He's probably right, but Basic models always have the stigma of being a "basic" model. No one wants an inferior product. A Deluxe model for $299 may actually sell much better than a Basic at the same price. But I agree that games are needed more than a price drop, especially with other next gen systems being $100-200 more expensive already.

However, the Vita's basic model outsells the deluxe model by a wide margin.

When I here Vita Wifi or 3G, I'm honestly not sure which one is the better model without looking into it.  Once I do, I realise that 3G is nothing I need.  On the flip side, "Basic" and "Deluxe" are very clear about what is better, and more storage, a game, 10% of digital purchases and a nice black colour are clear advantages for $50.
