Let's also consider the fact that the PSP had a LOT of initial hype. It was at a time when the DS was floundering, Sony ruled the market, and the Playstation line of products could do no wrong. The PSP launched to 400k in the U.S. alone and moved plenty of early games. It had its own South Park episode based on it. The Vita doesn't have any of these benefits and now its launching against the fastest selling system of all time.

The Vita is an incredible product and I believe it will do well, but I believe it will struggle against the 3DS for a while until it finds its niche. Hopefully Sony focuses on profitability and can at least view the Vita as a financial success.

But yet, the vita still sells units similarly to the psp. Sure it's under, but not by a lot.

PSP during DS flailing and PS domination sells 400k and goes on to 60m.

Vita during the strongest competitor ever during a time when PS is flailing, sells 380k adn goes on to sell ?

Your confusing 3DS numbers with Vita

Vita did not sell more than 3DS at launch day in a holiday period and kept on going down compared to PSP. Now the total sales are the same but PSP kept on selling just under a 100k while Vita took a huge dip compared to launch
