A couple problems OP ...
1. Fail to see how a free game is going to save the Vita or is that a joke?
2. Walmart shoppers not buying something at $249.99 and higher. If the console doesn't sell, why would the games? It's not at the Wallmart price, which is something like 149.99 - $199.99 and below for a handheld. What about Target, Best Buy, ToysRus, GameStop .. or is this more anectodal evidence?
3. Folks in this thread talk about profitability? Please, someone give me the cost breakdown of the Vita 3G and Wifi editions now. More talk of the SCE and Sony Corp. bottom line. Someone please give me Sony's intentions for cost reduction in 2013 to 2014. Case in point, did anyone know about the sale of their corporate NY headquarters before the press release?
4. Vita software sales? Someone please tell me their digital sales? We know retail.
Certainly a lot of assumptions made in this thread. I don't know the answer to these questions. Does anyone?
How does one make these conclusions on a screenshot and a quote from someone that works as an employee of the store?
