| leatherhat said: I just went and checked ps3's sales for its first holiday. And it averaged around 178k weekly without European sales. Its second holiday and first ww holiday it did significantly better averaging 326k from the middle of October to the end of the year. So thats what one struggling console did in its first holiday. And vita would need to average 300k from now til the end of the year to break 8 million worldwide. So lets discuss the likelihood of that. |
PS3s first holiday is really its 2nd. It launched with limited supply in November and was only in two markets.
Vitas first holiday will be this year with in in plenty of supply in every market. By now the PS3 was selling very well as compared to other first year consoles like the 360 all the while doing it at a $600 price point.
You really can't compare the two. PS3 was NEVER struggling in the same manner as Vita, not even close.
