It's so funny to see people trying to find excuses for Vita's failure and PS3 behind the Wii this week...

Uhhh, well, the second week of Vita only has 7 days.

Horrific Vita sales .... it's the holidays for crying out loud, why arn't the Japanese lapping this up!


Number of reasons ranging from 3DS competition, price range, lack of UMD option (hurts the product if people are generally still into physical media).  


It's not even the same system -- doing this makes no sense.

Anyway, it's fair to call it a disaster.


It hurts the product in the sense, people would go out and buy PSP instead of Vita. Given it only hurts people into physical products instead of digital. 3DS competition and price range were my main reasons, I just added the third one to say previous product going strong.

Actually that's a good second week for FFXIII-2.


70% decline, I don't know if I would call it a good second week, when the first week wasn't that great. Given that it is this week of the year, it makes it more depressing. Add in the fact that if does 50-70% decline next week, the title pretty much did pretty bad in terms of the brand name and being a numbered title sequel.  


You are suddenly more attractive lately acevil... shit what are doing tonight? wanna like hangout?

:P

I think everyone should relax and remember the early reports that stated something like 86% sellout of WiFi model and 54% or so for the 3G version.

Obviously demand is for the WiFi model and with SONY giving 100 hours 3G to those who purchased the first 500k 3G versions, it is easy to assume they overshipped the version the consumers did not want, hence the reason why the initial shipment did not sellout.

We will need to wait for word about a new shipment of just WiFi models to be absolutely sure.


OMG, you're still alive!

 

Also, stop being reasonable. Sony needs to sell what they don't have in Japan. People obviously prefer the Wi-Fi Vita and having only 13%  of the stock left is no excuse for it selling so badly.

Whoa Vita did much worse then I was expecting. Is there a shortage or something?

You are aware that the Vita does in fact use physical media right?

I keep seeing you mention that it hurts people into physical products, yet the Vita uses game carts.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

See, that is what doesn't make sense.

3DS had a better FW/SW and the lineup SUCKED. It's mind-blowing.

Funny thing is, that this was my favorite brand, and most invested brand (time and money).

I'm not trying to be negative about the brand, but hopefully square enix learns from their mistakes and finally makes a product that will be loved or liked by the majority and sales will recover.

With that said, I still have hope for Final Fantasy 13V. (I am not counting handheld effort, because they are generally good in that department.)

OMG Vita is a flop

HAHAHA that gif is awesome!

 

OT:

Someone at gaf said the Vita was going to be below Wii numbers but he got the PS3 wrong.

Wow these are bad numbers at this time of the year and the second week compared to launch…

 

Go Nintendo!!!
