenient for him to say that, I don't remember a console that in less than 3 months of release had 300 games and in those, 250 were AAA games. To E3 now, please.

Even if he is talking out the side of his behind, he is right.

The 3DS price dropped becuase it had no software to backup the the 250 price tag, and the same is appliable to the PS Vita. Sony however is too proud to assume such an error, and will lose a lot of sales to the 3DS for that same reason.

Still think 250 is the right price for a vita. Even with the lack of new games coming out, the few that are out imo were better then the ones that launched with the 3DS. But this month the Vita is going to be getting major releases such as resistance, mortal kombat, and I think LBP too? It looks like its already gonna pick up, just these last 2 months have been brutal because I pretty much played through the launch games already.
