$250 with wi-fi and $300 with 3G are pretty good prices, it's impressive that Sony matched Nintendo... gives them a little more of a chance. I think the 3DS is certainly going to win, but this might help Sony do better than it would have with a higher-priced system.
Of course though, Nintendo can just reduce the 3DS price (and $250 is ... pretty high, to say the least), and its big games of the year are still upcoming, while Sony announced nothing of note for the Vita, so I think the Sony fans calling this "the death of the 3DS" and absurd things like that ridiculously wrong, but it does give Sony a bit more of a chance than it had.
