The Vita's pre-orders are lacking! Is this going to be a problem for Sony?

One factor might be that the 3DS had only like 8 launch games against 26 for the PSVita.

yep exactly..pretty much all those games have a good following in Japan..I expect good sales for Sf vs Tekken Vita for example, when it launches

and another point would be digital sales for Vita games...Vita with it's PSN integration will give more consideration for digital content than the 3ds. and also Vita is launching with some good 'free' games as well. Namely a new Badman and a AR based tank game

Thanks for stopping by and clarifying some things for us M.u.G.E.N! Glad we have someone who knows all about the Vita here.

you said something about some sort of pre-order limit? 

yeah the initial preorder limits at many places were sold out within hours. andriasang and kotaku had some articles running on it.

That was when they initially had pre-orders in October. Even then you could find the 3G version for pre-order. About 3 weeks ago or so they opened up pre-orders for the wifi version again as well. It's not hard to pre-order if you want one.

hence the word 'initial' ..obviously they would add more to it by now. and at the time a lot of major outlets in japan reported sold outs. I remember reading one which was sold out within an hour or so. my point is the demand is there and it's strong ...but the issue is lack of japan centric popular launch titles. But if you compare the launch line ups overall PSV absolutely kills the 3ds line up..I'm frankly not sure what this 'drought' scottie is talking about :S
