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.
Quote:
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.
Quote:
The 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.

What Sony MUST do :

1. Price Cut
2. PSN Prices must be reduced on ALL PSP/PSone/PS Vita content
3. Start releasing some AAA games

Dont do that, the console WILL fail, its VERY close to the edge as it is

Interesting idea actually since Samsung does pump out some awesome gadgets. But I doubt they would do it since it would be a major gamble on their part.

And I dont necessarily agree with the idea of a Vita price cut, because the hardware really is awesome. It is just the software that is lacking. Its absurd that we dont have ps1 games yet. And it would be nice to see PSN games for the PS3 be able to be played on the Vita too, that would help. I think by the end of the year though the Vita will be doing much better. It simply was released prematurely.

Price cut not needed, Sony has had slow starts many times and recovered. Nintendo handhelds are expected to sell like hot cakes, which is why 3DS was cut so fast.

and no ETA but finally some news.

I agree price cut is just not needed. Software is where it needs massive improvements. Maybe I'm just too used to my android powered devices but the vita is seriously lacking. There is no battery indicator at all. How hard is it to include a percentage in the battery picture, or even in settings > Battery> Status.

The hardware is amazing, finally finished uncharted and wow, just wow. If this is what vita launches with I can't wait to see the improvements over the years.

I agree man as dissapointed as I am with my vita right now (haven't touched it in months) I expect it to be capable of some very very good games. On my psp I only played the rpg games avalible on it but I think thats why I'm so dissapointed with the vita wheres the RPGS!!!??? Once they start rolling in my love for the system will rise and then I will continue to suppport sony devices untill then this might as well be junk in my closet. But in years to come this system will be very impressive!
