It still is quite a sight for a hyped system's second week, is it not? Ah, well, let's see how PSP's coexistence with the Vita continues to play out.

Its never going to happen.

And the 3DS/PS3 weren't hyped?

What is the default price of new games for the 3DS and Vita? $50?

I dont think Final Fantasy XIII-2s second weeks sales are that bad. The first game went from 1.46 million to 180k. So this one didnt have nearly as big a drop as that, its the 4th best selling PS3 game in Japan in only 2 weeks.

If XIII-2 had the same legs as the first it would have life time sales of around 690k and its already at 640k, so its gonna have much better legs than the first. Depends how it does from now on.

How do you know?

The dramatic 3DS price cut happened after the official launch price of Vita was announced and many people got worried Vita would be considered too expensive and here we have relatively week launch sales. I think it's inevitable.

The only reason the 3DS got a price cut was because Nintendo overpriced it at launch. They were being kinda greedy.

But Sony had said that they are taking a loss on Vita, so there is no room for a price cut. Yes, it is expensive compared to the 3DS but there's a reason for that. Its a much more powerful system. All the Vita needs now is a killer-app.

The weak launch sales are due to it launching too late in the holidays, and strong competition from the 3DS which is being marketed towards kids. The DS is already being phased out so the 3DS is essentially taking its place. Sony needs to start phashing out the PSP to increase Vita sales.

Wouldn't say it's inevitable, anyone calling it either way has no idea though, it really could go either way and neither situation should surprise people.

3DS was being sold for about as much more as they dropped the price, vita is being sold at cost or at a loss and the price won't drop until the manufacturing cost drops.

Because Sony have never dropped the price further on a product that is making a loss :-S
