the king has returned to its rightful place. It's going to breeze 5m LTD (297k to go). It's just proving how ridiculous the logic was, when people said the vita would die last year or this year. "handhelds only last till year 5". That only applies to handhelds that sell gangbusters in those first 3-4 years. The vita will have a long and steady life and I can only see its software support increasing. A great line up this year already.

Ps4: beasting the home console front as usual. Great performance again and it's up over 100% YTD. Solid start to what promises to be an exceptional 2016.

3DS: sales slowing but a good boost from the new sku expected next week

Wii U: almost back to pre splatoon levels. Pretty bad numbers again. Unless they can discover another splatoon this year it's going to be bad.

PS3: refusing to die!

X1: What's the point.

The king! But  I don't think many people thought vita would be dead by now. I'm expecting good releases for another 3-4 years. Sony has third party support and keeps hardware alive for years. 

 

3ds sku? You mean 2ds? Which doesn't come Intill week 8 I believe? 

You may have been wise but a lot of people thought this would be the Vita's death year or else dead by now.  They were very foolish.  At least 3-4 years more of good releases.  The ps4/vita combo in Japan will be a long and successful one. 

 

Not sure what week that 2DS comes out but if it's really another 3 weeks?  We can expect low sales of the 3DS until then. 

 

EDIT: So how high can vita go?  This year it's started getting good support from the likes of dragon quest builders,  dragon quest heroes 2, world of Final Fantasy,  Ys 8, kancolle,  Attack on titan and many many more. 

 

If these games sell well especially the likes of world of Final Fantasy,  dragon quest heroes and builders legs other big franchises might start releasing on vita.  

If it could pick up momentum and get this level of support for another 4-5 years it could potentially hit 10m but at the very least over 8m. (note: potentially)
