And that means I said vita was a success? And if it doesn't then I'm simply a troll? Maybe you should read exactly what is written instead of reading too deeply into things. Vita outlasted 3ds. I'm saying Vita is not a failure, given that 3ds had an earlier price cut and is fine. I don't think the logic is too hard to follow. |
I understand your logic and can see that your OP wasn't trolling (despite seeming like it at first glance). I understand, the Vita did not "need" a pricecut.
But as pezus and I said, it all depends on the company's goals and options. Nintendo had a much higher goal and set the measure to achieve it. Had they not had that goal, there would not have been a pricecut and their sales trends would have yet surpassed the Vita's, at a higher price (50$ no less: 250$ for 3DS vs 200$ for Vita).
Then, we have Rol's post that shows that the Vita, at that price, performed below Sony's expectations. Moreover, it's not clear Sony even had the option to reach their initial goal, if they could afford the loss-leading measure.
I mean, you can look at it with rose-tinted glasses, but the facts are in front of us.
