All I insinuated is that the Vita managed to keep up sales to past a point where Nintendo deemed it appropriate. I didn't insinuate that any console is better than another. Yours is a strawman argument..you are arguing a point I have not made, but insist on telling me what my own point is based on conjecture and hidden messages.
Wake up.

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.

The main problem here is you used the wrong word. The Vita hasn't outlasted anything the 3DS has done. The Vita has survived. It's been comparable. It's lasted. There's a bunch of words to choose from, but you chose outlasted. By using that word, it skews your actual talking points because you've said the Vita has done better than the 3DS in at least one department, which it hasn't. A different title would have lowered the hostility in here I think.
Doing something 4 months later than something else isn't outlasting, it's holding on.

Yeah I totally see your point, but on the other hand, had I written survived, I'd feel as if I was being too subservient.
It just doesn't seem like that much of a trigger word. Sure, had some of the OP been written differently, or anti-Nintendo remarks been made subtly, then yes, I would agree....totally asking for it. From where I'm standing though, I don't see why I shouldn't address my fellow Vita fans by pulling out the white flags first. Don't you think it's a little cruel to expect that? Or am I looking at this the wrong way?
I feel like even when Vita hits 10m, or even if it passes a majority-agreed upon prediction of sales for FY2012, people will still retaliate because the OP dared to say that naysayers were wrong.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
