Well it will be a LONG way behind by the end of April.

It sold 1.3m from 1st Jan to the end of April 2012. It will be lucky to be at 1/2th of that this year. so unless something changes then it wont beat 2012.

Price cut will change everything of course.

I was pretty much spot on.  About 500k behind by April I said.  Wnt improve much either. In fact it will get worse before it gets better.

Actually you basically said 650K behind (half of that). Hmm, so far (end of march):

Vita 2012: 1,038,233

Vita 2013: 606,815

gap: 431,418

So far you about right, although the Vita does a bit better than you expected. And you were absolutely right about the pricecut. That has a pretty good effect so far, and it will be interesting how much it sells in Japan as new baseline after the dust settles. That may be well double of the sales of last year. If that is the case, the pricecut (+games) should be applied to the west too.
