I hope LBP Vita has insane replay value because I just cancelled all preorders after that. I just can't justify to drop 45€ per game on a dying system and rather wait 2-3 months and pick up the games I want for 20€ or less.

Plenty of people are not willing to pay full price for a videogame when it releases unless it's really special (I'm one of those people!)  It just makes no sense unless you're incredibly hyped for it to not wait 1 month and have £10+ knocked off the price.

What does that have to do with how well the Vita is doing, though?  If you're hyped for a game you're hyped for a game, regardless of how many other people are buying the system.

It doesn't matter if I am hyped about a game or not. I am hyped about more games than I can play anyway. It just makes sense for me to buy only those games full price that will not drop in price for a long time. With this way of thinking Nintendo games go to the top of the list by default. I wanted to wait for a Donkey Kong Country Returns price drop until I get it and here I am, almost 2 years later, still haven't played the game and it's still sold for full price everywhere. I am looking forward to play Assassins Creed Liberation and Soul Sacrifice but as it looks right now, I can easily pick these games up 3 months after launch for a good discount. Right now I'm even considering to hold off on all vita purchases until next years summer drought. Games should be really cheap by then.
