The Vita does not need a price cut. It's new and price cuts are not needed for hardware that is as great as the Vita is.

What it needs is great software. A full fledged Uncharted at launch was great. Since then it's been port city for the system and that doesn't help any platform sell systems. It just doesn't happen.

Gravity Rush and Resistance: Burning Skies will help, but more games need to be coming out. Following the release of the system Sony needed to have Gravity Rush and Resistance: Burning Skies coming in month 2. Sports games don't have the system selling power like they might have once had, especially not a baseball game.

Call of Duty Vita, Assassin's Creed Vita, Killzone Vita and Bioshock are all great to have building hype later on down the pipeline. But Sony needs to add real multiplayer to Uncharted: Golden Abyss. As a matter of fact the game should have had multiplayer built in. The treasure maps are cool, but that isn't a tool to have people coming back to the game 3+ months after release.

Simply put the Vita should not be going through the drought it currently is going through. Once again Sony failed a system. The system hasn't failed Sony. Sony's hardware never fails them, but they find a way to make the system falter through no fault of it's own.

Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, Call of Duty, Battlefield, God of War, Killzone, Gran Turismo, Bioshock and Grand Theft Auto....these are titles that will sell the platform at it's current price point. These are the franchises that will get people to buy the system at $249 and $299. Before any real information about Vita games were out in the open people were loving the price tags Sony had on the system.

It needs games. Vita games!
