I would agree if not for the fact 3DS released in all other regions 1 month after the japan launch and is 2 months after the japan launch for vita so 3DS will have a month more of sales in NA EU and AUS

You can correct for that in "launch-aligned" that is by combining the first three months of each region to get the total first three months without having to worry about such matters

If you do that I have no doubt that vita would win.

The Vita will have to deal with a $250 price point and the success of the 3DS. I hope for Sony's sake that he's right. I think both systems have their place in the market really.

I think even in this day and age of the iphone/apps/mobile is king that both of these handhelds still have there place. The Vita will be big eventually, and as we can all see with recent 3DS games there is a lot of interest!

With all of the games that the Vita has that are downloadable as well as store bought it has a good chance even though it may look dire on the outside.

 

I never found this out. Does anyone know if all the Vita games are purchasable as a download or just some of them?

Sony has been saying all games will be avaliable by download practically since they annouced it.

Everything he says always has the opposite effect. So the 3DS will win in the comparison. Just when Vita had a chance.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

He should be right Montana, however I don't think it will do that much better.

If he is talking of first 3 months in all regions, most probably, but its nothing to be really proud of. Its not like 3DS was doing the same number it is doing now.

If you're talking equal 3 month period in all regions type thing then yeah, I'd imagine they'll be neck to neck and Vita could just about beat it. PSP launched just as strong the DS, I'd expect Vita to outdo the PSP whereas I think 3DS was a bit behind DS.

So yeah, solid prediction, could go either way but I'd generally agree with ol Pach man here.


Yeah right when the 3DS surpass DS first years sales and you say it behind. hpmh.

Its way too early to tell. I mean a great lineup of games doesn't automatically mean it will be a success.



dallas on 27 December 2011

well, i think Pachter assumes that the Vita will have a price cut, for this to be true. I'm still pretty positive about the vita. It's OLED screens are still considered cutting edge, and therefore have future reductions in the cost to make them. Also, the very idea of getting users to download a majority of games purchased, is gold as sony will be able to offer them for a lower price. Also, we have no idea when a price cut will come, so take Pachter's predictions with a bit of scepticism.
