I'm quite surprised by how the PS4 can sell without being on holidays. And the Vita surprises even more despite the people's pessimism towards it.

Because the Vita is constantly receiving games year round despite what some people says. This are the confirmed releases for January 2016:

- Volume (PS Vita – PSN, cross-buy) – January 5 (NA), January 6 (EU)

- Star Wars Pinball ‘The Force Awakens Pack’ (PS4, PS3, PS Vita – PSN) – January 12 (NA & EU)

- A Boy and His Blob (PS4, PS Vita – PSN, cross-buy) – January 19 (NA & EU)

- Atelier Escha & Logy Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky (PS Vita – Retail & PSN in NA; PSN in EU) – January 19 (NA), January 20 (EU)

- Baseball Riot (PS4, PS Vita – PSN) – January 19 (NA), January 20 (EU)

- Civilization Revolution 2 Plus (PS Vita – PSN) – January 26 (NA & EU)

- LEGO Marvel’s Avengers (PS4, PS3, PS Vita – Retail & PSN) – January 26 (NA), January 29 (EU)

- Saturday Morning RPG (PS4, PS Vita – PSN, cross-buy) – January 26 (NA)

- The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (PS3, PS Vita – Retail & PSN) – January 29 (EU)

 

Its direct competitor (3DS) just have one game on the pipeline for this month:

- Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (01/22/16)

 

The Vita is one of the most overlooked devices in the history of videogames, it is a shame really.

even more impressive is that the HW sales are so small that to justify this manny releases they either buy a lot of HW and are very hardcore or the games break even with small sales, both are incredible... perhaps sony will launch a sucessor.
