I believe the Vita's small library of games plays a bigger role in the system's sluggish sales than its price.
People have bought bundles based on availability. My local Gamestop didn't have any standalone PS4 systems for sale last month, but they did have a handful of bundles in stock. The employees there were telling me that people were buying the bundles because they couldn't wait any longer for a restock.
Best Buy was the only store in my area that was selling standalone PS4 systems during the month of January. For whatever reason, they don't offer bundles at the store...
Could this be a pricing mistake?
This should be interesting!

It's too early to say that Nintendo will exit the console business after the Wii U. The Big N has plenty of cash (as the article states) to upright their 'sinking' ship after the Wii U failed to capture the market. If Nintendo could find a purpose for their Gamepad, or somehow re-brand their hardware (i.e. marketing it better than they have), maybe the Wii U could still have a fighting chance.
Releasing a new console right now would be Business 101 suicide. Nintendo FINALLY convinced the mass market that Wii U is NOT an upgrade, but a new gaming console with capabilities superior to the original Wii.
Plus, Nintendo hasn't supported the Wii U or 3DS long enough to replace both systems. All you have to do is look at video game history to see how this decision could easily ruin Nintendo as a console manufacturer and a company.
I agree with you, Garo. This is the best version of Trine 2 to own.
The Fighting Fantasy series pioneered paperback role-playing books in the early 1980's. In fact, there was nothing like it at the time. Each book used a dice rolling system for combat. The reader had to use pen and paper to keep track of the items they found during their adventure. Additionally, the books came with their own inventory page if you wanted to use that instead. The Fighting Fantasy series not only came first, but itinspired many different Gamebooks over the years (including ...
I doubt Sony's push for indie titles on the PS4 will affect first and third party releases, especially original concepts like The Order 1886. It will just expand the PS4's library of titles. Besides, some indie games are simply incredible (i.e. A.R.E.S, for example) and they deserve the attention Sony is giving them.
Black Friday will be the best time to purchase a Wii U. Plenty of its games and accessories will be on sale.
The Wii U is doing well since the Zelda bundle was released.
Switched? Heck no. I pre-ordered both systems.
Nintendo is trying hard to show people the difference between the Wii and Wii U.
Great game.
It's still a price drop, temporary or not. We might even see more sales like this one the closer we get to the PS4 and Xbox One's launch.
Besides, Nintendo will have to drop the price of the Wii U eventually to stay competitive. Who knows, we may even see a permanent price drop in 2014.
I knew the price drop for the Wii U was just a matter of time. This should help boost system sales and motivate developers to support the system. Good for you, Nintendo.
This reminds me of Klax by Atari.
Good point, dedicatedtogamers. Nintendo's biggest problem is finding a practical use for their tablet controller. I can see the Wii U doing a lot better if Nintendo found a use for it. Right now developers are somewhat undecided on how to actually take advantage of it. Like you said - it's more of a, 'what is it for?' factor for people.
I agree; it's going to be a fun game.
