3DSLL+3DS=187077/4021=46.53

So the 3DS outsold the Vita by 46.53x this week in Japan, as the country nears the first anniversary of the console. 

You can say 'it's the games which are coming', and that is true. But it doesn't help the situation now; and that is a dire one. No matter how you spin it.

It's not that big of a big deal. It's not like the Vita is made in Japan or anything...

You always choose the worst possible outcome when it comes to Sony, you know that!

Nah, that would be ridiculous. 

Of course, the games are coming. They are! And when they launch the Vita will be A-OK. So we just need to wait for the games; because 1 year on the market just isn't enough.

I agree.  Let's wait until the holidays are over before passing judgment.

I don't know about you, but 2 rivalling devices with one being outsold ~45:1 is certainly not a good sign, and is certainly something that should be highlighted. I can't recall a time in the past where such a thing has happened.

So what you're saying is that it's a Little Big Deal?

I suppose that's one way of putting it.  Sony should make a marketing campaign for the Vita with this logan.
