At what point would you consider Vita a success?

Anything more than the N64 or GCN.

why do people always abbreviate it GCN?  You are referring to the Gamecube right?

GameCube Nintendo. They can't use NGC because that's already taken by.. something. I can't remember off the top of my head.

National Geographic Channel .

Anyway, it should have 40m at the end of the gen. A number like that ensures decent software sales for a handheld (tie-ratio is always lower compared to home consoles) and should've covered R&D cost and the like. Still, it can only be called a success if it spawns a successor. Realistically, I'm not convinced it'll ever beat GC/XBox levels of sales and ends just under 20m. It will also likely be Sony's last portable. I don't want to be a nay-sayer and usually I'm more optimistic, but for the lack of a better word; it's 'doomed' to failure unless a miracle happens. Holiday sales as of now, except the 'just-above-mediocre' Black Friday sales aren't something to write home about.
