Vita sales is the talk of the week, started to get boring.

Agreed.  We at least gave the 3DS a month or 2 after it was released before we declared it do0med.   

I say we give the same benefit to the Vita.  At least let it launch in the other regions first.

This was not because of altruism on the part of some camp, that was simply because the 3DS' second week in Japan was over 200k. Had the 3DS second week in  Japan been 70k, I am absolutely certain it would have been declared do0med right then and there (especially by some of those presently rationalizing in various forums current Vita sales as ok).

That said, while these Vita second week sales ARE very bad 2nd week sales numbers, especially given the season,  there is no reason whatsoever to declare Vita doomed.

I agree Vita sales are HORRIBLE!!! Despite what people here think many analyst (forbes and such) are already saying it's a bomb.  Even IGN a stout Vita supporter said sales were horrible!!! It's headed the same path as the HP touch pad if sales in North America doesn't become a success and outsells 3DS first week sales!!! (my opinion)

Well I disagree on the bomb part, and that some analysts say it is a bomb is meaningless, they also said that about the 3DS. While Vita may become a bomb eventually, there is really no way to know right now. And we really don't know about NA and EU sales yet, the Vita may end up performing better there, just because it didn't in Japan (yet)  doesn't mean it won't do better elsewhere, there are too many unknown/untested facors at play.
