| Zim said: New Year in Japan isn't really like in China at all. It's just New Years is a national holiday and many companies take extra days vacations around then, big sales go on etc. The company I used to work at was completely shut from I think it was the 29th of December to the 3rd of January. It varies from company to company though. So basically you have a load of people with time off, loads of sales which results in big sales for lots of industries. jonnybmk I don't know if you were addressing that to me as I can't really imagine who else you were talking to. My point was that the Vita is selling badly and will do so until it gets either a hefty price cut bigger than the unofficial ones or gets some big hitting titles. It seems as though this year there may be one moderately big title (usually I would say a FF-X remake was big but it's also out on PS3 so won't really motivate people to get a vita) and a price cut is very unlikely. This paints an incredibly bleak picture for the Vita's sales in Japan for the entire year. Without big titles or a price cut it isn't going to sell and so far it seems like neither of those things will happen this year. An entire year of bad sales would be devasting for Sony but I don't see how they can do anything about it =/ |
Don't individuals (namely kids) receive money similar to Chinese customs of New Year? Also thanks for information, I just know New Years = Sales boost in Japan.
