Um......it sold 260 000 units

The Vita sold a grand total of 0 units.

Does the concept of a head start really elude people still? Its a free pass to gain ground on the competition.

Ground on the competition? So fans can boast about some measly numbers maybe.

Should 3DS fail to sell developers will probably start shifting their titles towards the iPhone and/or XBLA and PSN.  It's not like "hey, it's all fine since there's no competition so titles will come to it with it's headstart", if that's what you thinking.

Ground on the competition.

For fans to brag whos the winner and whos the loser. For corporations to get a bigger market share.

But for us, especially since Sony is making the worst decision imaginable (not releasing in NA/Europe this holiday), the install base will look pretty big after the holidays compared to the Vita. 

Its just economics. You commit handheld games to the guy with the bigger install base.
