People didn't want 3DS at $250, why would they want Vita at $300, says dev

GN Version 4.0
"If people aren't willing to pay $249 for a Nintendo 3DS why would they pay $299 for Vita? People don't want to carry more than one thing in their pocket, that’s why Android and iPhone have done so well, they are the devices of choice, they offers multiple functions outside of gaming. People don’t want it. That's Nintendo huge challenge - how do they add value to that?" - Lyle Hall and Matthew Seymour at Heavy Iron Studios
Later on in the interview we hear one of the devs ask why someone would buy a device that just plays games. I don't know about you, but I like to buy game devices because...they play games.
