Decided to give life to this old thread, especially since Sony just announced the NGP/Vita price. $249!! The exact same price as the 3DS. I'm going to have to change my prediction a little.

It seems Sony has bested my price prediction. With the Vita's price point + great 3rd party support + the 3DS not so stellar sales of late, I think Sony can get more of the market than my original prediction of ~50% (I was mainly thinking somewhere around the ballpark of 40%-48%). Now, I'm feeling pretty confident that Sony, if they continue with their Vita support, can actually be the first company to best Nintendo in the handheld market, claiming 60%-70% marketshare. What do you guys think?

oh man.......

See, that's the problem with the internet.  You predict silly things like this, and the internet NEVER forgets. 

Fun thing is that this was made about the same point in the 3DS's lifespan as the Wii U.  So, yeah.  Things can change relatively quickly.

But it's very simple to avoid this type of situation: DON'T MAKE PREDICTIONS if you don't want to risk looking silly.

Or make good predictions?
