A Death Stranding baby bump. After only losing 1 sale last month, Vita lost 5 more sales for a 5% decrease. *** ****

As soon as Famitsu stops tracking the PS Vita, so will we. 

Just to be clear, I have no issues with the site continuing to track the Vita. It's ******* great. I'm legitimately concerned with that 5% drop though.

This is the last week of the year where the Switch is playing Mr Nice Guy. From next week on it should go into kaiju mode.

The only thing holding it back now is Nintendo's stubbornness in not doing any good holiday deals.

Ya but why do big holiday deals when you can sell ~20 million without them?



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Cos you could sell considerably more systems with them.

Cos you could probably sell an extra 2 million systems with them.

Yeah, but by that logic they could sell an extra 5-10 million if they cut the price in half. There is a point where extra sales aren't worth the loss in revenue/profit and having a cheaper model release two months ago replaces the need for discounts.

I'm not talking about taking it to the extreme, just doing the same kind of deals that Sony does for PS4 on the regular.



Xbox about to be passed. So sad :P



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I know but if they are already on pace to surpass their fiscal year goal for hardware, software & profit than there really is no reason to have discounts.
