is this considered a success or something?

3DS killed it on sales.

Only the diehard consider it a success. Those are terrible numbers

Surely they have to announce a price drop soon, the 3DS was also doing poorly until the price was stopped and now it's unstoppable.

Although the price isn't the only issue, where are the killer apps? The developers just don't seem to be fully supporting it yet.

Sadly for Sony, they need to drop the price to 199 or so, because those sales are not too good.

Captain Tuttle4257d ago

Yeah, Sony's in a tough bind with the Vita. They've been bleeding money for years and can't afford to drop the price so Vita sells poorly. With poor sales third party interest drops. Sony can't afford to support it on their own. It's a vicious cycle.
And Sony closed Liverpool Studios today, no more Wipeout.
