I was just looking at the 2012 Sales Predictions thread, and I noticed that everybody overestimated the vitas 2012 sales. At the moment it's looking like the Vita will just about scrape past 3.5 million units sold in the 2012 calander year according to Charks very accurate Vita 2012 Predicted Sales Chartz thread.

This means that the Vita will sell only 35% of what the VGChartz community expected in the 2012 Callander year given that the average prediction for the Vitas 2012 sales by VGChartz users was 10.12 million units. This isn't just a slight underperformance, this is a MASSIVE flop, and we need to talk about it. Whether the Vita fortunes can be turned around remains to be seen, but if I were Sony I would integrate memory cards with the vita consoles and give it a price cut ASAP.
