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).

You're not being generous, you're being wrong. Vita is down YOY in the west but up in Japan. It's ridiculous that you continue to ignore this.
Maybe it's because you have the wrong numbers? This site has lots of cool features. No need to bother with the weekly sales and LTD numbers. Just go here: http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_date.php?reg=Japan&ending=Yearly My numbers are correct, as far as VGCHARTZ goes.
With accurate numbers now, can you see why everyone is disagreeing with you?

I never stated you were wrong in claiming it was up in Japan. I gave you a perfect example as to how your numbers were completely off. Also I do not see how everyone is arguing with me or else you would see the usual brigade of Sony fans in here. There are only a couple of you with rose coloured glasses who are attempting and failing to debate this (that does not include those disagreeing with my opinion, just those who are arguing with the numbers).
I do not see how my numbers can be wrong if we are using the same source.
