Apple has announced a $100 iPhone 5 and Sony has recently created a $199 PS Vita. Could these hurt the 3DS sales-wise? Could the Vita TV have any effect? What are your thoughts on the recent unveiling of competitively priced technology?
No. First of all, the iPhone does not compete with a dedicated gaming platform. Second of all, nothing wrong with competition. Vita TV's success should only guarantee that Nintendo steps up their game. Fierce competition benefits all. People who want what Nintendo is bringing will buy the 3DS and people who want what Sony is bringing will buy the Vita. And they will bring out the greatness in each other as they compete for our money and attention.
Pokemon X/Y is expected to be the highest selling handheld game of all time with huge monstrous worldwide sales.... NONE of those other platforms has a single game that will compare to the sales of PK X/Y. The Vita has some good games but it doesn't have Pokemon.
I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

No. The 3DS and iPhone are separate markets unlike what the "experts" suggest. The cheaper price may actually help the 3DS because consumers can now afford both products.
The Vita TV is not a handheld, so no it won't hurt either. The revision is a little late because the 3DS already has a strong foothold in Japan already. The 3DS will never fear the Vita.

Nope, nope and nope. iPhone 5c is a joke. Nobody buys a new expensive iPhone model just so it'll look shiny. People don't need a new one of these unless they broke their phones. And iOS7 will be available for all iPhones so it's not like anyone's missing out.
PS Vita TV won't come out until next year, when the PS4 has launched. That's certain. Also, the new PS Vita model isn't even confirmed for anywhere out Japan.
Don't see why people worry about 3DS sales when other stuff comes out. The 3DS is selling great.

Brand recognition and excellent marketing. Apple has finally been outclassed with both the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One.
