No, they've just denied licenses to companies that wanted to make those games and had an unattractive platform, so it didn't matter.

Do you not remember the uproar over the Wii's, what, 2 M games?

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Yeah, but how family-sanitized is the game, being on a Nintendo system?

I might just pass on it.

It's a real leather fedora. It cost me quite a bit of money.

And it looks fantastic, and I care for it well.

Speaking of which, *puts leather treatment stuff on his shopping list*

Oh, okay. So in the 50's, when middle school kids had rifle range as part of Physical Education, they totally were huddled in the corners out of mortal fear, right?

No, because they were a normal part of life, and not fear-mongered.

There were so very many mass-shootings in those rifle range classes, yes?

No, because…

Which means the culture needs to be less afraid of firearms. It's an irrational fear that's been created en masse by anti-gun activists when they are just tools.

They weren't 'trying to look badass', they were exercising Open Carry rights to prove a point that everyone freaks out.

So, they hired Robot Chicken?

Because if so, I tip my fedora to you, Nintendo.

Haven't done that in a while.

I'm not going to, as I live pretty far from Maple Syrup Populism Land.

But my example stands. No system is imporous.

*Can* not *Will Always*.

I would loooove to show Poison the other side of the collar.

Yeah, you "have" to, but most people don't. And it's not like there's guard dogs patrolling the whole Northern border.

Oh, okay. So, they should just charge an exactly equivalent amount to Yen, even if that allows US customers to drive ten minutes, buy 20 for cheaper, sell them at full price, and make a profit?

Sounds legit.

The value of the US Dollar is stronger than the Canadian Dollar. That means people whose wages are paid in USD will always be able to buy stuff cheaper in Canada.

Which is probably also why the Canadian price point is higher comparably, to reduce importing from Americans buying in Canada.

It says "Only on Playstation" at the end of the trailer.

They want enough of your money [with its current value] to be worth it, and they don't seem to see a point in lowering that amount at the moment.

Which you can probably blame on currency value, rather than them, if other people got a drop and CN didn't.

Interesting. They didn't show the right side of the console in the conference.

Now I have more questions than answers about their potential dickbag-ish-ness.

It honestly will all come down to three things:

Yeah, I just checked the image for this article. Take a look above - same set of ports.

The dickbagish move wouldn't be to rip out Vita compatibility, it'd be to force it download only, instead of accepting physical carts, by removing the slot. That would sell a shit ton of memory cards to suckers.

It seems they didn't…

Yeah, this is speculation, but I followed the Vita TV closely, and it is the exact same shell - there's no change that I can tell. On the Vita TV, you had to remove something IIRC to put in memory cards, so that front slot next to the power button should be for Vita games, unless they turned dickbag and removed it.

They…

It is the PS Vita TV rebranded and renamed for Western audiences.

The bonus game is a downloadable copy of a game with PS VITA written
in big letters on the case image, and it uses Vita memory cards, and has the same
Vita card input for hard copy Vita games right there on the hardware.

I'm planning to get one, too! I can…
