You cany say E3 isnt gonna save Vita, everyone said the same for 3DS 1 year ago and now its almost at 20M so shut up.


1. price cut

2. the Vita is already a long way behind where even the 3DS was

3. dont tell people to shut up.


1. Vita won't get a price cut if Sony wants to be profitable.

2.  Of course it is. It's up against a Nintendo handheld. It will never catch up but it will pick up steam after E3.

3. Freedom of Speech. Ever heard of it?

It's funny to see people going like "the VITA is just fine, just look at the 3DS" when a lot of people where saying "OMG the 3DS is thez doomz" when it was a a better position that VITA is rite now....

Funny


Who said that?

Speaking for myself, I never expected a Sony handheld to outsell a Nintendo handheld, especially not after the Nintendo one has been settled into the market.

E3 is gonna be so important for Sony this year. It really needs to blow us away with the vita announcements. 3rd parties need to show strong support and sonys first party studios need to fire. It's a shame it's really not selling well because I own a vita and it's fantastic, people just don't realise that and still seem to think its just an updated psp. Sony just haven't marketed the thing correctly.

I don't think there's any way Sony will cut the price. Right now they have to focus on keeping the vita profitable rather than trying to compete with the 3ds and gain market share. All I think they'll do is bundle memory cards.


In the West... ONLY a price cut can save the Vita, but as you say that would be commercially unviable. (never stopped sony before though)

No. Games are much more important.

I know I'm not even considering buying a Vita until they get some games announced for it.(for this year) have you looked at the release schedule for Vita this year? It's barren.

The thing is, I believe that- even as a Nintendo fan- that the library of Vita games available atm is better than what the 3DS had at the same moment in time. In a way, that makes the situation worse though, I guess

Usually I would disagree with your first sentence, but you really turned your post around with the second sentence. That's admirably fine and sneaky stealth trolling.

Hey now, that's not how I roll :( I was just telling the truth

 first guy says "shut up", second says he shouldn't say this and the third says it's freedom of speech to say someone he shouldn't use his freedom of speech.

THAT IS JUST AWESOME

for what i know Psp never sold much games anyway.

@Argh_College The best PSP game I ever played(and was interested in) was Birth By Sleep. Other games don't suit it for me. If I was to buy a PSP now, then most of the retail games would be gone(mostly because I shop at Gamestop and Walmart). And I don't know about buying stuff of the PSN because some of the "best" games are not there, espeically Birth By Sleep.

there is almost no games over here selling for Psp, not even much for Vita.
