WiiU will outsell vita this holiday (maybe not in lifetime but it'll have more sales). price cut didn't do crap in US+Europe cuz Sony didnt advertise it, Vita also doesn't have any AAA games coming especially since FF got push back to 2014. As for 3ds, it has 2ds and pokemon. It'll easily pass last year holiday due to only having paper mario and this year we have LoZ! We'll fnd out soon enough though am I right ?


I think that the price cut will be effective when Killzone and Tearaway hit the market, since they are western oriented. Price cut + game made Japan improve a lot for Vita. I'm counting more on a Wii U sales drop than a Vita sales improvement. PS4 actually helps Vita, while PS4 + One will probably hit Wii U real hard. Both have a stellar launch line up, heavy marketing, massive pre-sales, it will probably be a outstanding launch only limited by their supply. MS recent overclock on One shows that they are hitting a good production quality on APUs to allow that. PS4 APU is much easier to manufacture, so they will probably have a nice stock.

About 3DS and Pokemon, it's because I think it will have problems when PS4 and One launch. All eyes will be on the new home consoles and it will make some damage specially on NA.

Anyway, we are just some months away to know what happens. I'm curious about how PS4 and One will do, since there is no data about them (except the pre-sales).



okay i agree with Killzone/tearaway, dont kno why i forgot about those two. Here is the thing with 3ds though, it has a new model which is $130 which no matter how great X1 or PS4 is, you can buy 2 2DS and still not even come close to the price of the hom consoles. Another thing is pokemon wont be affected as much as you think for 2 reasons. #1 Different audience and being the best game (handheld king), there will be so many fans dropping $40 easier than $400 (more money actually wen you add a game/etc). #2 EVEN IF PS4/X1 was to interfere with sales, it doesn't mean much with Pokemon cuz it comes out a month before the new consoles. Same thing i feel gta5 wont be affected cuz of over 160mil user base and 2 months earlier than next gen consoles!!! Dont underestimate 2DS+Nintendo
