Fascinating, that's more then what the Wii U is suggested to have done in the US in a month... and yet i can't help but wonder how many of those sales were cannibalized by previous owners who just wanted the new model.


Handhelds are weird like that. My Aunt bought 3 separate Nintendo DS.

It's hard to think an improvement in hardware could make such a difference with new buyers.

And even then it's debatable if it's an improvement or not, considering the LCD screen (and longer loading times as someone said).

The steep sales drop prior to the release of the new model hints at many of the buyers being people who were going to buy Vita in the first place, but decided to wait for the new model

Edit: Already mentioned, but whatevs!

Still, hoping for the best.  The original PSP is the handheld that got me into handheld gaming in the first place.

Before hand i'd just play Pokemon games on my SNES and that was it for handheld gaming.
