Sony makes mobile gaming push with handheld Vita
23.05.12
Tretton acknowledges it won’t be an easy sell.
People have grown accustomed to playing games on handheld devices that also make phone calls, shoot videos, connect to the Internet, play songs and send text messages. The devices do practically everything but wash your socks.
Why buy a gadget that does only one thing?
“Ultimately, if you consider yourself a gamer, you are going to find yourself migrating up the food chain to dedicated gaming consoles and the Vita,’’ Tretton said.
Don’t tell that to Christian Thomas, a 20-year-old New York University student who tried out the Vita at a temporary lounge Sony set up to promote the system. At the “social club’’ in Manhattan’s trendy Lower East Side, players were able to try out Vita before it goes on sale.
“I don’t see myself carrying it around,’’ Thomas said, while playing “Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.’’ “I’m content just picking up `Bejeweled’ on my iPhone.’’
That’s even though he called the Vita beautiful and said it’s easily the best handheld gadget he’s played with.
