So quiet here o.O


Most of us have already accepted the Vita's fate :(

lol, it's a tbone thread, Vita doom threads are like porn to him!

@Arius: Vita is only just beginning a cycle and Sony's cycles are known to be longest out of all companies. Look at how powerful it is; at the rate Nintendo improves their hardware, Vita will likely have enough power to compete with a next gen system. Also, power doesn't seem to matter much, the Vita just needs to be kept afloat and getting price drops until it gets lucky with an accidental killer app.


How is this a dooms thread? I made this thread before the holidays and Vita has GE2+Vita TV and West had the price cut 1st Holiday and great bundles. Not my fault its down -_-

Oh cuz its a vita thread thats why its doomed, how could i forget lmao

lol! I'm just not sure this years' efforts on the Vita can match 2012's'. Last year we had exclusive COD and AssCreed, both with bundles and White Vita, all that stuff. This year we get VitaTV, GE2, FFX very late, most stuff is JP only and Tearaway that is a new IP and might not have much casual appeal. There's also competition from new consoles that steal the spotlight and might cannibalize some sales.

I know, it's not a pointless thread (mostly joking about your threads), Vita has a chance to beat last year but I'm a bit skeptical about it. It might not happen.


I swear there were like 3 threads with statements that vita this year would outsell last years numbers with ps4 connectivity+ the reasons i mention above. Even Michael-5 10 week prediction thread shows everybody expected 1.5mil-3mil for the holidays! I didn't know it would be off from last year. 

I do get you though, i knew COD+Madden was out last holiday but i thought Europe and especially Japan with GE2+Vita TV would take off! It was an 89k Debut (japan GE2/VitaTV) and i thought it would hold 40k-50k next 2-3 weeks then increase due to holidays but it dropped hard (not the handheld but vita tv!)

Loking at the OP its pretty good! Only thing that looks low is BF 2013. But you never know. It needsi think another 1.2mil-1.5mil to be up YoY
