vita and xbox numbers need to start picking up

I think that people here in the west do not give the Japanese people enough credit. They got burned last year overspending for a system that would be 10K Y cheaper in 6 months, I don't think many early adopters are willing to go down the same road again.

SDF was quite hilarious at times.  mean and tollish but we all know how i love that so.

...but i can't help feel a bit depressed about vita sales.  well, depressed isn't the right world 'cause i don't get emotional over these things but i'm avoiding buying the vita at this point even though it has far more games i want to play.  at this point i just don't have confidence sony will still be around in 3 years...

See everytime someone says something like this, it makes me think Nintendo planned every move from the start. Like a very bad but brilliant chess game, where Nintendo offers the queen up randomly. 

This is also a very valid point.

Costumers are not stupid, they saw 3DS getting very cheap very fast, the may be expecting the same for Vita.

Could they really be that ingenious? The more I watch Nintendo, the more I'm beginning to think it's possible.

Then again the more Ialso think they're dull as tools so it goes both ways...

One thing is for sure is that the 3DS' original pricepoint is either the biggest presumption (stupidity) or the most incredible move we've seen in the industry. Both are likely.

it is true

Vita is relatively expensive with almost no games

people are probably waiting for a price cut, but Sony has to announce a system seller soon enough

I just had major déjàvu o O

I've seen this statement a lot on most major video game sites. If it's that plainly obvious that a Monster Hunter game is the salvation of the Vita, then Sony must be really stupid to not have persued a MH game.

If they did but failed to make it happen, then the Vita will be on vitasupport for a very long time.

Either way, I plan on getting a Vita after its price drop just for Uncharted.

lulz at psv getting a price cut any time soon.  nintendo had room to breath with the 3DS, sony does not.   even less after the recent financials...  at this point if sales continue to flounder it will probably be cheaper for sony to leave the market then to offer a price cut.
