Gamers in the West don´t seem too willing to embrace a handheld that´s full of home console like games...Japanese gamers, since they´ve been leaving home consoles behind in favor of handhelds, seem more willing to buy and play handheld games that would be better suited to the big screen.

So, a handheld that´s too focused on home console like games probably won´t do so hot in the West.

Wut? Vita sales are much better in the West than in Japan based on weekly numbers....if you're looking at lifetime, remember that it launched in Japan back in  December.

The Vita is only in its fourth week in the Western markets, so it has yet to stabilize. Also, based on the size of the American and European market, the Vita should sell at least at twice the rate as in Japan.

This is also why 3DS sales outside of Japan need to be considered poor at the moment.

The 3DS sales are doing fine. So are the Vita sales in the US and Europe right now, but they are dropping very quickly, just like they did in Japan. The sales will eventually stabalize, but the number of sales wont be very good. Probably around 10k in each territory per week.
