spinefarm: To be honest 1000$ for Fiona will be very nice.... If the videos they show are true it is quite a tablet...the only thing I hate about it is the design... this pads looks awful...
And think about it... u gonna buy Vita/3DS for around 300 euro or you will buy handheld pc for 850?
MobiusArcher: Its not that I don't understand that Project Fiona looks awesome. Its not targeted at the same crowd as the 3DS/Vita is though. Im not trying to say that I think the Vita is going to be better or anything, because its not. Its way too expensive as just a handheld gaming system though, but that okay. Its not just a handheld gaming system. Its a tablet PC. People who are looking to buy a handheld gaming system aren't normally looking for tablet PCs though.
You also have to consider that Project Fiona doesn't get exclusive games. That's a big factor in why people buy handheld gaming systems. For the price of Project Fiona, you could get a desktop PC that's considerably more powerful.
These things all add up to make Project Fiona a rather niche product. Its unrealistic to think its going to come out on top of the handheld gaming market.
I get ur point about the price tag. But think about it - AC Revelations in ur hands... BF3 in ur hands... Will u still buy Vita? ;)
spinefarm: We are waiting for Razer's Project Fiona to come to market... If they put a reasonable price... we will see a new handheld king ;)
Slump: Unfortunately I've never seen Razor put a reasonable price on anything IMO.
Vita looks like it's shaping up to be an excellent platform. Doubt I'll ever get one but it seems like something my girlfriend would enjoy (she enjoys gaming on the go much more than I) especially for the Uncharted games. Be interesting to see the emulation abilities as well a few years down the road.
About Razer... besides their mouse pads/headphones .... Mouse and keyboards are reasonable priced for me. 100$ for a mouse is not that much if u work for 2500$ a month...
And about handheld gaming... yes I like exclusives too.. but to be honest i will not give 300 euro for a console to play 3-4 games... it's lame.
The big difference from Fiona & Vita/DS is the Windows part.... actually you will be able to use ur tablet like a normal 10" touchscreen pc ;) We will see when they start selling it. 1000$ for a i7 processor tablet is not that much(i7 processor is 300-400$)
