What a terrible comparison.
Anyways, are you saying that Vita sales are reasonable?

It's not a "terrible comparison" because that's exactly what this is. Everyone here keeps passing their 2 bits on how Sony could improve their position- exactly the same way fans of a team argue they can do better than the manager, but what they don't know is what goes on behind the scenes, what's being planned. They just look at the instance and call "end of the world" the same thing happened with the ps3, it happened with the 3DS. Look how those ended up.
Do I think the sales are reasonable? As I've said before and will say again..."I neither know or care." I'm in no position to judge what's best for them, because I don't know the first thing about running a business.

I'm not saying Vita is doomed but we don't have to be business men or know what's going on nehind the scenes to know that it is not doing well in regards to software and hardware sales right now. We have tons of handhelds to compare it to.
We don't have to be business men to know what's best for them either. They need software that will move their hardware .
With 3DS we knew the games like Mario Kart, MH and 3D Land were coming. With PS3, they at least had good 3rd party support thanks to hardware parity with Xbox 360 and the momentum of PS2. Even PSP had Monster Hunter.
The only thing Sony really has for Vita is an AC and COD and we're not sure if those can do for a handheld what they do for consoles.
I'm not sure why you seem to be in such denial. There is no doubt that Vita is in a bad position at the moment.

I'm not sure what I'm "denying" seeing as I've said I don't know anything. From where I stand, If I had a product and it sold 10k a month, I would be happy, talk less about 40k why? Because I don't know anything about business or what's good/bad.
Although I do know this, the so called experts on here always appear to be shortsighted. They look at the now and think it's the end of the world but never at the long term.
I remember saying the 3DS was not "doomed" but was willing to admit I knew nothing about business.
So everyone said I knew nothing.
I predict AC and COD and BR will come out and will all go by without much of a kick in Vita's ass, next year will come, more games will come and the stack will begin to build until people finally realise that wait...the Vita actually has a list of good games, maybe after a price cut I'll get one.
I've said it once, I'll say it again "There is no magic bullet", in my opinion, you need several bulletS

You're in denial because you aren't willing to admit Vita isn't selling well. You keep talking about 'not knowing anything about business', when it's a simple matter of looking at the sales of previous handhelds through-out history.
For Vita to be successful long-term it needs 3rd party support and Sony themselves said recently they are having difficulty getting 3rd party support for it.
I already adressed how Vita is in a different position than how 3DS was a few months after it's launch.
This holiday season will determine Vita's future success, not next year. If it can't start taking off, then how will third parties feel confident in investing in it? By their recent comments Sony seems to be relying on the success of AC and COD to bring in other 3rd parties.
You can stay in denial if you want, but the reality is Vita is selling badly at the moment.
