The Vita price has been already reduced days before the official price cut in Japan. This is why the sales are up.

Actually, retailers have been selling it for the reduced price since January. Retailers have been simply cutting out their portion of the profit on the console to sell for less. So, unless you are actually in Japan, and can confirm that they are already selling it for even less (now creating costs), I'm just going to assume this was a hollow statement.

Forgive me if you DO live in japan though.

Many stores have dropped the price already since the announcement last week. The "official" price cut isn't until today, but you could buy it at the new price at pretty much all of the stores I went to this past week.

 

So, the sales are due to mouth power, because you cant possibly know the price cut is effective in some stores which didnt wait for the official date
