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...

Why you would think Vita has to outsell 3DS in order to be successful is beyond me....

PSP sold 70million units. It may have been 1/2 to 1/3rd of DS's sold but it was a really good number. The PSP remained profitable for majority of its time selling, and is the only handheld to come out alive from going toe to toe with Nintendo's pedigreed handheld series.

Vita just needs to be profitable for Sony, that is all they care about right now, as they should. Yes, the number of units sold will affect 3rd party support. Still doesn't mean it has to sell 3DS numbers just to get them.
