Anyone else think the Vita could be saved in EU if Sony tried? Look at how the PSP is still selling... Obviously it's half the price of the Vita, but that's the point, with more marketing and discounts it could go up
My country is small but Playstation has a huge presence, and national Sony division seems to be doing a good job with it as the current bestsellers on one of the biggest chains right now is:
#1 - PSP at 85€
#2 - Vita + 5 games
#3 - PS4 + TLOU
But if this is only done on the really small countries and not the bigger ones then it won't matter much. Unless it's being undertracked in EU already

Yeah I think it could still do well in Europe if Sony really went for it. Drop the price some more (or give free memory card with it) and maybe even take the PSP off the market to force people to get the Vita instead. Then bring the games and the people will come.

Great many people in Croatia bought a Vita last year when they had Killzone + 8GB memory card for €169. People were extatic, and Vita hype was huge, and it was a 2way street with the PS4 pre-launch hype.

A lot of them bought Tearaway then, many more bundles were sold.

Since......now you can buy those Vitas w/ memory card for under €100. And people still struggle to sell them.

All Sony needed was a decent game every 2-3 months, and sales would have been great. Unfortunately, now that Uncharted and Gravity Rush have been removed from IGC, people have even less incentive to purchase it.
