"Along with great titles, the PS Vita seem to be having a fire sale this holiday slashing the systems price to $199"
It's not a fire sale, it's a Black Friday sale. There's a huge difference.
Can Vita reach 5million sales by the end of the year? It would need to sell 1.8million more......I'd say that's impossible. TBH, it would be lucky to reach 4million.
I've been seeing lots of Vita ads everywhere though. As I'm typing this there's a Vita $199 Black Friday ad on this site! Sony is definitely trying. I don't think we should consider Assassin's Creed or Black Ops Declassified failures yet, the bulk of their sales will be made during the next month. Maybe the $199 price point could become permanent if Sony sees it makes a huge difference.
One thing is for sure though, VITA WILL NOT BE DISCONTINUED. As little as it is selling, it is selling.....I'd say worst case scenario, the Vita becomes a purely digital device within the next few years. |
With Sony's financial situation I wouldn't be too sure about it. The Vita is bleeding $$ at the moment and Sony is doing it's best for the system. It could only do so much until they realize the it would be a futile effort and move on; regardless of what the fans want the system must become profitable in order to be allocated funds!!!

Vita is not bleeding money. If anything, Sony is making a small loss on each Vita. I'd say it'll be profitable by next Christmas at $250.
