| I agree completely with this, Nintendo is afraid that they'll lose the handheld market to Sony.

| I don't think they're afraid of Sony. They're afraid of the market itself, which is slowly becoming more app-centric. ___________________________ Check out my blog, MAG Journal! |

| This could be a great opportunity for Sony to strike if they offer an affordable price for the Vita. |

The Vita is $249 for WiFi and $299 for 3G. That's already the same price or more than the 3DS costs currently.___________________________ Check out my blog, MAG Journal! |

| Lol at people that actually think they are afraid of sony.  one word: APPLE ___________________________ We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state, from which the vast majority have never stirred. - Richard Dawkins  |

| I disagree. I doesn't really have that much to do with the Vita, but rather Nintendo's own earnings. If you read Nintendo's quarterly earnings, that shit went down the drain and so did their stock. The price drop was aimed to increase consumer demand and confidence in the investors.
And I agree that Apple is much more of a competitor in the handheld market than Sony is. The 99 cents model is just absolutely destroying full price handheld games. |

| They dropped the price because they weren't meeting the numbers they wanted to see. End of, in my opinion anyway. |

| Nintendo dropped price on the 3DS because it was afraid of Vita. It got a great reaction from people at E3 before they announced the At&t partnership for 3G and Nintendo was already slacking in sales. I mean come on the PSP sold 2:1 against the 3DS. |

Sounds like something that Pyro2000x would say. Lets just over look the fact that Nintendo money went the drain and lets just say that Nintendo is afraid of Sonys next fail attempt to bring console gaming to the handheld market. |

Yeah it is totally okay when Sony sold the ps3 consoles at a lost. |
What are you talking about? Sony had no other option than to sell the PS3 at a loss. It costed them more to make than what the retail price was, the PS3 wouldn't have sold shit if the price wasn't 500 USD/EURO. |

Like how Nintendo had no other choice to sell the 3Ds at a loss. Oh you make it sound like a sin when other companies cut the prices of their consoles. |
