I think in January 2013 VITA will have sold around 9-10 million. Posibly a pricecut in september, coupled with a Call of Duty, Assassins Creed and Bioshock games, for Japan some games like FF X HD and it will sell like crazy.


The Bioshock game for Vita was on its pen & paper status in January. After the low Vita sales I think it got canceled along with other games.

Call of Duty will go to 3DS too (even the DS got CoD-Games) so it will be nowhere near an system seller on Vita.

From the AC-game we don't see a single screen shoot. The 3DS-AC game canceled after the mediocre sales after launch, the Vita sales are much worse, so what do you think happenend with the Vita-AC? We will see only a AC and Bioshock game for Vita if Sony is willing to pay much money for these.

They were talking about Bioshock Vita back in E3 2011, just becoz of low sales don't mean it got canceled. Especially not if you hear how excited Ken Levine is in interviews about the PSV version. Call of Duty will be big on Vita, it will have console like graphics, a 2nd analog stick, the same online experience on the consoles with voice chat with your friends and possible cross multiplayer with PS3 or some connectivity. The DS or 3DS has neither of that, it doesn't even have a friendlist so don't compare how a CoD can be on the Vita with that on the DS/3DS, Ive seen the graphics of the latest CoD on those machines, it looked like the first Doom lol.

"You're not much use to me alive, are you, Turkish?"

First off, 3DS does have a friends list.  I have almost 100 people on my friends list!  It tells you when your friends are online, tells you what they are playing, and in the case of Mario Kart, lets you join them instantly.  Second, even the DS let you use the mic to talk to people.  The 3DS has a built in mic so the potential is there, too.  On top of that, how hard would it be to make a headset for the 3DS?  And weren't there great home console FPS games last gen?  The 3DS isn't on par with the Vita in terms of graphics but it can easily pull of anything the Xbox/Gamecube/PS2 was doing. It's not the DS!   Would a COD game with Halo 2 graphics on a portable really be a bad game?  Heck, with the 3DS, you have the Circle Pad Pro that gives the device a second analog AND four shoulder buttons.

Personally, I'll probably end up buying the Vita version of anything multi-plat and I know the Vita's online and graphics are much better than what the 3DS offers but c'mon, man.  Don't just bash the 3DS for no reason.
