The Vita has sold much more slowly than the 3DS sold pre-price cut. It will take more than an $80 price cut to save the Vita, and frankly, Sony can't even afford that much.

First of all, Sony doesn't need to sell more than the 3ds. That's an unrealistic feat brought up by people like you. Sony isn't expecting or should expect to sell on the same level as nintendo. That market has been dominated by nintendo 20 years before the PSP came to being. Selling 80mil first try is mission accomplished for Sony even though Nintendo sold more.

Secondly, Vita needs as much asaving now as the Ps3 needed in 2006. In other words, none. It needs to sell and make money. Even with a small userbase Sony and 3rd parties can be profitable with the machine as long as they know the market and have reasonable expectations.

Sony = Microsoft
3DS = PS3
Nintendo = Sony
PSP = Xbox

--> you must be blown away that MS managed to achieve just that within 2 generations.


What the fuck are you talking about? MS doesn't even have a handheld because it would loose more money than the 360 did.

I figured out your code. However you are mistaken on so many levels.


I am saying that MS did achieve with home consoles what Sony failed to do in the handheld market.
Nobody expected them to beat (or tie with) Sony, because they ruled previous generations, when MS was not even on the market. 

You seem to have a problem to acknowledge that.

OT: I think the Vita is in a market and in situation where even a price cut would not boost sales sustainably.


Why was their a need to bring up microsoft consoles in this thread?  I usually don't say much to MSFT fans on this site simply because you guys are extremely out numbered but their is no need to bring stuff up like that.
