| Jumpin said: I think it is erroneous to think that the Vita will average at 90K a week for the rest of the year. First of all, Sony's strongest handheld market is Japan where it is currently selling 10K a week, so it will probably even out at a lower number than 10K in the US and in Europe; sales will probably be under 30K most weeks this year. |
90K a week is an average, Vita will sell lower than that but it will also sell higher than that later this year. This average makes sense and I'm rounding down. In Japan they are still buying PSPs, 19k just this last week and software keeps coming out and selling well. Once that starts to slow down and when people opt to buy Vita's instead that 19k will shift, not entirely but it will boost Vita sales there. Look at DS sales compared to 3DS sales in Japan, sure there isn't a backwards compatibility issue but it's still crazy to see how little DS is selling now. The same will happen to PSP, I'm guessing this year but maybe it will still sell till next year. You can't base other regions sales solely on the sales of another region. Japan's Vita sales are much lower than would be normal, other countries could easily outsell Japan until they pick up.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
