Simple Wat If it doesn't do all that well in US+Europe after the price drop? Japan did well with jumping from 4k-6k to average out 15k-20k plus after price cut it jumped to around 60k twice!

Games are coming with Indie Support and the whole PS4 connectivity. But is that enough w/o that GTA/GoW Title? No MH4/DQ?

What do you all think? What is successful and wat is not in your own words?

I think if Vita does less than 20k after first price cut week then things wont look to well. Japan boosted over 800%, why cant US do it(or Europe)?

Doesn't matter bought mine.



You're really going after the Vita, aren't you?

I don't know what will happen in Europe but a price cut without an advertising push rarely does anything by itself. In the US, no one knows about it. In Japan, the price cut was timed near the release of several games, which came with a lot of advertising. A better barometer will be how well the Vita does when Killzone and Tearaway release--assuming they coincide with an advertising campaign.

As for "saved"--which is a silly term to use with hardware--a boost could happen at any time. These "if it doesn't improve by X event" threads are going to keep repeating over and over, with the event in question continuously moving backwards. It's already tiresome.



The world ends and we all die a fiery fiery death.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

Im saying it as an overall statement. Sony hasn't advertised the price cut. They got killzone coming out which seems to be their biggest title coming for vita (unless Tearaway is bigger?). Im just saying with a huge price drop it should at least do 25k-30k in the states right??? õ.Õ

I don't understand the options in your poll. Vita is selling 30-40k a week at the moment. Why is 15k on there? You're expecting it to lose 15-25k weekly sales after the price cut?



I think we will see sales increase a bit and average out at round 10-15k. Not spectacular but enough to keep the handheld going.

I don't think anyone expects the cut to help that much.

not going after it, i made a thread on Predictions and most of every1 here said under 20k in its first price cut week(Vita). I kno japan had it good with Soul Sacrifice and Phatasy Star Online 2, but to me a $50+$100 price drop should increase vita at least in US to around 35k-40k! 3DS went from 11k to 52k(price cut with 2 days that week) then up again to 90k with out any releases. Sony needs to not rely on just it being a PS4 accessory or a indie handheld. Unless you think otherwise?
