Wait, cutting prices on items increases sales? Oh my god... mind blown.

Has he not heard of PSM? It sure is small but it grows rapidly. Just the other day I downloaded two free games from it.

yea he's a real genius, but it still won't sell like 3ds. at a $199 price point i could see a significant sales increase. maybe 30-90% of wht 3ds sells.

sony already know when they're going to cut the price. they want the vita to be around for a while so they got to space out the price cuts.

Astounding insight, only an analyst could have provided such a deep and profound revelation to the ignorant masses.

Isn't that the credo of the Nintendo fans in here? Up until the Wii's price was cut, that is.

Well, that too. I don't know what they should do anymore.

Funny thing is if they do slash prices, itll offset whatever profit PS3 is making now. Double edge sword thingy.

I wish I got paid to make 'analyst' statements like this. Doubt there would be much work if this was all I had to come up with, though.

I agree except for the bolded. The 3G model is the one that should stay, it is required for the pinpoint geolocationing. The Wifi only version should be annexed, yet the price should still drop to the same. 3G isn't really costing them that much, its like another 10$ at best. Supposedly the Vita is making an avg $60-90 per console sold. I think at 199 standard(only 20 dollars more than 3DS) Vita will do just fine. The also should have NEVER made that exclusive deal with AT&T, the 3G plan is complete rip off at what it is priced at now. I paid the 30dollar fee and ran out within 3 days.
