Sony did not advertise well in America. Outside of the gaming core, most people werent even aware of what the Vita was, let alone when it was coming out. My roommates, who are both 20 something males who play lots of video games, didnt even hear the name PS Vita until Taco Bell ran an advert to win one every 15 minutes. When I explained to them what it was, I got this, "Another PSP? Or a new system? Why is this the first I am hearing of this?" This is obviously a small sample size, but I am an Electrical Engineer, I work with people who sink 1000s of hours a year into video games, I was the only one at my company who was aware of the launch date of the Vita, again, just not advertised well.
