I can see myself bumping this thread in 5 years.

I say 25-40m maximum.


Ok, just keep in mind I'm always right ;P


but you are already wrong.

You said lets say it averages 4m per year.  It isnt.  The last rolling 12 months is about 2.7m.

lol I was just joking with him XD

As far as what you are saying you ar 100% accurate.  I was including total WW figures rather than shaving off 3 months of Japan.  My prediction still stands at a 4m average per year though.  It may sell 2-3m this year but for a lifetime I expect 4m on average.  I expect the console to have a long life cycle.  with a 3.5m average it would most likely make it to 35m if they support it and dont abandon it.  Let me ask, how much do you think it will sell yearly once it has a few system sellers and around $180 

P.s. i dont own a vita so im not trying to justify my purchase like other vita members on this site.

If a price cut doesnt happen very soon then price cuts wont matter.  Even if its average raises to 4m it wont sell 40m.  It aint lasting 10 years.

peak annual sales could be as high as 6m, but 40m isnt happening

I'm not just saying price cuts now am I?  I'm pairing that off with system sellers.  A console at 180 or 300 will sell nothing without games.  It needs games before it can sell well.  The two paired together is what will raise numbers.  For expample, hypothetically let's say monster hunters or Metal Gear Solid got announced at E3 this year then you would see a spike in sales for the Vita right?  That is at a $300 pricepoint.  Now that it has two system sellers people are paying attention.  Then next year they give it a price cut, and people are like hmm I want that monster hunters game and Metal gear solid so the sales spike again.  As of right now a price cut wont do it much good because it doesnt have a system seller. Afterwards though is a different story
