Sony under pressure to drop PS Vita price - Analyst

Gamers putting heat on electronics giant to counter Nintendo's 3DS price cut, according to Japanese industry watcher.

The 3DS price drop goes into effect later this week, and its impact is already reverberating throughout the industry. Speaking with Bloomberg, Ace Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda said all eyes are now on Sony to see whether it reacts with a price cut for the upcoming PlayStation Vita.
"Gamers are increasingly anticipating Sony to lower prices, especially after the 3DS cut," Yasuda said. "Sony is under major pressure to cut the price of the Vita or risk a major failure."
That's a risk Sony is apparently willing to take. Last week, Sony executive deputy president Kaz Hirai told reporters the Nintendo drop wouldn't impact plans for the PS Vita.
"We packed so much into the device and made it very affordable," Hirai said. "There is no need to lower the price just because somebody else that happens to be in the video game business decided that they were going to lower their price."
If Sony does cut the price of the PS Vita before launch, it wouldn't be the first time the company has pulled such a move. With less than two months to go before the PlayStation 3's 2006 Japanese launch, Sony cut the Japanese price of the 20GB system from the originally announced ¥60,000 ($515 at the time) to ¥49,980 (around $429).
The PS Vita is expected to launch in Japan this year, with North American and European launches following in 2012.

Goodbye Letter from Steve Jobs

Next to a formal announcement that Steve Jobs had resigned as CEO, the Cupertino technology giant behind Mac OS X posted an open letter from Jobs himself. Addressed to the Apple Community and the company’s Board of Directors, the letter specifically states that Jobs was no longer fit to carry out his role.

Struck by cancer in 2004, Steve Jobs struggled to fight off the disease while carrying out his CEO duties.

Although he was ultimately able to rid his body of a type of pancreatic cancer that doctors said was very rare, the disease left Jobs rail thin and unable to assimilate enough protein.

In 2009 Jobs announced he was taking a medical leave of absence. It was later revealed he had undergone a liver transplant.

Following the operation, Jobs returned to Apple, only to take another medical leave in January, this year.

Providing no timeframe for a potential return (as he had done in the past), this last medical leave was indeed thought to be Jobs’ last, before he would ultimately resign as CEO.

As Jobs himself puts it, “that day has come:”

Letter from Steve Jobs

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve
