Vita up YoY in US but thanks to major price cuts (vita tv). Vita TV might get discontinued soon, i think its tracking worse than psp go?

Japan its down by over 20% but things can change, who knows

Nope it is selling better without the the PSTV, NPD count them separatly

Even the regular vita, but it still up by a good amount. The thing is 2014 was so low it doesn't make it look that amazing (being up YoY)

We need to see how the next couple of months fair tbh

It certainly helps that stores in the US have actually had Vita units to sell this year. I wonder why Sony had such poor shipments last year. It was practically sold out until the Borderlands bundle, then that sold out and there was very little stock again.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Yeap, I think Feb-April it was terrible. Literally no stock intill may vita 2k model came out.

It'll be up YoY in US by alot ever month for awhile. If it doesn't that be very bad news. (not counting May because BL2 bundle debuted)

Definitely, though I don't expect it's renaissance to last too long. Not really that much hitting that I think will appeal to people who don't already own the thing in the US.

Continental Europe and the Middle East I think are the main places Sony still has the opportunity to shift a decent (relatively speaking) volume of hardware.

The Vita sold over 16mil, the Wii U sold 13.56mil. There's your answer.

He haven't posted since 2019 so I don't think you are going to get an answer. If I were to guess I would say that he meant sales that are confirmed by the console owners themselves instead of VGChartz's tracking.
