Sony’s PlayStation Vita is ‘too expensive’ for the most consumers, reckons Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter.
Chatting with the folks at VG247, Pachter also suggested that PS Vita’s software library is in need of a boost, and doesn’t see sales picking up until more games are released.
“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 games,” he continued, stating software levels are still relatively low, “so sales will probably be slow until we see more content.”
Elsewhere, he also took a swipe at Nintendo’s 3DS, suggesting the new XL model is unlikely to stimulate "weak" sales of the handheld.
PS Vita was released in Japan last December, and arrived in the U.S. and Europe in February 2012.
