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.



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?

Lack of advertising from Sony and overall it's doing pretty poor in the states.

You might as well tell me. I'm guessing it was a pretty big jump.

(EDIT: Lol. Definitely a big jump. Wow.)

Here is 3ds results

13k ⇒ Week Prior To Price Cut (Aug 6th)
51k ⇒ Week With Price Cut, only 2days of sales (Aug 13th)
94k ⇒ Full week of sales after Price Cut(Aug 20th)

No software at all during this time, only must have game LoZ OoT which came out 2 months before price cut!

21,895

Around 12K.

Selling less than 20k after a 50 dollar price drop won't be a good look for Sony. I'm changing mine from 17k to 24.7k.

I was already predicting a second wind for Vita and that's not gonna happen at 17k and I'll be damned if I agree with Pachter (saying Vita is doomed).
