lmao, Fail moment on my part >_< Not trying to put down the Vita but only 86k up? I thought it was far beyond that. All the Software its getting now. Vita should easily start beating 2013 #s cuz didn't vita drop back down one more time to under 10k... I think July/August? Vita has some pretty big games coming. |
Yes, and it was easily beating 2013's numbers and then price cut month happened. That eroded a fair bit of the gap.
Like you say, it's baseline is higher now and Vita didn't start hitting reliable numbers (bar the odd blip here and there for things like Toukiden) again until whenever the price cut was (October?) so it should start chipping away again.
In addition, while it has received a lot of good software recently, that software has either been: a) sequels to games already on the platform (i.e. Miku 2; Soul Sac 2; Phantasy Star 2); b) multi-plat with PS3 (i.e. J-Stars; Super Robot Wars; Samurai Warriors) or c) stuff focused at the fanbase already on the console (i.e. Neptunia; Atelier; Deception).
There hasn't exactly been a lot of system-shifting software. Some big games, but mostly all with things attached that stop them being big system sellers. I never really got all the people claiming "it'll be up loaaddddsss year on year!" because the software lineup, while strong, didn't indicate to me something that would draw in a lot of new people.
