If you click on the link and read the news you'll find thisYou know what else needs a price drop? The memory cards
Those damned memory cards, they charge an outrageous $30 for an 8gb right now when SD cards have long since dropped below $10 easily.
Also how big of a pricedrop we talking? They probably won't be able to compete with the $80 price drop of the 3DS.

"At E3 Sony plans to announce the sales figures of the Vita, which currently are below target, but off to a great start. The next move by Sony is to mimic the success Nintendo have had with the 3DS, by offering a reduction of £80 on the wi-fi version of Vita, in a bid to meet it's interal targets."
Lazy people... -_-

You share that there may be a price drop and don't even give an estimated figure from the article you're sourcing?
Each Vita sold makes a loss. Yeah the cards cost way too much but that's because they need to make it loss back along with the game sales.You know what else needs a price drop? The memory cards

Indeed, I think the whole problem is that they tried to make it too powerful of a system as it's just handheld.Each Vita sold makes a loss.

Then forgive me for assuming that somebody in USN would try to share the story in detail.I linked to the source...

I mean you don't have to try and make a profit out of the actual hardware but at least try to break even. The memory cards being the way they are can be viewed as plain old greed, with current prices of flash storage media.
You have any idea how expensive and fragile OLED screens are? You know how much processing power it takes a handheld to render at the Vita's screen resolution?
I think it's all a case of too soon. 3DS caught up with the PSP and it's doing great since that hardware is more affordable and more practical for handheld systems now.

You think it flies that in day to day conversation that you talk about a small bit of a story, then tell people to go read the rest of the key parts themselves? Nuh-uh.
They should have not bothered with the back touch thingies to reduce costs.Indeed, I think the whole problem is that they tried to make it too powerful of a system as it's just handheld.
The Vita has a quad core CPU plus quad core GPU which are severely underpowered to save battery. I remember Sony themselves claiming that the Vita can be just as powerful as the PS3, just that the battery will be gone in less than 5 minutes and all other issues like overheating.They should have not bothered with the back touch thingies to reduce costs.Indeed, I think the whole problem is that they tried to make it too powerful of a system as it's just handheld.
I don't think its too powerful, its the right amount of a step up after the PSP and also it needed to be more powerful (not just graphically but in other things) than the 3DS otherwise it wouldn't really have much else to say for itself other than being Sony's new handheld.
lol no PS3 CPU was a beast. There's no challenge at all.The Vita has a quad core CPU plus quad core GPU which are severely underpowered to save battery.

It's actually really really powerful.
