No, it's not a big game. That's the problem. Vita has no AAA games.

I find it funny how you keep using 3DS to compare Vita sales and decide if they're good or not. LOL. Not only is this a Nintendo handheld, but it is dominating the Japanese market. Expecting Vita to match, or worse, surpass the 3DS, is extremely unrealstic. The demand for the PSP was always lower than the DS. The demand for Vita will always be lower than the 3DS. 

60k is impressive for a "dead" handheld with no major 3rd party Japanese support. No Monster Hunter, No Mario, No Pokemon, No Final Fantasy, No Resident Evil...etc..etc.(Basically all the major Japanese IP aren't on the Vita, but they are on the 3DS)

In the last 3, maybe 4(?) Years... The PSP outsold the DS on a regular basis in Japan.

60k would be impressive, if you really thought it was dead. I didnt.

Like it or not, the 3DS is the Vita's direct competitor. They will be compared. Thats that. If you dont like it, tough shit. Thats just the way it is.

I never said you shouldn't compare them, I said you shouldn't expect Vita to to outsell the 3DS. Vita doesn't need to outsell the 3DS to be successful. If the Vita keeps selling at the rate it sold this week....I'd say that would be great. But sales will drop over the next few weeks. You need to have realistic expectations for Vita. it's first year was handled horribly and it will have a tough time recovering from that, if it ever.
