So how much market share can Vita win for itself in 2012 ?

Will it be able to score at least few weekly wins ?

I don't get it - according to the table, you will be comparing current weekly sales. This table will answer the question "which sold more in 2012, 3DS or Vita".

But as I read it the poll seems to ask a very different question - what percentage will total Vita Japan sales be vs total 3DS Japan sales, aligned to 2011 (?) Is that indeed what you meant in the poll question?

I don't know. But what does the Vita even have games wise? They don't monster hunter spinoff. Don't have metal gear, don't have Dragon quest. The biggest thing I can think of is a is the MH spinoff or the FFX remake which is also on PS3.

I know japan likes portables. But I just can't imagine, A MH spinoff or FFX being a significant system seller for the vita. If FFX was on Vita only I could seeing it having an effect like Ocararina of Time Did on 3DS.

I can imagine it only doing a small fraction of the 3DS. I'm going to say 40% of 3DS saless.

Erm what ?

Table is for sales tracking. Poll is asking how will PSV sell compared to 3DS ? What's difficult in here ?

The table is indeed clear. What is not clear to me is what time frame the poll question is referring to - does it ask "how will PSV sell compared to 3DS in 2012?" (which is what the table is about), or does it ask "how will the PSV sell compared to 3DS aligned?" (e,.g. first 52 weeks of PSV vs. first 52 weeks of 3DS)

2012.

2011 numbers are only for reference for future discussion since we have only 1 week of 2012 (and actually 0 when i put this table in)
