As YOY sales of the Playstation Vita begin to drop into unforseen levels and with the absolute lack or interest for that matter of Sony themselves in developing any significant software for the platform, the question now to be asked is "will PS Vita manage to pass ltd numbers of the Sega Gamegear"?
|
PLaystation Vita will be up this year and has finally started tracking ground in Europe and Japan, it Will easily beat the Sega Gamegear and most likely double the sales.
|
What compelling software does the Vita have coming this year that will cause it to break the trend of 70% sell through declineYOY and double in sales as you've predicted? In my opinion 2012/2013 lineup (although sparse) seemed more attractive as a gamer and yet sales have declined.
|
Not all movements have to be western nor software driven, I'm lost how you think the Vita will struggle to sell 3-4 million more units Lifetime.
|
It's very easy to calculate. Based on the fact that Vita has less compelling software announced for this year than the previous 2 years, one can fairly assume that sales will continue to decrease. With a price cut, the vita still managed to sell less that 30% in it's second year than 1st. If this trend continues (which is highly likely) and is just nearing the 10 million mark by mid 2015, do you really believe they won't scrap it?
|
Vita sold 15% less and the price drop came late, the same drop off will still see it pass 10 million by the end of 2014, the 2014 line up in Europe and japan is looking better than 2013.. not sure what you mean the line up is lookign weaker.

Where are you getting 15% from ????? Your halfway there,lol. If we take the sales figures from Dec 2011, and Feb 2012 - Jan 4th 2013, the Vita sold 4.25 million units within that time frame (less than a year for WW sales). From Jan 4th 2013 - Jan 5th 2014 it has only sold an additional 3.02! If we calculate the percentage that brings us to 29% (I rounded to 30).
Please, advise me what games in your mind are more compelling than the 2012/2013 lineup for the Vita. I'm interested to know.
