There won't be any price cut this year guys. Sony as a whole simply cannot afford it (in case of the PS3, other Sony departements were doing well enough to compensate for the huge PS3 losses, now those departements are causing the huge losses).

Sony prefers a weak selling Vita that is profiting over a good selling Vita causing losses. Maybe there'll be a price cut at the end of 2013.

Zero chances of not happening.

How can you explain 10 million vitas sold then?

 

Either they meant PSP and PSV, which I doubt, or they completely overestimated its selling power. Probably the latter. At launch, I expected 6.5mil this year, and 14mil for the 3DS. The 3DS one still stands, but I've adjusted the Vita one down to 5mil. I think everyone has been taken a bit by surprise at its lack of sales, despite its overall quality.
