Doesn't this always happen when a new console comes out? Even if it doesn't, you guys should've been prepared for this.


No

What are you saying no to?

Im going to invest in the next couple weeks before e3.

That could pay off very well, unless they have another "$599" moment.


Isn't that exactly what they did with the Vita's price? Seriously, they repeated all of the mistakes of the PSP and PS3 with the Vita. Talk about concentrated failure.

It was heralded as amazing price!

The problem, once again, is that it is early, and the games aren't out yet, and the really desirable games have not yet been announced...because Capcom, is a piece of shit.

I love your faith in Sony's first party games. They aren't even up for consideration in this thought process.

haha well yaknow.

I have to say that there is at least two first party games I'm excited for, Gravity Rush, and Soul Sacrifice...

...But MH sells systems.

^Additionally which really desirable games have not been announced yet? lol. And if they are announced they will most likely not be exclusive to Vita, which will ultimately not result in any meaningful effect on Vita's current situation. Which is one of Vita's biggest issues-competing with home consoles.

Sony is in a very precarious state right now, if Nintendo doesn't f* up with their new system, or M$ decides to force Sony's hand further by releasing a new console earlier Sony could see further misfortune.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

This is the same debate I had with vicviper. A MH on vita will outsell the same MH on 3ds. It would probably sell a million vitas on its own over a period of time, just from being announced. The problem is that people don't think it is coming out for vita, so they're holding their purchase.

We're just going to have to wait and see, because I'm not going to get in another debate about what could happen.

I don't know why journalists and hardcore gamers consider the Vita's price to be amazing. The only thing amazing about it is how expensive the damn thing is. I adore my PSP, it's my favorite handheld ever, but the Vita is way too expensive for me.

no one expected Nintendo's panic price cut, they saw at that time a $250 Vita vs a $250 3DS which would have had more than the potential to outsell the 3DS WW, especially in the west, which would have hurt Nintendo far more than it would have helped Sony hence the painc price cut, it not only boosted 3DS sales it devauled the Vita

If both handhelds had ridiculously high price points I simply would have purchased neither and I'm certainly not the only one. Nintendo may have blundered but that's no excuse for the utter lack of market research being conducted by Sony. Additionally, this does not take the outrageous decisions concerning the Vita's memory card format and pricing into account.
