SmartPhones are killing Vita.

The raise of Windows Phone wont help either, neither will the oustanding sales of Iphone 5.

Nope. 3DS is "killing" the Vita.
Smartphones aren't affecting Vita sales anymore than they are the 3DS.


I'd say it's more of the Vita killing itself.

Blame Sony or the game developers for not supporting it, but blaming the Vita itself? Care to elaborate?


I'm talking about the appeal of the Vita, which of course is the result the actions of Sony and developers, not the console itself.

I assumed you used a similar line of thinking with the 3DS. When you said the 3DS is killing the Vita, you must have meant the appeal of the 3DS, not the 3DS itself, which is the result of the actions of Nintendo and developers.

Lol, shows that the 360 needs a price cut. Surprisingly high Ps3 sales knowing that it was because of the re design.



Yay!!!

That was an australasian price cut. Plus they only cut the price because it was too high compared to US and europe.

Still shocks me how many people predicted the 3ds to be a huge flop. It's doing very well for itself evan with a price cut and nintendo is no longer selling it at a loss since summer.

I just hope they will add miiverse to it.



 

WII U // PC // 3ds XL // VITA

The $50 price cut in the US is only temporarily.

I think they will keep the price at that after the holiday. If they don't, I see the PS3 gaining more market share in the US, then it currently has. It would make the 360 more expensive than the cheapest model of the ps3, with the same amount of GBS. The 4GB is still 199.99 and that won't change anytime soon, I think it will after E3 or before it.

 

If they do raise the price back up, I'm sure it will be bundled with a game or two. Like what they are doing with the Kinect and the 360+Kinect Bundle.

You guys are going overkill on discussing European Wii U sales, paralysis by analysis.

I think it's pretty obvious:

They don't care about it! And they probably never will.

It makes about as much sense as discussing 360 numbers in Japan.

The 12gb PS3 has a lot to do with the sales it is getting this holiday season. Once it is released WW, there should be a healthy increase in PS3 sales.

I don't know if the Xbox really needs to cut it's price. It is still selling very well, and it is continously making money. They may wait until the next Xbox is announced before making any changes in price.
