On Topic

Meh, I didn't expect it to go down.

so if you will...

PS Vita is worth the $250 they just need ot bundle it with a 8GB memory card and lower the prices of the others as they're ridiculous.FlamesOfGrey

Oh the Heavy Hitters are coming.

They have Persona 4, Playstation Battle AllStars, Call of Duty, and Assassin's Creed if I'm not mistaken and they look really good for the system.

lol, they are going to give it a price cut when they are good and ready, they still have the assassin creed bundle and got the cod bundle to go. The fact that they are working looking in on reducing the cost is great.

How is this beating a dead horse? It's new news that strongly impact the future of PSV sales.

You are probably not familiar with the state of CoD Vita. It's a spinoff of the spinoff series Black Ops called BO: declassified and the trailer looks like horsecrap. The developers are reluctant to answer any questions regarding the game.

They can't drop it.

It's still selling for a loss.

They would have to cut back on the features if they wanted to do so.

forgot about Killzone PSV.

Also how can Assassin's Creed not be a System Seller? It has a Bundle.

[QUOTE="Shirokishi_"]AssCreed and CoD will probably be the best for mass appeal. The others not so much, not that Im not personally interested in them though.

Ive seen it and yes, it looks like a steaming pile of horse crap but the name will still reel in the suckers. It is the most poular franchise of the generation afterall (ung). And since when is blackops a spinoff?Shirokishi_

In all seriousness would he tell us if they were planning it? "Hey everyone we're going to be dropping the price soon so don't buy one now, just wait for the cheaper version."

You should go work for Sony with your Doctor of Business Administration and give them your wealth of valuable knowledge and insight. You alone can save Sony and Vita!! :o Heil68

Sony as a company is doing the right thing to let PSV do its thing instead of investing in the platform by for example taking a massive loss which they really can't afford right now, so just focus on PS4 at this point.

It boils down to two things: Invest trucks of cash in Vita right now to retain your spot in the dedicated handheld gaming scene in the future (long term plan, high risk since the market could vanish in the future in favor of mobile gaming), or drop out for free (no losses, no risk, Nintendo regains monopoly, the downside is the potential gain is gone).

Confirmed: No Pricecut for Vita in 2012 (Game Over) SuperFlakeman

Of course they're not going to announce a price cut before the holiday season, they'll do it right before so they get the MAXIMUM PROFITS before the holidays

$350 is cheap price for Vita

[QUOTE="AtariKidX"][QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"] He's lying. The Assassin's Creed bundle coming on release that was supposed to include a 4GB memory card no longer does. I don't know what Sony is thinking really.Shirokishi_

Really? I got my PS3 Slim for $300 in 2009, 3 years after launch and I ordered 12 games, most of them very cheap, while my friend who's a huge Sony fanboy got a PS3 day one for $599 and had amassed a whooping 10 games by that time.

Just play the multiplats on the PC for the time being, and you'd only be loosing out on a few exclusives. This way you also avoid potential YLoD/RRoD situations.

I got the Wii day 1 because it has only gone down $100 after 6 years, the unit is still working great and most 1st party games are still full priced. Talk about value.
