Vita is already awesome but people don't know it. Example, three of my friends have a PSP but none of them knows anything about Vita. I am  not calling it a failure or anything but if the holiday season passes like this I will start to get worried. I also think that without a significant price cut there will be difficult times ahead.


See I don't like this price cut view... I think if the 3DS didn't take a desperate machete to their price no one would really be expecting it for the Vita.  Alot of people got burned on the 3DS and I think most people are now expecting a price cut for PSVita.  Why? has this ever happened so quickly to any other games console in History?

I kind of think it has given the game industry a bad image.


You have a point, but Vita is really expensive at the moment. I am not saying it is overpriced, it is actually quite reasonably priced for what it is.  It has better internals then all of the smartphones yet its price is less than half of what they cost. This doesn't mean anything though. It is more expensive than a PS3 in a lot of places, who would buy a Vita over PS3? Then, you have to factor in the price of memory cards. They are seriously overpriced. They are slow, they don't offer more storage than standard SD cards yet they cost almost triple. So, I think the expectation of a price cut does not have to do much with 3DS. Vita is expensive as an overall package.

Also if I write what I think about 3DS price I would get banned lol. I purchased DS a few years ago for $50 thinking it was a great deal. After playing a few games I was like "that fucking guy ripped me off!". It still hurts.
