ThePonyCollie posted...Nintendo knew their system was average at best compared to the Vita that's why they did a price drop just before the Vita's release.
Before the price cut, and without any big exclusives, the 3DS was still selling 20-30K a week in Japan. The Vita, by contrast, struggles to stay above 10K.
The price cut is what made it a curbstomp, but even without it the 3DS would have comfortably outsold the Vita.
