Well, its not selling bad cause its not doing as great as the DS... Its selling bad (more like well) cause its selling half as much as the DS without any direct "competition." The DS at least had the PSP to compete against but the Vita sales are a joke compared to the 3ds yet the 3ds still isn't doing remarkably... And well, the ps3 didn't really do bad... 80 million+ isn't bad loll. All I am saying is that they won't make another handheld cause of how quickly and easily they gave up on the Vita after one mediocre holiday... They didn't even try to recover... Its like their commitment on the Vita is almost zero outside of Japan... I highly doubt Sony will launch another handheld cause the Vita isn't the ps3 where Sony recovered it from being a flop, Sony seems to have zero cares left in the handheld space and I think they would much rather spend their money else where (Or maybe even save it considering how much money they lost this year in their whole company) |
80 millions is a little bit less then half of what ps2 did so if you think 3ds is a failure then ps3 is a failure too,when you look psp games and ds games you see that they have completly different games so both handheld was not a direct competitor.
I think Sony know that 3rd party is the key of Vita success and since 3rd party completly abandoned Vita(in fact 3rd party never support vita) at least Sony release the second biggest Playstation IP on it.
PS3 was confirmed that it make a big loose for Sony but we don't now if Vita make them money or not especially with those big numbers of indies games,like i said to you if Sony is confident that there's next handheld will be supported by 3rd party they will release another handheld which i doubt but still possible.
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
