I'm conflicted on how I feel about the launch numbers...
On one hand, it sold over 300k in all three regions and fell just shy of what a Nintendo handheld did in its first week (about 140k less).
However, on the other hand, Vita's launch numbers had the benefit of the holidays in Japan, had far better launch games, and still didn't top 3DS' numbers at the same price.
Very curious to see how it does in the coming weeks. If the numbers drop in the West the way they did in Japan, Vita's in for a very rough time with no WW killer app even announced so far, no price drop in sight, and a 15m+ lead for its competitor.
