Let's face it, they didn't learn from the PS3 or 3DS debuts. At launch, the system cost too much to make, and too much for consumers too pay. PSP launched with the 'Core Pack' at $199, which is the sweet spot for handhelds. If Vita had done without certain unnecessary technical enhancements and launched at the same price, no one would be asking for a price drop because those people would own one by now. $50 can make or break a gaming system, and Sony's stubbornness has cost them dearly.
Oh wait, don't read this until after Christmas.
