Yup the 3DS also had 2 days during its launch week like the Vita did. So people were just basing Vita's supposed doom on it's 321k sales as compared to the 3DS's 370+k.

But yup, the war's full swing the next week. Only then will we know the true situation.

(I think the Vita's weaker first week sales might have stemmed from the Jap consumer's fear of another 3DSituation back then. Weak launch titles, and weak lineups till when Mario came into the picture. This happened even when Vita's launch lineup was a little better, oh well. >

agreed. best post in the thread.

sos every yr., with every console. where does your allegiance lie? do i have to make that thread again? growing up is hard fo many i see.

it's ok to cheer for your fav. console, but the comp does not need to be doomed. it's getting old, annoying, and makes for a very bad thread.

you're making it really hard for me to give you a nickname.

IIRC they did the same thing with the 20/60 GB ps3 in Japan. Sold out of the 20GBs because they undershipped. Ofc they were losing so much more money on the 20GB so it made sense...I'm thinking it's a similar situation with the Vita. One breaks even, the other profits; One loses money, one breaks even, etc

Seems like a big difference though.  The difference between the 20 gig and the 60 is shelling out 50 bucks for a wireless router.

Difference between Wi-Fi and 3G is paying an expensive subscription fee...

I guess you could argue that's part of Sony's plan though.  Force people on to the more expensive 3G Version where they can then collect a part of AT&T's 3G revenue from it.

Now you don't want anybody talking doom about to the vita? when you applauded someone who was dooming the 3DS because I said  that the drop in sales  the week before of the price cut was understandable? Now the 3DS is a monster and is time to take the heat. Life is sweet.

For anyone that doesn't know what he's talking about,it's this http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4176162.

Seriously? I don't see how Carl was ''dooming'' the 3DS with that post.It's the truth,the 3DS was doing downright terrible before the price-cut.He couldn't be more right.

Yes, that was my point. Financially it makes sense. REALLY sucks that it's At&t though. ALTHOUGH, something I hadn't thought about until just now....it's legal to jailbreak this thing since it has a carrier.

I thought it was confirmed the psv won't be simlocked to a one perticular 3g provider? (at least outside of jp)

Irregardless innotwithstanding, as long as it is a network based device, it can be jailbroken

who says the 3ds is doing amazing?

It came 4th in the last NPD, this for a console thats meant to sell well during holiday period and has recently been discounted. Its doing amazing in Japan but look at PSP amazing in japan does not mean amazing everywhere.
