To answer the Seece's question I want to say they both are probably at a tie. Shipments to the US for the quarter have pretty much been zero due to the phasing out of the 1000 model. Japan the strong point and Europe a toss up with anecdotal evidence (through the top 40 in the UK and other tallers) of lackluster shipments.

Thanks, great contribution. Didn't know about the phasing out of the 1000 model. I really hope Sony reveal Vita figures seperate from PSP this Q.

Basically what's in retail channels now is what there is. The LCD model will replace the original once all the original is sold out so if you want an OLED thats brand new, best get one sooner rather than later.

I highly doubt any stock was shipped in the West at all tbh other than the LCD units shipped to the UK because it appears they ran lower on OLED stock faster than planned.

As for separating Vita figures from PSP, I guess we need to wait until PSP sales dry up so much that combining them makes it look even worse than having them separate. Will Vita outship 3DS? Possibly, but I'd reckon only for 1 quarter (3DS had plenty of LEs in Japan lately) and in the grand scheme of things I don't think it'll mean anything.
