Wow, the 3DS didn't do too well in the beginning, but with an aggressive price-cut and software push they've managed to get themselves out of water quick! I also noticed that the Nintendo 3DS had ANOTHER price-cut and is now $139.99 and the 3DS XL is $179.99. Wow! I wish Sony would drop the price of the PS Vita, I really want one but it's too late in the game to buy one full price when you know that one is coming right around the corner.



Those are just holiday price cuts but they are great especially bundled

"I wish Sony would drop the price of the PS Vita"- They already did that! Here in Austria you can buy the Vita with Memory Card and Game for 220€! I do not think this is expensive, considering the fact, that the 3DSXL is 199€ WITHOUT a game! Both are about the same price and the 3DS is selling better! So price is NO argument

PS: Was there any week where the Vita outsold the 3DS worldwide? If yes would it be possible to post numbers?

With a price drop and a great quality game i can see it surpassing 3DS for maybe 5 or 6weeks next year! Dont forget 3DS will have titles too. And if Pokemon comes out Japan Vita sales will fall off a cliff, Not only that but Japan gets Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest 7 early next year!

Well looks like the Vita will be very DOOMED in Japan next year.
