Sony's portable PlayStation Vita will not get a price cut in the U.S., despite hopes for such a move.
Speaking to reporters today, Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida said that no price drop is coming for the Vita in the U.S., according to Polygon, which was in attendance at that discussion. Yoshida reportedly told those at the interview that Sony's recently announced decision to cut the price of the Vita in Japan had nothing to do with sales and everything to do with exchange rates.
Sony announced recently that it was cutting the price of its Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi-and-3G Vita models to 19,980 yen ($212). The company previously split the price of the two devices, selling the Wi-Fi-only version for 24,980 yen and the 3G-equipped model for 29,980 yen.
