I think is better for Sony to released new colors of psvita and new gamesbefore doing a price cut.

That would be logical. Too bad they probably won't. (If they did they should release games along side the new colors and a price drop.)

why are Vita sales so bad in Japan, I know people are saying it doesn't have games, but is that for real? No game at all? Or what's going on?

Also, nice to see Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports there

I don't even understand how it got to this point. Last year it seemed like Vita was gonna have a great launch lineup & a good price for what it was.

So then what happened? I'm looking in Amazon and maybe it needs more exclusives as I see many games are also for PS3 and Xbox360. I really would like to know what's going on cause I've been disconected from Vita news.

It's quite simple: price and japanese inclined games.

3DS has a major advantage in both aspects over Vita. So does PSP.

But this was known for a long time, and few things were made to secure a huge game. And Sony probably over-trusted their initial line-up too much.

Ok thanks, so it really is about lack of games, more games and a price cut could do the trick then, after all the same happened with the 3DS.

Damn Vita is doing worse than the PS3; and it's a handheld! Even I'm probably buying a 3ds, and this is soming from a sony fanboy...

you have commited treason against Vita under articel 44544. you will face death by firing squad, and never have a chance (while playing 3DS) to buy a (just switched to playing Vita) 3DS.

 

the other guy is a Ninty fan supporting Vita. we do not discriminate!!!

Maybe you should read Rol's comment.

Of course every handheld with a good price and good games could get many sales.

But there are not the slightest blink of game for the Vita on the horizon that would have an impact like Mario Kart 7, Super Mario Land or even Resident Evil:Revelations. And Sony is in a serious financial crisis and has not the money for a price cut. 



At least its still outselling the Wii. It's not dead yet.
