Sony is planning to cut the price of the PlayStation Vita in Japan. The price cut will come into effect from February 28 and after the reduction both the both the 3G and WiFi models will be available for 19,980 yen (£138 / $215), down from the previous price of 24,980 yen (£173 / $269).
Sony Japan boss Hiroshi Kawano announced this during a still-ongoing live-stream focused on the handheld. All Japanese Vita owners will get a free week of PlayStation Plus, with access to games such as Uncharted: Golden Abyss. A new "Ice Silver" Vita flavour is also on the way.
In terms of sales, Vita is selling around 15,000 units per week, in comparison to 70,000 Nintendo 3DS units.
