This pool shows that the average vgchartz user has nothing in common with the average video games user. 25% voters already has a Vita, another ~25% is only waiting for a price drop to buy it, and ~20% is waiting for more games. Watching those results, everyone would reach to the conclusion that Vita is/will be a huge sales success, but we know it is completely false.

Another plausible explanation is that vgchartz users lie a lot. Pools in this forum are meaningless.

You sound surprised at this. Or upset, I can't tell. 

I'm not upset at all, I'm mostly amused that the difference is so huge. This should remember us that most users look for different things in a console than the average forum user, and Sony or any other manufacturer commits a huge mistake trying to please mostly the core users, as they are a small fraction of the complete userbase. Core users are the ones making more noise, but they aren't the ones who can make a console a sales success.

I did take what you said into consideration before even making this Poll. I realize the VGC userbase is not indicative of the entire market. Yet they are more indicative of people who already own a Vita and see themselves as Gamers. This would be the hardcore the Vita more so targets anyway. I think the data is still very useful(barring anyone is really lying).  It seems Sony is only tapping into a 3rd of immediate fanbase from the data. Which means with a few more big name titles and the inevitable price drop, Vita could be at 6-7mil already. Games of course are hard to quantitate due to different tastes but what HAS become apparent is that the # of games needed to sway a buyer in/decreases with the actual amount they Pay for the device(Meaning people demand from something they feel they spent a lot of money on).

So key point, a Price Drop would at its very least get Sony and the Vita out of the neck of the woods and put it on stable ground.
