Why all the downers? There was a poll in Japan recently where 68% said they want to buy a Vita this year. That alone was good news. This announcement of a price reduction and new games is just what the doctor ordered for more sales in Japan, so why are you not agreeing with this op?

Do you expect the 3DS to stop selling? It's nearly impossible for the Vita to come out on top at this point...

Who cares? Everyone knows the handheld market belongs to Nintendo, but Sony has to make some sort of return and they are firm on taking risk to make that happen by giving value. All the games on PSN Plus for free? Remakes $200 price point? New Killzone coming and Soul Sacrifice on the way? Seriously they've just added a ton of great additions and even I who was skeptical am finally going to break down this year. Sony doesnt need to beat Nintendo they just need to gain marketshare. Nintendo and Sony are the opposite of one another where handhelds are Nintendos primary market and consoles are Sonys primary market where they shine. You just cant keep their sales down in those areas.

You didn't read the article did you?

He asked "Why the downers" and the article basically asked for it!

There are downers because even in the face of change people refuse to see the good in their product will not allow it to happen. Sony is secondary in the handheld market but they are pushing forward regardless.
