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.

If we make the assumption that the PS-Vita has sold 2.5 million units and there is 18 weeks left in the year.

To make 8 million it would need to average (roughly) 180,000 per week until November and 450,000 per week after that; which doesn't seem possible.

To make 6 million it would need to average (roughly) 110,000 per week until November and 300,000 per week after that; which seems possible but unlikely.

To make 4 million it would need to average 50,000 per week until November and 125,000 per week after that; which will certainly happen.


I'm thinking it will average 200k for the rest of the year and just sneak past 6 million. And if it can keep some good momentum with Soul sacrifice and Dragons crown in the spring I think sony can cut the price and officially "save it".
