Except that the only reason the PSP started outselling the DS was because the DS achieved total market saturation. It has sold 33million copies in a country of 127million people. There is a DS for more then 1 in 4 Japanese people. The psp has only started outselling the ds because of how few potential gamers there are left in Japan who don't already have a ds. 

I'm on s phone do I can't quote you basil but I hate sony this gen. Their pricing, policies, and games are atrocious and seeing them fail in the market warms my heart because their fans, who are the worst thing about them, have nothing to say but excuses. Before this week's numbers sony fans were still touting vita as some techno wizardry dream machine with awesome games and were constantly defending its faults like expensive memory and these numbers prove that fanboy stuff is just talk.

According to translation by google chrome for the 32 gig memory card  Only 2 left in there. Order In Stock. Also we are talking about numbers that ended 3 days ago they could have gotten stock. 

I understand and your point is well takin but the ds and wii  Mario games had sales explosions such as hardly has been reached before.  But maybe as you say expanded audience games like  wii sports and the like  were the reason.

Exactly.  I wouldn't be surprised if this week saw the sellout of 95%-100% of the Wi-Fi model.  We'll have to wait til Sony adjusts their manufactoring to push out much more Wi-Fi models than 3G models.  Of course, you also have the fact that Vita actually has competition upon its release, and not just from last gen handhelds.  Nintendo dropped the price of the 3DS by $80 and there have been 3 games that just recently launched on it that appeal greatly to Japan (2 Mario games and a MH game).  While I was expecting a little over 100K this week, these numbers still don't surprise me.  I think 2012 will be much kinder to the Vita in Japan, as it will probably see a small pricecut near the end of the year, as well as have more games that appeal to Japanese gamers.

WOW 3DS!!!

Most reports are indicating that the Wifi model is out of stock and the 3G model is on shelves in low demand.

Sony obviously should have made a second shipment of Wifi Vita's; the fact they are sold out and they didn't make a second shipment shows there is a shortage.

This is also why they only launched in Japan and not globally, they wanted to avoid the shortage they knew they were going to have (which still happened, just not for the 3G version).

The reason for the shortage is because the components the Vita uses are produced at factories that have other companies buying production time. There is only so much time and floor space in these factories, so Sony is only getting a small portion of the components they would need to produce the Vitas for a global launch.

Sony's only real mistake here was that they overestimated demand for the 3G Vita. The rest is simply external factors limiting production of Wifi models.

A game without massacres does not mean kids game.  Hell I'm 52 and I enjoy Mario games because they are fun and very well made. My friends in my age group have a great time with cart. I would say they make games for everyone.  Although I do love goldeneye and COD games as well as well as resident evil.

I am not sure why you are protesting my statement when your counter-statement doesn't contradict my statement in any way or form.

That is because Monster Hunter came out for it, and DS didn't have it available. Now 3DS has Monster, but Vita doesn't, and it also doesn't have Dragon Quest, Pokemon, or Mario Kart either. The situation is different. I would have said that Final Fantasy would have been a potential big gun for it, but over the last few years, the Final Fantasy milk went sour; so even if it did secure exclusive rights to that series, it won't be as big of a hit as it would have been 5-6 years ago.
