I disagree with some here... it isnt too early to say

It just isnt going to happen.

Sony managed to sell 60 MILLION PS3s despite the $599 launch price.

I think Vita has a chance  to outsell the 3DS. Not now, not in 6 months. Let's see where Vita sales stand in 18-24 months compared to 3DS.


It is  100% guaranteed that the gap between the two will be bigger than what it is now in 24 months. I think that ship has already sailed. Maybe after  Vita becomes cheaper it may close the gap.

Exactly... I dont think some people understand how simple mathematics works

It will be behind almost each and every week for the next 24 months... almost guaranteed.  Therefore it will be a loooooong way behind by then.

and remind me.... how long did that $599 launch price stay for?  8 months was it and then it was cut by 20%.  I dont see a $50 cut for thr PSV before Christmas.

The gap is about 15 million now, isn't it? Even if 3DS stops selling today it would be difficult for Vita to outsell it in 18 months. It isn't likely that 3DS stops selling today.

I am not that negative about it though. It is a great device and hopefully with good word of mouth it will perform similar to PSP. Unlike many, I think PSP did good. Vita needs to move more software of course.
