its funny that when comparing vita sales to 3ds sales, nintendo fans are much quicker to say 3ds sales were horrible. it wasnt long ago when they were sayong the same thing i am "it's not that bad relatively to something else". perspective seems to be an easily lost quality over time. for reference, i was one saying 3ds sales weren't so bad given the circumstances.
look this isn't a celebration but an analysis.

i asked myself "it would be bad for sony to drop price before it sales-wise matched the 3ds. so i looked it up and it already met it.
coupled with the non-coincidental matching of 3ds price drop on amazon sale (very similar a"ambassador" program with "instant collection") shows that sony is likely lookingbat the same conclusions im drawing, and that pricedrop was a testing phase. 199 seems like the most intuitive pricing in the upcoming spring with matching software releases.
