I think the Vitas real first week numbers are gonna surprise a lot of people.

One way or the other I think you will be right ... With my personal observations I'm betting that sales are going to be worse than most people expected; but I'm the first to admit that anecdotal evidence is not particularly reliable when it comes to sales.

I was in Walmart on launch day because I needed to pick up a few things and I wanted to see how many units were still in stock, and when I looked at the PS-Vita display case there was 22 units inside of it. Being that this was the same Walmart I bought my 3DS at, and knowing they had 30 3DS systems on launch day, 22 units in the display made me doubtful that they sold that many units. I was back in the same store today (because I needed to pick up a few things and I wanted to see how many units were still in stock) and there were still 17 units in the display case. While I don't know how many units were delivered on launch day, I don't know whether they added units to the display case between my visits, and I know this can't be generalized, I have just been left with the impression that sales are probably not that strong.
