Forums - Sales Discussion - PSP LT sales indicates that psv is heavily overtracked now due to the huge adjsutment up of april! While previously, Vgc wasn't really undertracking it or maybe it was overtracking it moderately!

I want to see action on this just for posterity.

For reference, how long did the campaign to revise up the PSV go?

To be honest, I sincerely doubt Nintendo will ship half a million or more Wii U units in Q2 FY2015.

This adjustment would shift the PSV down to 10.5 million or so.

So, don't expect it to be over Vita - if it's adjusted - until Q3 FY2015 (Q4 2015) ends.

Numbers just in, and we got 720k Wii U shipped in Q2 FY 2015, so quite a bit above 500k and at 10.73 total shipped.

Which would mean both are more or less equal in sales right now if adjusted down.

Shhhh..... the wiiu will never catch up to, or pass the vita, remember? One thing I do find funny, the two lowest selling systems ever, have one thing in common: the 2 dumbest names in history. Coincidence? I don't think so.

well its choosing between the PSP defeating the GBA or Vita sold less...

To "defeat" something, you have to be in direct competition with it.  Nintendo DS was already on the market (November 21, 2004 - NA, December 2, 2004 - JP) when the PSP released (December 12, 2004 - JP, March 24, 2005 - NA), and therefore was its 7th gen competition.  The PSP was never at any time competing directly against the by then 4 year old 6th gen GBA.  Since the DS sold 154 million+ units, saying the PSP defeated something hardly applies.  The proper term to use would have been "surpassing".  If you think I'm nitpicking grammar, just ask yourself does it make more sense to say that Vita defeated Game Gear, or surpassed its lifetime sales?
