He was talking about Playstation, not Sony as a whole.
But you're right, Vita desperate needs a price cut, but Sony just can't take that big of a hit right now. So they HAVE to offer value with stuff like Playstation Plus. With the 3DS, Nintendo saw that consumers didn't see it was worth the $250......so they cut the price. Sony's only option to is to convince people that the Vita is worth those $250. At least until the first Vita redesign which will probably come with a price cut.
Funny Fact: The 3DS sold about 3.5 million at full price.($250) while the Vita is at about the same with 3.7m.(but took much longer to reach this figure)
But the Vita was taking a loss since Day 1...the 3DS was profitable if I'm not mistaken.
Hope this sheds some light on why the Vita is "flopping" and why Sony hasn't been able to turn things around.
