The notion that a console has to be a break out sucesss is a fallacy. It's a slow burner but over the years it will pick up and become a successful product for sony much like the ps3 and the psp before it.

Well, it depends on the state of the company. For Nintendo it was important for the 3DS to be successful immediately to offset the development costs of Wii U. It did okay initially -- better than the Vita has done -- but it wasn't as successful relative to the needs of the company. So for Nintendo, the 3DS's slow start was not an acceptable level of sales, while for Sony, the Vita's even slower start is acceptable.

Sorry, but that makes no sense.

3DS was a failure innitially because it didn't matched its forecasts (they had to be cut).

Vita is a failure because it won't match it's forecasts. 3 times, probably.

There's nothing acceptable in this. It's very simple. There's no personal theories here.
