Well, maybe heavily bundles it could. But realistically, probably not. I say in the same ballpark as D/P/Pt.

How much will Vita do LT? 30 mil?

I'm going with top 15 and not the full library. Unlike the DS's insanely high install base, the 3ds can't manage a 15 mil+ seller currently. In a couple years though....



Currently own:

 

  • Ps4

 

Currently playing: Witcher 3, Walking Dead S1/2, GTA5, Dying Light, Tomb Raider Remaster, MGS Ground Zeros

PSP is over 75 million, so you'd expect the Vita to at least get near half that. Can't really say for certain until we see how it sells are the intial price drop (which I'm assuming comes in the next 5-6 months).

TBH i dont think we should compare psp and the vita, PSP was new, everybody liked it (especially wen i was in highschool) listening music, etc . Now Vita is very well made, no cutting corners around that, but wit a mixture of price, Tablets being around, and its game library nothing as good as 3DS's (also japan is worse, Ninty took there best franchise, MH) its nothing special. Even with a price drop to say $199.99? Even cheaper memory, during holidays it couldn't even pass a dying handheld (DS). This year 3DS wins easily, and if you want to talk about 2014 then dont forget SSB4 comes out, and we all kno even non nintendo users come and enjoy this game!



I say it will outsell the whole Vita Library in less then 6 months. And It will boost the 3DS quite a bit

Didn't the DS also outsell the 3DS?

Our argument also had nothing to do with whether or not the 3DS will sell well. He thinks Pokemon will buck a trend and sell unlike it has ever on one of the smallest userbases its ever had.

ok 1. DS sold over 3DS just one week, which suprised the **** out of me! 2. The userbase may be small but so was Diamond/Pearl on the DS (gen4) and it sold 18.04mil units!

So, you're expecting it to match Red/Green/Blue's sales?

Looking at sales again, Pokemon hasn't crossed 20 million in 14 years.

I'm counting on the Vita beinga stillborn platform.

So, you're hoping it ceases production early and dies around 10-12 million units?

Replace "hoping" with guessing, then, yea, pretty much.
