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

Most likely just people checking out game stores and then seeing the new price drop already at those stores. Or they've heard about the price cut (it was shown in last weeks Famitsu magazine) went to the store to check out games and saw that the price had already been lowered and picked one up. 

I heard about the price cut as I visit game forums like these. When I was checking out games I saw that the price had already been reduced (eventhough the official drop day is 2/28). If I had been interested in Vita then I would have picked one up then.
