Other folks saying it's not true doesn't debunk the story. I've seen this reported on lots of other website like:-

http://www.computerandvideogames.co...ita-sales-spark-retailer-price-cuts-in-japan/

You don't think they're all quoting the fake source while people living in Japan debunked the story?

Turtles all the way down, the original source seems to be http://playfront.de/ps-vita-japanische-handler-senken-preis-um-20-prozent/ which appears to source itself off some shady picture

It certainly hard to find the source of the story. The CVG source has now changed there story.

They looked past the flaws and decided to shove a premium price for an already outdated system at console prices...

Hahahahahahaha

Why would the PSP be spreading rumors about the Vita

I laughed dude, that was pretty funny.

People seem to forget that in most countries (Including their own.), the big retailers tend to rush to discount the next big thing as soon as it comes out as it increases their exposure.

Yeah, they did it with Arkham City, $25, but I didn't expect this to happen with the PSVita, maybe if you bought something along with it, you got a 2,000 yen discount, but not a slash.

I was personally in Japan and saw a couple of stores doing this.

Up to 20% (23.999 yens the 3G version and 19.999 yens the wifi version)? In most of the retailers? I'll cancel my preorder, then, and import one

I personally saw 10 percent for the 3G. I never saw 20 percent but I can imagine one of the smaller stores doing it.
