Sony pretty much confirmed a price cut in 2013. Soooooo.... |
But the questions "How much" and "When" are still very important ...
It wouldn't be out of character for Sony to drop the price of the 3G PS-Vita to $249 and discontinue the Wifi model and call that a "price cut" but I doubt that would have much of a positive effect on sales; especially if they wait until late in the year when third party publishers are speaking out about how awful PS-Vita sales have been.
In contrast, early in the year Sony could agressively cut the price of the Wifi model to $179 and bundle a memory card resulting in a significant increase in sales.

More like discontinue the 3G and cut wifi to $199. 3G isnt selling at all apparantly. But yes, the "when" is very important. If they wait for the holidays 2013, it could be too little too late.

3G isn't selling well because it is $50 more. The added production cost of 3g is insignificant. The only reason there are two models is to create a higher profit margin on the product by limiting a feature. If anything Sony will stop making wifi only models, give everyone the 3G option and cut the price down to $199.
