Vita is saved 130 31.10%
 
Won't do much 76 18.18%
 
Short lived boost 95 22.73%
 
Will increase baseline sales a little 117 27.99%
 
Total:418

So why is it taking Square Enix years to do this FFX HD thing? It took Sony Santa Monica a few weeks to do GoW 1+2 HD...

Vita with 1 game has been 199€ in Europe for ages. They need to include a Memory Card, the price cut alone won't do it.

Pretty much what I've been thinking all along. It may be different in Japan, but we've already been at that price and below for a fair while, and sales haven't helped. Aside from FFX, I didn't see anything which may come over here to assist that situation.

Here in The Netherlands the Vita Wifi is indeed below 199 but not with a game(that's about 230). So a Vita 3g with game below 199 would still mean a price cut of about 50 euro's. Also if they manage to squeese in a memory card for under 199 than i think it will definitely boost sales

I have been looking for you for forever.

So what movie is that anyways?

Total Recall, the original one.

OT: That was a surprise, didn't thought they were going to drop the price before FY end. So they lowered the forecast and the price cut.

All I know is now im going to buy a Vita I made $75 last week and I plan to make another $125.
Just drop the memory card prices please....


Good for you, working for your money and everything. Welcome to adulthood, it sucks.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

well if it's a global drop then a boost will happen.

Yeah, but I doubt it'll be a huge one, and very unlikely to be sustained. Could be wrong, of course.

same here. i think as long as Sony can keep games coming then vita will be able to hold a steady boost

Both are $199? What does the WiFi only model have added to it to make up for lacking 3G to justify being the same price?

I know, I don't get it.

Vita 4G. They seling out 3G version to bring 4G with HDMI and USB for 249$ probably.

Hope there's a legacy program as well for early adopters, but I doubt it

Don't be so naive. It's to get rid of stock to less savvy people who don't know the difference. Crafty I know, but that's why.

I think they will just stop making the 3G version (at least in japan) so they are clearing stock.   Now the version that offers more for the same price will fly out of shelves.
