Legendary Nintendo developer, Shigeru Miyamoto, recently chimed in on the competition’s newly released PlayStation Vita. Â In a recent interview with Edge Magazine, the creator of the Super Mario Bros. franchise explains why the PS Vita is off to a rough start.
“It’s obviously a very high-spec machine and you can do lots of things with it, but I don’t really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product. Â But I can’t really say. Â I’m not looking at the Vita as happy that it’s not selling well, or scared that it would sell well.”

More recently, Mortal Kombat was released on the handheld. Â A great game, Â definitely not a system seller though. Â Many are still calling for Sony to slash the price of the PS Vita, to get the same effect on sales as Nintendo did with the 3DS. Â A preemptive measure that alongside with some major first party release, bolstered sales for the system for the all-important holiday season.
