When Sony stops (strongly) supporting the PS3 and move to the PS4 the Vita will start selling more, i think 35/40 million is a little more realistic. And factors as 3DS exclusives and PS4 pricing will also have a say in Vita's final numbers.

Can you explain that for me please.

Of course my dear *wink* haha -- You buy a console because of the games right? so if you can play the games you like on a console that you own there's no point in buying another one, see where i'm going? When the PS3 runs dry of new games and the only option to play your favorite's (<-is that gramaticaly correct?) Uncharted, Resistance, God of War, etc. is the PS4 ohh what could you posibily do? get a PS4 right? ohh but it's too expensive, maybe later when i've saved enough... oh but you have another option, one that is almost the same quality as the ps3 and it has God of War, Uncharted, Gran Turismo and all your beloved Sony ip's, it's $200 cheaper and fits in your pocket mmm... See? -- What i think is Sony's plan, they are not worried for Vita's current horrible numbers and that's because they have a plan, the vita is a handheld designed to sell like one, you cannot expect that a $250 handheld sells when YOU offer a better product for less, it's obvious what the average consumer is going to choose, now when you have a $199 handheld that competes in price (with 3DS) and you are aware that there are better experiences but for more money (Next gen consoles -$300 to $450/500 probably) you as a consumer feel that is more ''fair'' because now the lines betwen inferior (handhelds) and superior (consoles) are visible in the form of price and performance. Right now if you want a handheld you get a 3DS ($170 a lot of good games and the Nintendo brand behid it) if you WANT to get a vita because what you've seen atracts you when you realize that you can do a better inversion for virtually the same money (PS3/360 - Huge library + 1 year of strong support -or- Wii U revolutionary concept + 6 Years of support) you do the most intelligent thing. When Vita's only competition is the 3DS things will be a lot easier it all will just depend on the consumer. -|--|- To put it simple, if you value your money is a bad desicion to buy a Vita right now, but the wait will be worth for Sony and for the consumer too. Or at least that's what i think.

PS4 is 2 years away and you're already dooming it?
