I can see the PSVita getting a PriceCut sometime in the Summer. That's when sales usually drop so a PriceCut could really help out the Vita there.

Its stupid if Vita waits intill june/july (after E3) for a price cut imo. Its best at least in March because one its games will/going to be out (soul sacrifice,etc) and if it waits intill june/july 3DS will have MH4 in Japan.

Also note that 3DS will blow up when Oct comes, (pokemon x/y) and at that time no console or Vita will touch it in sales. Vita needs the attention now!


Umm, Tbone... unless you have some capcom confirmation. I believe they said there was no Vita version of MH4. Given the 2 year exclusivity contract, there wont be one until next year the earliest.

But, hopefully PSO2 will be out by then.



noooo. I said wen it comes out in japan for 3ds (mh4) Vita will lose massive sales!!! Thats wat i mean!!!

Ah, alright. I misunderstood then. :)



just asking, but do ya agree!

Well, yeah. MH4 and Pokemon will make the 3DS explode like an atomic bomb. No more lack of reason for anyone to get the system.

The problem is i dont think Sony can do anything about the Vita now. Only thing they can do is announce more good games that appeal to more than a niche audience. Things like Gravity rush and soul sacrifice are too niche. They need to bring out God of War and Gran turismo on it.

Once economically feasable they should cut the price as soon as possible. The battle with the 3DS is over, 3DS already won. The battle for Sony now is to create a system that can make some money on software sales. They released Playstation plus for it though, and that is a service that makes no sense without years of support, so i believe Sony will not give up on the system, but its gonna be a slow and harduous road. Sony has to show their perseverance here or the playstation brand will be damaged severely.

Yeah, likely at E3 would be my bet too. Alongside some announcements of newer games and some nice SKU deals.

Sony is going to try to relaunchit like Nintendo did with the 3DS when it was doing badly, probably.

I think at Destination PlayStation which is at the end of February. Titles will be hitting stores shortly after that and they need to maintain some sales power on the off season. Later in the year they can create bundles. They could even stagger the memory card price drop if that means they can spread more interest around for the system.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

As soon as possible. Sony shouldn't even wait any longer. Do it. NOW.
