Sony's Kaz Hirai has confirmed that the will be no holiday release for the Vita in the US and Europe, but possibly for Japan. We all have look forward to the release of the Vita and it's touchy goodness, but with the limited release titles available at launch it might have been a good idea to delay the system. Learning from the mistakes of the Nintendo 3DS (why does this seem so familiar? PS Move Maybe?), an early launch with a weak library of games available could possibly leave a bad taste in consumer's mouths. There has been no change of pricing for the PS Vita, the wifi only is still priced at $249, and the 3G+wifi at $299.
Nintendo is feeling the hurt with the limited amounts of 3DS handhelds being bought. To try to cut down on their losses Nintendo has decided to cut the price of the 3DS systems about 30 percent, bringing the the system down to around $170 come August 12. Does this sound familiar? Playstation 3 perhaps? More news on the drop inside.
