Compare whatever you want, but keep your expectations realistic. Nintendo handhelds have always dominated the competition. PSP was the only one that survived and that was becasue of Monster Hunter, something that Nintendo now has exclusively on the 3DS. If Vita ever recovers from this horrible launch, it will be years from now. It wont' happen overnight like you keep expecting it too.

it did get close this week btw.

3DS = 77k
Vita = 60k

This is as close as Vita has been to 3DS sales in like the past year. It's especially good considering there's no significant release this week.(I don't consider the 2 releases from this week system sellers). But you keep saying the price cut should have pushed Vita sales much more so I guess you're disappointed. I can't change your opininion so let's move on.

Youre really annoying me now with this straw man. Stop putting words into my mouth. I never said it would "recover over night" and I certainly dont expect it to. I expected the Vita on pricecut week to atleast put up a fight against its nearest competitor, especially with a new game out. 60k was the very lowest I expected. ON PRICECUT WEEK. Thats it. Stop your rubbish.

17k? Its a significant number. You could increase Vita sales by 20% and it wouldnt be higher than 3DS. Its not close.

Same here. You brought up how the 3DS sold 200k on price cut week...why would you bring that up? Because you expected Vita to do similar numbers. Which is unrealistic, since this is Vita which sold 11k units the week before. Vita did put up a fight against the 3DS on price cut week. 17k is a measly difference and much better than it was a few months ago when 3DS outsold Vita 20 to 1. That's it. Stop YOUR rubbish.

You seem to be the only one with unrealstic Vita expectations. So get your expectations down, it's going to take years for Vita to put up a fight on a weekly basis.
