Forums - Sony - PS Vita to drop to $180 soon?

There was a rumor circulating that they will announce a $150 price for the new slim model at E3. But since I hate rumors from "reliable sources" I didn't bother bookmarking it.

Why would a $20 price drop do anything at all? Perception?

They really need to get to at least the 150 price point. I thought the Vita would a lot better than it has when it was first announced. I should have known that first price point (which matched the overpriced 3DS price point) wasn't going to get it off to a good start (considering Nintendo had to drop the 3DS price asap along with a couple system seller games to get it going again). Vita will continue to struggle till it reaches an acceptable price and has a decent amount of system sellers. Does it have good games? I'm sure it has plenty but it lacks system sellers.

With 3rd party support vita is sold poorly even if it cost 50 dollars



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

PSVita/PS4 (official) bundle nowhere to be seen.

They better have it by Christmas

Might help sales a little but without any major games announed (which im sure they will only have indies) sales wont be that great

This.  Until Sony tries to get more retail games localized in the west, the Vita is going to continue to fail.  Imo the Vita is beyond saving and Sony doesn't give a shit.



Instead of "soon" schouldn't it be "too late"?

 The Vita will be unstoppable if they drop the price to 99$!

Price drops have proven to be ineffective for the PS Vita, not sure why they think a $20 drop would help at all.


me either. if they want to drop the price drop it to 149$ where it might give it a slight boost or keep it at 199$ were it will at least generate more money with the same sales of a 179$ console. IMO they should have dropped the vita to 179$ last year instead of dropping it to 199$

Gamecube dropped to that price and wasn't saved. Won't work with the Vita or even WiiU.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...
