I know most people have written off the Vita as a doomed system, but I still believe it can reach close to PSP numbers between the typical long lifespan of a Sony system, and it's potential to hit huge sales in japan where handhelds are dominant.

I see it kind of like the PS3; slow start, but plenty of long term potential.

i agree, but the thing needs to start turning around, and soon. the first year of the ps3 was rough but things did starting getting slighty better afterwords. the vita (specially in USA) is having a really really hard time. things need to change and soon

Well, it does have Soul Sacrifice and Killzone Mercenary on the way, the Japanese price cut has reportedly caused sales to surge, similar price cuts in the West could follow with similar success, and not to sound like a broken record, but Monster Hunter is all but an inevitability.

Japan will be the turning point; they LOVE handhelds, and they loved the PSP. With the right games, Vita could be huge in Japan.

vita could sell really well in japan i agree. this week it did 60K with the price cute, good sales but lets hope the sales stabilize at a good number. killzone is still half a year away, also killzone isnt really a huge system seller, the best selling killzone sold just a little less than 3 million. but hopefully more is to come. E3 cant come any sooner

Killzone could be the first truly good console-style FPS on a handheld, that could be a selling point in itself.

And I'm sure there is more to come; Sony have invested too much in the Vita to let it die. The support is coming.
