You're fixating on this 30% figure. That's not how it works. Break it up per market.

USA did 1.18 million in 2012 and 0.51 million last year. Dropping by the same percent predicts 0.22 million this year.

Europe did 1.45 million in 2012 and 0.92 last year. Dropping by the same percent predicts 0.58 million this year.

Japan did 0.67 million i 2012 and 1.29 million last year. Increasing by the same percent predicts 2.48 million this year.

 

Excluding other markets, that adds up to 3.28 just this year. It'd be up YOY actually.

When I was giving the 30% figure I was being generous. Historically, once the decrease begins for a console it does not tend to stop. There are annomalies but I do not beleive the PS Vita will be one of them. 

Your Japan numbers are incorrect as well my friend. From Dec 17th 2011- Dec 16th 2012 the Vita moved 1.07mill, whereas from Dec 16th 2012 - Dec 13th 2013 it sold 1.15 mill which is only a 7% increase YoY. If 2014 manages that increase rate the total would be 1.23 mill by Dec 2014 which in addition to your .22 in N.A and .58 in EU would total 2.03  (33.8% decrease from 2013).

2011(481,573)- 2012(3,674,466)-2013(3,116,056) ~ Thats not down 30%

First full year on the market! Considering E.U & U.S launched in Feb (which I still only went until January)

Hell, even if we go from Dec 17th 2011- Dec 15 2012 (again the other two markets didn't launch until 2 months later)3.82 mill against Dec 15-2012 - Dec 14 2013 2.94 mill, thats still a 23% decrease.
