If the launch lineup was better, then Vita would have sold more in its first japanese week (ie a holiday week) than the 3DS did in a non holiday week. it didn't, therefore the 3DS had better launch games.

The rest of the argument falls apart pretty easily from there. Sony is heading for the same dearth of software that will drive hardware sales in the first 3 months. 3DS will most likely outsell Vita, barring a price drop within the next month.

Vita's launch games are far better then 3DS

Then why did more people buy the 3DS is a non holiday launch week than bought Vita in a holiday launch week?

1. psp was less sucessful then DS (ie more nindendo fans)

2. Memory cards sold out for vita 

3. People tend not to buy stuff for themself around holidays and since vita launched barely a week before christmas alot of people probably held off

4. People waiting for firmware update before buying

5. 3DS dropping the price so quickly makes people think vita might so they hold off

6. Monster hunter tri port launch on 3DS

7. Has direct competition where 3DS had none. 

I think these points can easy explain a 50k difference
