Part of me thinks that since the PS3 is picking up in sales the past few years, the PS fans got some of their confidence back from the glory PS2 days.

But then here's the Vita, the one piece of hardware that's holding back the PS fans from true greatness. This isn't about games, this is about bragging rights. As long as Vita struggles, they can't say with 100% confidence that Sony is a God again.

PSP never did well even when the real God of gaming (PS2) was the market leader.  Home and portable are entirely different monsters.  Look at Nintendo.  They lost home console market with N64 and Gamecube but their handhelds remained dominant in those years.


Ok. Now I see the problem. Your idea of what success means is fucked up. The PSP is a major success. 1st place isn't a must to be successful. Unless you think the 360 and PS3 are definitly failures and that there's no arguing that. 75Million units is nothing to laugh at. It doesn't matter what the competition did, what matters is what the product did for the company. The PSP sold great for the support that it got, brought in profit and established SONY as a major contender in a new market for them.

"Vita will never be super successful and we need to accept that."

Sounds like you're the one that needs to accept that. Your idea of success seems to mean 1st place and 100M units. Gilgamesh is the only one expecting this of the Vita.
