I will continue to say: PS3 and 3DS were both "doomed" for the first year or so of their existence...look where they ended up.

6 months is NOT enough time to determine if something is doomed. Seriously people, you are addicted to negativity and hatred.


Seems more like being realistic to me. Only a few people are rubbing their hands in glee.

3DS and PS3 were in much better situations than Vita is in now.

Acknowledging that the Vita is in a very bad spot isn't 'hatred'. Ignoring it and just being positive, like you've suggested , isn't going to change that.

No, being realistic would be to wait and see what happens instead of assuming that a poor start means it's doomed.  You'd have to be addicted to pessimism or be flat out hateful to WANT it to fail.  Either way, it's dumb to jump on the anti-Vita bandwagon. Sales or not, there's still a lot of years left in the system and it will probably end up at 50 million once Sony figures out how to make it work.  

It's public hatred and opinion that's making the system fail, becuase it's got tonnes of potential and is amazingly good overall.  again, the issue is the public and their desire to see it fail.  The rampant negativity helps people stay away, and the more people stay away, the more negative they want to be to justify their aversion.  It's a viscious circle, do break the circle and try being positive.  


I'm sorry, but I think you may be asking a little much in that department. Those who discuss numbers work with what is given and what is available through standard news channels and the like. Comparisons are made to other consoles and the like naturally, because they are consoles as well. To simply start getting irritated because people are discussing the very numbers that are available publically would make these forums awfully quiet. No one can see the future, thus people discuss exactly what is given to them. Debate ensues, predictions are made and life goes on. There are those who want to see it fail, but very few people here seem interested in outright seeing it fail.

It's also a little much to simply assume no fault at all on the part of Sony (their marketing, the memory card pricing, etc.) and to just lay the blame at the feet of anyone else who fingers can be pointed at. But simply saying that it's all the people's fault for 'public hatred' seems a bit debatable in it's reasoning. There are a lot of factors here, but don't get irritated because people are discussing tangible numerics that could actually affect the near and future gaming area.

EDIT: I type horribly sometimes.
