LMAO!  You're joking, right?  I don't think anyone even mentioned it being multiplat besides you.  What this is about is SE taking the franchise in a direction no one wants it to go in.  Mostly linear with little to no towns and battles that almost control themselves.  It's an attempt to appeal to the West, even though FF games have already sold well in the West as they were.  They also said they may be aiming have a main FF game release every year, just like the COD series.  Plus, SE business decisions this gen have been horrid.  Instead of letting Nomura finish the FF game people are actually excited about, FFV13, they took at least half of his team off of it to finish other teams' games (fortunatley they're finally all back).  Then they pushed out a sequel to a game no one was asking there be a sequel for and may be starting to make a FF13-3. 

Unfortunately those are abysmal second week numbers for the Vita. Hopefully Sony won't start panicking and begin slashing prices if things don't pick up immediately. Sony would be much better served if they accepted a smaller market share and ran their division more profitably IMO.

PS3 and PSP doing great, Sony domination! 3DS did a similar release when it was as expensive as the Vita. You will see sales kicking once everything said and done!

People will probably hate FFXIII versus aswell and guess that will be because it is exclusive :)

So finally a million seller in Japan in 2011! Achieved in the last week too! Next year software should have a major boost

That word is not to be used so lightly. Modern Crapfare Portable, that is all. In Japan, Sony will have to figure something out and they will.

*cough*

You must be crazy to think Nintendo is trying just to target children. They TRY to appeal to everyone. Super Mario is heavily bought by older individuals and if I had to guess I would say the ratio between children and adults is about equal. So not only are the targetting children but teenagers, adults, and other casual people.

Kinda points out a huge part of the Vita problem.

I'll have to disappoint you about that one.

Although my experiences aren't representative for the whole of Japan I can say there are plenty of Vita consoles in stock.

In the past days I went to about a dozen stores selling video games and all of them had both Vita versions in stock.

I saw not a single "sold out" sticker. (Well, I saw one, but that was for a memory card...)
