Opinion: It's time for Sony to consider a Vita price cut
- Summary -
Quote:
In Japan, Vita hardware sales hit a record low last week, selling just 8,250 units. In the U.S. -- where the base Vita sells for $250, and the 3G version sells for $300 -- sales appear to have declined to between 205,000 and 215,000 last month, although precise figures are not available.

If that sounds familiar, it's because it's following the same trend as the 3DS did in its terrible debut in the U.S. While American gamers basically ignored the system due to its high price and lack of must have games, Japanese sales plunged even further.

SourceThe ultimate decision to cut the price just a few months after launch was a life preserver for the 3DS, which ended up selling more hardware units in its first year than the DS.
