It's time for $149.99 XBox 360 and $199.99 PS3, way, way overdue.

3DS finally shows good year over year improvement for a month this year. Animal Crossing bundle + release obviously drove it. 3DS will never be the monster the DS or GBA (first two years) was in the West most likely, but these sales are solid. If North America and Europe can chip in enough so that the Nintendo can ship 11-13 million a year reliably, they'll be relatively happy with that I think.

Wii U and Vita are just sad. Wii U has some hope this year, Vita is just gassed IMO. A price drop would cause a temporary uptick in North America but that's about it.

I agree they are overdue but I dont see it happening this year. Still alot of high profile games coming this year, GTA, COD, AC4, Watch Dogs, BF4 plus holiday deals/bundles and wanting to get as much profit as possible. I think next spring is when they will drop.
