| babuks said: I think Nintendo's price cut was 'panic' price cut. They are king of handhelds for generations, they did not need to reduce the price to sustain loss. They could just rely on $150 million DS fanbase alone. They did that only to save themselves from $250 vita price. Sony always does bundles, it's nothing new. I don't think they are 'panic' bundles. The panic would be to cut the price and sustain loss on every Vita sold. |
Nintendo cut the price because the 3DS was performing below expectations. So they admitted it and did what they had to do, which was a great move. As for "panic bundles"(which I was saying in response to Turkish being overly defensive), I said that to underscore my point that if Nintendo's price cut was considered panicking, then these bundles would have to be considered panicking too - given Vita's situation is FAR more dire than 3DS' ever was.
