Didn't Jack T want 500k in the first 3 weeks in the US for Vita?

Most of us commented... well thats a low estimate it will easily make that.

It will be about 300k to 315k... these are poor numbers pure and simple.

I think Sony is trying to sweep that one under the rug, as it were

In his defense, it's not that he said his goal was to sell that, but that he would be pleased if it sold that.

Anyway, this was about japan's launch, where they sold more or less 500k in 3 weeks.  The real quote of the interview is in one of my posts in that same thread - he was just telling people that the japanese launch was not as bad as people are telling. I agree, the subsequent weeks are the ones that are terrible.

And it shall be in subsequent weeks where the battle is won or lost. If it drops to below 25k in America before E3, then Sony are in REAL trouble. 

Because then you're looking at 25+30+9= 64k WW. Which is horrid for a console mere months after launch.

 

I'm not saying this will happen, but Sony need to do something to prevent something like this.

I agree, but 3DS dropped to 15k in USA so 25k for Vita would actually be pretty good :D

Yes, but I doubt Sony will cut the price of the Vita, or at least not as heavily.

 

What was the 3DS' lowest week? 65k area I'd imagine. Whatever it is, I'd imagine Vita will be hovering around it before too long.
