18k. Why on Earth would someone sitting on the fence rush out to get one when there's been deeper cuts before, with no new software to accompany the cut?



i thought of that, there have been plenty of price cuts, especially in europe right?

Yes, the cut is down to £180 but you could find it easily for £150. 

Irrelevant. This price drop will allow retailers even greater flexibility for their price drops. So whatever discount you were able to get before, you'll get a better discount now.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Gonna be pessimistic since only price cut and not a new model (so no rebuys):

10k :(

wow :0 That'll mean vita is in worse shape than Dreamcast if it only musters 10k

It is at about 9k now so doubling should be fine, so 18.5k.

Not sure how well advertised this price cut will be and not sure how much impact it will have short term...

I'm expecting only around 19K in USA, but I really hope I am wrong.

20k at absolute most. I'm expecting around 15k.

It needs a big price cut on memory too, bigger than the one they actually did. And more big marquee titles at retail instead of just indies, which I doubt will be enough to hook even the core community at large.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

:D

why most of everybody expecting low? Its a price cut, japan had an increase from 5k to 60k after price cut, i know a game came out then 2 major ones week after but still, US has to do at least 25k imo. Killzone+rayman should push around 45k-50k that week. Guess its just me but i think under 20k after a major price cut wont look good. Europe not to sure about though?
