I don't see how those are good numbers for the Vita... Like really? One of the biggest weeks of the year, with such a deal and can't even break 150,000... Woooow... Good job Vita.... ;D

160k for the biggest shopping week of the year for a new system with a $80 price reduction for the week + relatively new color + high-end game bundled + download code for another new game ... isn't good by basically any metric. Even the GameCube would be ashamed of itself for a Black Friday week like that.

But it's better than the "dead as heck" level the Vita is usually at.

Well, consider that 3DS sold 250k during the same week.


Which is f-ing terrible in itself considering I think 3DS did 500k last Black Friday. 

I'm not sure what the hell NOA was even doing this year, maybe their plan was to let retailers discount and clear out all their their DS stock for Black Friday to give the 3DS the runway for December. Or maybe NOA is just that incompetent.

Come on guys, Vgchartz is only off by 125,000 for PS3. 25% error isn't that bad, oh...yeah I guess that kinda, well, okay it's bad.

Great numbers for PS & Xbox.

Yup. Unless a reliable site like IGN or GamesIndustry.biz get this "Sony email" then this is fake.

IGN already put the news online too lol lol lol.

yeah i think that was the day everyone was waiting for who did wait for a price reduction or something similiar and i also think everyone here did believe it will sell that much. people are just excited now because vgchartz numbers were so low.

but i'm very impressed with ps3 numbers. yes they had great bundles this black friday and i believe last year was not so great but still, the market is so much down this year so even an increase is super great.

VGC is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wrong this time... HEAVY UNDERTRACKED!!!

I doubt we have amazon numbers and they had the biggest bundle for the vita so that could be the difference

This is even more interesting: "In Latin America, which isn’t included in the sales figures provided, PlayStation 3 saw a staggering 200% year-over-year growth."


WOW ps3 dominates everywhere else of the world except for USA.

So, PS3 sales probably around 800k worldwide, right?
