Fact of the matter is, you could not walk into a retailer/online and put down $250 and come out with a Vita before Feb 22nd thus, anything before that is not "launch". That is the launch price and launch date. If you're going to be semanticy about it, then shouldn't the global launch have been when Japan launched since it is region free and everyone could import it? I would think the same logic implies if you want to call the FEB a "soft launch." As for launch numbers, logically, anyone who bought the Vita First Edition Bundle would have bought the Vita on the first week of launch if there was no such bundle. Hell, most of them are paying a $100 premium for a case and the ability to get it a week early, thus, it is implied that 99.99999999999999% of them would buy it first week if there was no such bundle. So I say week ending Feb 25's numbers + FEB numbers = total launch numbers. |
haters gonna hate, IMHO these are pretty good numbers considering the damn system didnt even have an OFFICIAL launch. It put it above DS, PSP and WIi, now that not much of an accomplishment against PSP and DS but im surprised its above the Wii considering its much more expensive and wasnt even available everywhere
