Maybe the consumers learned from what happened to the 3DS and are forcing a price cut on Vita. |
Its never going to happen.

How do you know?
The dramatic 3DS price cut happened after the official launch price of Vita was announced and many people got worried Vita would be considered too expensive and here we have relatively week launch sales. I think it's inevitable.

The only reason the 3DS got a price cut was because Nintendo overpriced it at launch. They were being kinda greedy.
But Sony had said that they are taking a loss on Vita, so there is no room for a price cut. Yes, it is expensive compared to the 3DS but there's a reason for that. Its a much more powerful system. All the Vita needs now is a killer-app.
The weak launch sales are due to it launching too late in the holidays, and strong competition from the 3DS which is being marketed towards kids. The DS is already being phased out so the 3DS is essentially taking its place. Sony needs to start phashing out the PSP to increase Vita sales.

Why did you say that?
|
Nintendo is technically targeting children, how many Rated T and M games do you think Nintendo even make? Yes, even if a game is rated E which is for Everyone, it was originally created to appeal to the younger age. (Which isnt a bad thing, their making millions on that idea).
|
A game without massacres does not mean kids game. Hell I'm 52 and I enjoy Mario games because they are fun and very well made. My friends in my age group have a great time with cart. I would say they make games for everyone. Although I do love goldeneye and COD games as well as well as resident evil.
|
Its not about who can play it, the reason why people say Nintendo is targeting children is because they ARE targeting children, it is their main audience and they know that old fans who grew up as children while playing the games will still get attracted to it.
You have to remember Mario and all those other Nintendo franchises were originally targeting children and children make a huge fanbase in terms of sales as well even to this day, nobody can deny that.

You must be crazy to think Nintendo is trying just to target children. They TRY to appeal to everyone. Super Mario is heavily bought by older individuals and if I had to guess I would say the ratio between children and adults is about equal. So not only are the targetting children but teenagers, adults, and other casual people.
