Shelf space in supermarkets is a very valuable asset and I'm sure Target don't want to waste a lot of shelf space on items consumers aren't interested in. Due to this, they're discounting them so they can have space for popular items like the iPad mini and Taylor Swifts new album during the holiday shopping season.

40% price cut and it is not even black friday yet...
This could be big in both directions.

Sony cutting the price by that much or retailers losing faith in the vita and reduce their stock


What? Did you read the OP? It's an online deal on the higher end launch bundle and only at Target. They're clearly just getting rid of old stock.

 

I said: retailer reduces stock.
you said: You are wrong. They just get rid of old stock!

So you agree with me then?

See that part I highlighted? That's bullshit.

yeah because retailers getting rid of stock literally WEEKS before the holiday season has nothing to do with losing faith.




Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Looks like it's out of stock, but that is a mighty fine deal. Wonder if it will reflect in sales figures next week; outside of the holiday boost of course?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

wow I'd buy one right now if I could.

Holiday sales kick in ~ Nov 1st every year.  4 days away, not weeks. Do you just have fun stretching the reality of a situation? The hell do you mean "retailers"? It's just Target (ONE retailer) doing an online deal on an old and expensive bundle from launch involving the least popular model of a system. Oh yea, this looks bad for the Vita.

On a side note, I find the idea of retailers losing faith in the Vita hilarious. How much faith did they have to begin with? I've yet to walk into a gamestop with more than half a few shelves for the system. Seriously.



4 ≈ One

You don't require that drastic of a price cut to clear out old stock. This positively wreaks of liquidation, and the chain writing the product off at a loss. This is exactly what the beginnings of a sell off would like. Sometimes a good deal is simply too good to be true. This should actually unnerve you as well informed gamers. You should be thinking this if the Vita is so good why do they want to get rid of it so bad. The obvious answer is that it is going to be worth even less in a month then what they are charging now.

I warned you guys about this months ago. I told you this would start happening at the end of October, or early November. Guess what there it is right in front of you. Yeah sure don't believe me go out and buy this thing, but don't bawl on these forums when it blows up in your face.

bolded part: well I disagree. November is the month with all the software-releases, but the hardware madness really starts in December / last week of November.

My bad, I wrote retailers, but meant a retailer.

Serious question:

Who do you blame for the failure of the Vita?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Just tried to get my local Target to Honor this deal...no go.

Oh well, I will just wait until the BF deals come along (good thing I was there for something else!)
