No it's not. Media Create has it above 10k.

No chance. The market for Wii has always been bigger than for the PS3, so market saturation sets in earlier for the latter. Also the WiiU will take away most the sales from the PS3, as it will have Nintendo key software at better gaphics (presumably) going into holidays.

Wii U won't take PS3 sales away, it'll take Wii sales.

Duh.. let me spell it out for you:

From fall on, there will be essentially two groups of buyers:

a) Wii people wanting "more power": They will gravitate towards the WiiU, not the PS3 for obvious reasons

b) People wanting a "powerful console": They will also gravitate towards the WiiU, not the PS3 (newer,shinier, etc..)

There will be a nonessential group of people that want "A console to play": They will buy a Wii, not a PS3 or WiiU

In the end (neglecting Xbox360  in the equation for equally obviuos resons), the WiiU WILL take away PS3 sales.

So much wrong with your post...

a. The Wii success doesn't mean it will carry over to the Wii U. Just look at what happened between the PS2 and PS3 transition.
b. No, they will "gravitate" towards the cheaper powerful consoles such as a PS3 or Xbox 360. 

In the end it all comes down to marketing and word of mouth. People won't buy a Wii U if they don't know about it. People won't buy a Wii U if they can buy the still new Kinect for Xbox 360 which is cheaper.

seriously vita will be a huge success in japan. below 10k? wasnt the ps3 selling like only 5k in japan at one point? things will change for the vita

But the PS3 isn't a huge success in Japan....it is successful but the Wii sold better.

I think Sony really needs to do something to get people buying a Vita instead of a 3DS. But maybe Sony isn't aiming to be the market leader...who knows what their plans are.

denial is really a sad, curious thing.



Wii, PS3, XB360 and 3DS should teach us that you can't really say anything for sure until every console in a given generation has stopped production...

I'm well aware; it's a joke. People are just claiming that, when Vita drops below 10k in Japan, it's the END OF THE WORLD! Don't worry about it. 

 

Also, you posted 4 times in a row in this thread. You can get into trouble for that. I have in the past



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

damn nintendo fans are slicing the vita up. guess sony fans better be keeping an eye on wii u launch cause i got a feeling its gonna be a bad one

denial or having a brain? its ridiculous that people decided the fate of the vita BEFORE it even released! have you not learned ANYTHING this generation? if nothing else atleast give the damn thing 6 months on the market. were the nintendo fans in denial when they said give the 3ds time after its botched launch?

if after a price cut and some good system selling games release for the vita and it still struggles then you can say it is failing.

isn't it out selling the DS is the same time frame, wonder why no one is commenting on that right? I just recently got a Vita and it's awesome!

Vita will do fine, love mine, but sales analysis is just that- analysis. People come to different conclusions. But your right it is really too early to consider Vita DOA. It is also unrealistic to not be concerned with it's sales trend especially compared to the PSP which really had a poor launch game line-up. At the same time the 3DS looked like a dud for quite a while so nobody knows and that's kinda where we should be right now.
