I think the price drop helped 3DS sales go up. I don't think it would have stopped people who want Vita anyway. If they are on the fence about Vita its more likely to do with something on Sony's side rather than Nintendo. It could be a lack of big games currently, it could be their tactics with piracy. Or it could be price of the Vita.

Its just like with PS3. It wasn't so much the 360 being cheaper that made people go to it. Its because Sony were so foolish with their pricing. Generally when things go wrong with a system its more to do with the manufacturer than the competition. Like 3DS was the lack of games and price.

Of course it did, everyone was wondering if vita would have a price drop too, and everyone on the fence jumped onthe one that dropped it's price by 1/3. Vita has had a way better selection then games then 3DS had, way better features, online is way better despite Nintendo having more time to get it up and put stuff on the store then Sony, the hardware is way better, the only difference really is the price, and the fact 3DS dropped it's price.

I see what you mean. Yeah it did hurt Sony in that sense. Because Nintendo dropped it so fast people are expecting Sony to do it any day now. So a lot will be holding off, especially with all the negative press surrounding it.

Its still hard to say with this though. Look at the Kinect 360 slim. People were certain that Kinect would flop at the bundle price they were asking. They said that casuals won't pay that kind of cash. Boy were they wrong. Thats why its so hard to say.
