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)

That's a little drastic, don't you think?  It doesn't really matter if the Vita outsells the 3DS, just as it didn't matter that the PSP outsold the DS.  The fact that Sony has even been able to make place for itself in a market only Nintendo succeeded in previously, while also making a profit, is probably good enough for Sony.  Of course, we have yet to see how the Vita fares in other parts of the world.  Or even how well the 3DS will continue to do once the holiday season is over.  Plus, Sony is most likely going to drop the price a little around the holiday season in 2012, which will definitely boosts sales quite a bit.  As far as those sites go, the more sensational your story is, the more hits you get.  And that means more money.
