huh?

Align all the launches and the 3DS sold over 3 million in its first 20 weeks, the Vita 2 million, thats not comparable at all.

By the 30th week the 3DS was at 5 million, the Vita will be struggling to reach 2.5m.  

2.5m after 30 weeks for a new console is bad, for a handheld it is terrible.  

Yes of course it would sell more of it got a price cut and by saying that after such a short time you are kind of agreeing with some of the "haters".   Why should a console need a price cut so early?  The 3DS getting a price cut was embarrassing and financiallly very painful for Nintendo.  It is not the norm to cut a price so soon so why does anyone expect the Vita to get one?  I can think of one reason why.... its selling very badly.

I agree on the software aspect though, thats a subjective matter in any eveent and in any objective review the Vita software is no worse than any other new consoles.

aaand what was the ratio between the DS and the PSP?  about 2:1, which is about where this is looking to end up.  I don't think for a second that's all that bad, and if you think it is, your ability to see logic is jumbled up.  the PSP sold more than the Xbox 360, PS3, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Xbox, and the Genesis, making it the 7th highest selling of all time (though the Xbox 360 and PS3 are both likely to pass it).  Anyone arguing those numbers are bad is a fool.  If the Vita even makes 1/3 of what the 3DS does, it'll still end up over 40 million units, making it the second highest non-nintendo handheld. 

It's all about perspective.  

Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.
