My bad, I wrote retailers, but meant a retailer. Serious question: Who do you blame for the failure of the Vita? |
I'd say 75% of the blame can go to SONY.

............ wow.

As someone who works at target in the electronics department i can say this isn't going on at the stores.
TPC's - temporary price cuts - are a tricky thing. If they were discontinuing stock on the model it would go on clearence... and that starts at 5% for expensive electronics up to 15% on cheap items. and increase usually bi-weekly by 5%... I'm waiting for a 55inch vizio tv to get marked down by another 5% at my store. Originaly 800 dollars and is 10% off right now. TPC are sometimes on items that are about to go on clearence, or on fruit about to go bad. But they are usually less than the amount they are about to clearence it for.
Also, if these were at the store good luck getting one. the employees would buy them up and get an extra 15% off that price.

No shit. I just tried :)
They did give me 20% off tho (I turned it down as BF deals will be better)

You do realize that Target didn't even do this for the PSP Go right? This is online only for an old bundle. They will still carry the 3g model but not of the old bundles... trust me on this, Ive been waiting for a good deal on a hand held for in between classes at Marquette.

Lucky you. they would never give that to me because I'm an employee. Also, i have no clue why they would offer you that in the first place. They are only suppose to mark down displays by 10% so I don't know why they would try to sell a boxed item to you for more than that.
As for BF deals... maybe they will be better but the issue with that is being one of the few that get the deal... the 20% was a sure thing which I would have taken... and there is no guarentee youll get 60$ off for BF either
| DirtyP2002 said: 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 |
implying nintendo didn't do the same thing.

As another someone who works at Target in the electronics department, I can confirm this. I'm also pretty sure that it's not Target just dumping the Vita. I stocked 4 PSVita/AC:Liberation bundles a few days ago, and we typically get ~20 Vita games a week. There isn't a large area for it, but it does have a devoted section up front.
Just a clearance sale. There's lots of new Vita bundles coming in the next few weeks, this old one has no chance of selling.
Anyway the price is back up to $300 after being out of stock....
