i dont know the japanese market very well, but i honestly think those predictions are too high, i hope im wrong though.

the avarage week prediction i agree with though

I fear as much as well, but looking at the games coming out and what the 3DS price cut did, I thought "Heck, why not, just for this once, be optimistic?"

We shall know soon enough.

the difference is that the 3DS had just released it was what 6 months old? it was still really new on the market and then all of a sudden it had third of its price slashed. vita on the other hand is about a years and 3 months old in japan and the 3DS is really doing beastly numbers. back then the 3DS didnt have any comptition, now vita is going up to a handheld that has most weeks above 50% of tottal hardware marketshare

There's only a one month difference between the two price cuts, but Conegamer is predicting way too high. 

Ok, the 3DS price was annouced on July 28th, 2011, it was it was actually more like 5 months after launch. Another thing was the 3DS had sold  4.32 million units at that point, and Vita is 4.2 million now, so is there something about the 4 million mark that companies like to cut the price of thier hardware?

Most probably the producers of some expensive components accept to drop price for the first time by a significant amount after they sold roughly that number of components to the producers of finished products, in this case portable consoles.
