SCEJ boss explains Vita price cut

EDGE: Head of SCEJ Hiroshi Kawano has outlined the reasons for the recent Vita price cut in Japan

VITA is still doomed.

“We have the new price down; now it’s time for software. Just with what’s been announced so far, we’ll have more games coming out this year than last, and they’re being launched on a regular basis throughout the year."

;)

Doomed system don't get regular game releases throughout the year.

I'm also excited about more games coming out this year for the Vita.

Believe me, I would not bring up such satire if things weren't on the up trend.

I mean, I already knew a price drop and stuff would come but being reassured and SCEJ head stating that this year is already on track of being a much better sales and gaming year for VITA kinda makes it okay for me to poke fun at people that where saying VITA sucked bc of sales or w/e.

Like the dream cast for example.

I dont expect the Vita to be as successful as the 3DS but it can still be profitable for Sony.

@juju the first part throws me off,you should've put /s so people got you were being sarcastic.

[ShugaCane]

Good, now confirm the price cut for western countries too.

I hope they do the same for Europe. If the Vita was £180, then it would make the price of that 32GB memory card bearable and I would buy one.
