| VGKing said: Look at Vita sales last week, now look at Vita sales this week. That's a big increase that needs to be celebrated. Vita has been called dead for months now and at least in one region, it is selling in reasonable amounts. Yes it is selling lower than the 3DS, but that is expected. No one is/was expecting Vita to ousell the 3DS IN ANY REGION. Are you implying that this Vita price cut was supposed to increase sales past 100k or something? Was there some huge AAA game releasing last week as well? That answer to both of these is NO. I'm sure sales for this week are within Sony's expectations expetations. I know they blew away mine. |
Whats your point? Sales jumped from 28k WW to 82k WW after a significant pricecut in the handheld region. It also had a new game release that sold 120k.
It isnt selling reasonable amounts. It sold alright, in the week of a pricecut. Theres a long way to go yet. If sales stay high for ~8 Weeks and onwards... THEN it will be something to "celebrate". Sales increasing to 60k in Japan for one week is a drop in the ocean. Yeah, ~80k in JP would have been good. 60k is the minimum Id take it. Hoping for anything less than that would be beyond bad. If 60k "blew away" your expectations, then its quite obvious that you set them low to avoid disappointment.
Now tell me what damage control was there.
