Wow those are some poor Xbox numbers.. Ps3 and 3ds OK, but not great either. Vita still needs some killer app games and the holiday season should be kinder to it. I still don't think it needs a price cut. Bundle in a memory card and that should help.


are you having a laugh?  

The PSV needs... a bundled memory card sure... but it needs that along with some games people actually want and along with a price cut.

The price cut is essential.. I really dont understand why people cant/wont see this.

If the sales continue like this then developers will be abandoning it in droves by the end of the year.  it is doing spectaculalry badly when compared with just about everything.

Yes hence why I said it needs some killer apps as well as a bundled memory card. Of course a price cut would be nice, but can Sony afford that right now? It also isn't good PR to cut the price so early into the consoles life cycle especially when they have reinforced that there will not be a price cut any time soon. Owners of a vita, including myself, wouldn't be too satisfied either considering they paid a premium. Right now profitability is more important than increasing market share. 

All I think they need to do is keep a steady flow of quality games coming and keep adding features like ps1 classics, new apps etc, alongside good value bundles including a memory card and game. The Assasins creed bundle as an example would be a good start, but also a call of duty bundle is very important during the holidays.
