Forums - Sony - Sony Announces “Various Hardware Sales Initiatives” for the PS Vita, Hint of a Price Drop?

Gamegears on 20 July 2013

I think they need to do price cuts on their memory cards..and maybe the system itself.. frankly a bundle with PS4 that costs you about 650 bucks if it happens is just to much.. lower the price and make a bundle.. it will help sales.. of the Vita and promote that Remote Play...



Nintendo Wii by generations...

1. Wii

2. Wii U

3. Wii O U

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)

A 40 dollar reduction to the vita and a 20% discount on the cards would likely sell a few units.

Asking for games from something that's got 5 million sold is harder. Like the wiiU developers want to see sales. Get the unit out there, and games will line up.

OH! and to add the problem, the producer is encouraging westerners to play the english patch version.( east asia version)


Well, thats not an option unless Sony changes their store policies. It would require an additional account and the Vita doeslt let you have more than one without an extremely complex method of restarting the system. Unless its a physical copy of the game that is. After that you wouldnt be able to get DLCso you probably couldnt play either way. It sounds really fishy that the producer would say that. Is it official or are people just saying?

In my opinion, the price is convenient. we have for 199EUR a console plus 8go and 10 games. What should we ask anymore? GAEMZ , KILLER-APPs !!


Where??

Don't know if available in other coutries, but in france we have it http://www.amazon.fr/Console-Playstation-Vita-voucher-M%C3%A9moire/dp/B00CXONBIO/ref=zg_bs_videogames_32

Been a long time in the top20 and for only 194 euros

A price cut to 199€ MSRP, so that would mean even lower in some retailers, since in Poland you already can get the vanilla Wifi model for about 185-200 euros equivalent. Introduce 64Gb cards and an overall price cut for the cards, discountinue the 4Gb or add them as a starter to every console to increase value. The price cut should go with the release of Tearaway, KZ is too close to GTA5 noone will think about Vita then.
Sony should sell some units, and I will be happy and buy one myself for the PS4 tandem.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I just sold mine. If  they start to produce more games and drop the price of memory cards then I'll one day consider getting a PS Vita again.


How much did you get?


I got $200 for it.

You can get systems here for like £149, if not less. The price really isn't the issue.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

At $150 US with a memory card and 3 months of playstation plus it would be tempting.
Also means I would be able to get it for like $90ish at Cowboom (BestBuy's pre-owned website) considering Vitas were $130 or less there before.

I would consider one at $90ish used.



It's just that simple.
