1I really don't get the point of the title then, nor the point of OP. And if you look at Kowen's graphs, it's pretty clear that the 3DS beat the Vita in sales even pre pricedrop, unless you're using the fake aligned launch trends. 2To each his own I guess. 3It's either this thread is pointless, or my conjecture is correct. Either way, I don't think you have a realistic understanding of what success constitutes. |
1. The point of the OP is exactly as it was written. To highlight a little silver lining on the Vita situation. "It isn't as dire as it seems". I mean, that was a line taken directly from the OP. Yes, yes, I understand from all the upstanding people in this thread that Vita took longer, and I know the graphs upon graphs upon graphs, but again, for the fourth time, try to look at it this way: The Vita has managed to hold on without a price drop to a point further than Nintendo allowed 3ds to go.
Obviously Nintendo could've gone for far longer without a price drop, while simultaneously beating the vita in sales. It's lowest week was 40k, and that was the week right before an announced price drop. Vita has seen many weeks at mid 20k. I know the facts already.
2. Why the need for little quips like this?
3. Or you're setting up another little catch-22 for yourself, like you did in the last thread when someone told you to your face, that you misinterpreted the OP. Here's the truth: Your conjecture is wrong, AND the thread is not pointless.
If the Vita can reach and surpass the 3ds in sales based on a period of time judged by a price drop, then there is hope for it yet. Why? Because it demonstrates that while not having the same amount of demand, there actually is still a good amount of demand for it.
3.2 million 3ds' were sold at 250$ with no competition and 3.5 million Vitas were sold at 250+memory card, and some sold at 300+memory card when its main competitor dropped to 179$ upon release day. Don't you think there is some strength in that?
