A Western price drop won't see a boost as big as this, but the price drop still needs to happen, don't know why Sony are holding off on it when it's selling 6k units a week in the US.


No point having a price cut when there are no games to go with it. 


Vita has plenty of games for a one year old platform, but nice to see yet another myth being propagated by the internet.

Pricecut week and 3 new good games and still not able to beat 3DS even for 1 week? Not impressed... Interesting, how low will it fall next week and where will Vita sales stabilize after pricecut...

The 3DS sold 214k in its first week post price cut, and has stabilized at 70k, so I would expect the Vita to stabilize around 20k. At least it's an improvement.

Well, if it will stabilize at 20 000 it will be good for Vita! We'll see it in 2 weeks, I think?

We'll probably see the stabilized sales numbers around mid April.

60k isn't bad. I expect around 35k next week with SS coming out.

Shining Ark really low opening, about half that of Shining Hearts & Shining Blade.  Shame... when will people buy Media.Vision's games?! :(

Definitely not. Bear in mind that Vita owners are likely to pick the digital version to avoid switching systems (that's what I do at least), so the digital sales part must be huge. Sol Trigger also opened around 55K.

Senran Kagura did wonderful, Marvelous must be delivering the 2nd shipment as we speak. The transition from 3DS is a great success for Sony and MAQL. Vita itself is not too hot, I expected 80K+. Now I wonder where it can hold.

I think he meant important releases in the same time frame as the price cut.

Don't think Tales is, Soul Sacrifice is problem is pre-orders aren't that impressive.

I think Soul Sacrifice will have the best first week for Vita in Japan.

Already did on Monday. However, Media Create and Famitsu only go to Sunday so the last 3 days of sales are not counted.
