So far, it's speculation those games will make Vita's hardware sales explode.

BTW... speaking of western game sales, the dreamcast had some number 1 games in NPD and several number 3 (since back then 3 was number 1 due to the ever present number 1 and 2 Pokémon Red and Blue - for more than 1 year). Crazy Taxi, NFL/NBA 2K, Sonic Adventure were all big hits. I know that because EGM posted sales charts back then) That too wasn't enough to save it.

Price cut is very necessary, imo. Believe it or not, I think it's coming this holiday.

I don't think Sony will cut Vita's price soon. They rely on the gaming division (among others) to put good results to help the whole Co., something shown with the prices of the new PS3. Given that some reports say that Sony is already losing money on each Vita while others say that it's making a very small profit, if they cut Vita's price they lose money on each unit, and that woud go against their goal.

 

Personally I think that it will reach those 20m and more. It's too early to call it a failure. That said, if after Christmas 2013 the situation hasn't improved, 3rd parties may start to stop supporting it.
