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.
|
It's funny because games like Cod probably have younger gamers on average than Mario games.
|
True I have seen parents purchase them for kids between 8-10 years old
|
No parent will just go to the store and buy COD for their kid unless their kid asked for it.
Parents usually buy Nintendo products for their kids unless they are told otherwise. Parents know Nintendo is family friendly.
ESRB
E - For Everyone. These are the only games that are "safe" for kids and are free of nudity, violence and sexual content. These are for made for kids although anyone can enjoy these games.
T - For Teens. Tend to be violent and have some sexual content.
M - Can be very gory, have lots of blood and violence. Nudity is also becoming really common this gen.
