This was bound to happen eventually. Most people I know in Japan were waiting for a price cut, they're most likely rushing out to their nearest Bikku Camera to grab a Vita as we speak. I hope they slash the price in the west soon, if the install base gets a bit bigger, we might see a lot more companies willing to localize that delicious Japanese library of games.

The second link has a nice info graphic in the spoiler. There's a lot of good reason to buy a Vita now, especially if they cut the price.
Oh and guys, the Vita is 100% region free and you select the language at startup. I bought my Vita in Japan and the OS is in all English. Nothing stopping anyone from importing it cheap from Japan whatsoever.
Check out a couple of my recent posts about the Vita here:FFP2 said:Took them long enough.
I'm not trying to be catty or anything but is there any reason to get a Vita instead of a 3DS except for Persona 4 The Golden?
