Not to mention that the vita is now going against both Monster Hunters and Pokemon this year. A price cut will help but it needs better games before most people will buy it. Yes it has games but nothing that will sell it and we all know its true



You forgot Dragon Quest 7....... God.... :->


Oh yeah, i did forget about that.  People want to act like it's the price of the Vita and that is why its not selling well their is many more reasons.  The price hurts but its not the only thing.  The PSP hurt them profoundly with the lack good software.  It sold well at the beginning because it was the first powerful handheld and people trusted playstation at the time.  Now that Vita has lost its godchild or demigod with Monster Hunters it needs a new IP that can truly sell it.  Console like games are not enough.  



how about no more psp games? I mean make a little. Isnt japan selling nothing but psp games (handheld wise)? All i see on the COMG charts are 3 or 4 3DS, 6 or 7 PS3, and 7or 8 PSP! Now we finally see two vita games but is it enough

The PSP did well in Japan and a lot of that was because Monster Hunters.  Vita isn't getting the same treatment because they dont have any big games worth getting.  PSP baciacally failed outside of japan software wise.  You can blame that on piracy or the lack of support.  Im not saying it didnt have any games outside of japan, just not enough.  

I think the Vita will do fine but I dont think we should expect big numbers from it either like many people are hoping for.  If this thing takes off itll likely be a few years from now rather than this year, unless they have a BIG title plannedalong with a price cut. Not a good title, but a must have title. Sony needs to learn to adapt and restrategize or they will see themselves in trouble with the PS4 as well.  I know this site has a lot of sony supporters but people need to realize where they make mistakes rather than making excuses and making up things just to fit there personal ideas.  Not every niche game is a system seller.
