So Sony outprices themselves with the hardware, and it's something good that they can't cut the mrsp? I just can't understand that way of thinking. It can't be good that, selling less than 50% of what they intended to sell during the first year, they can't do anything regarding the mrsp to improve sales. Some of you try too hard to fool yourselves. |
"So Sony outprices themselves with the hardware, and it's something good that they can't cut the mrsp?"
just like the PS3 right?
business plan is what you have when you set up the product, and you pretty much go by that until you have to change it or its too late to do so, do you think Sony could account for Nintendo dropping the price of the Nintendo 3DS down to $169.99 4 months before the PSVita was to release?
i mean really? a Quad core A9 device, with the very same Quad core GPU that is in the iPad 2 with enhancements with a dedicated 128 MB of ram for the GPu vs outdated Arm 11 with 6 MB of Dedicated GPU ram that is in the 3DS yea, its the exact same thing.
TO expect that is in my opinion quite unreasonable.

Your memory fails you.
"just like PS3"
The PS3 had a 20% price cut quite quickly.
Launched Nov 2006, price cut June 2007. 7 months.
The Vita has been out for 12 months in Japan and 10 months elsewhere.
IMO the curent Vita "temporary" prices arent temporary.

NO it does not fail me, Sony is not going to cut the Price of the PSVita at this time because why would any company that spent the investment in their right mind, would cut the price on hardware to compete in a cost cutting measure to increase sales in a market that A: the system they would compete with is vastly cheaper to cut cost in than their system, and 2 when they have invested into the chipsets that are right now at a premium price vs Arm 11. its just freaking common sense. Market share be d@mned there is no way the investors would stand for that, since the hardware in the PSVita warrants a much higher price than the Nintendo 3DS.
Market share is one thing, competeing with a product that can be cut because of production cost's are much lower is not being very reasonable to be expected when Nintendo is seen as a more viavle product in this market over Sony's product's.

Investors have no say in the matter. Orelse investors would have already demanded Sony to stop its money lossing business in T.V.'s
Sony already cut the price and it will be not temporary as if it does, it will lose market share and momentum. Market share is very important as Sony loses money with the hardware and needs a larger install base as one it achieves that, a higher number of people will buy software which is profitable.
