Still reading comments saying it's just due to Vita shortages...

When they just now sold through their initial shipment. A month later.


They're just trying to defend their favorite company... and thanks for the score for my Avatar! ^-^

People love to overreact. I mean people declared the Wii dead as soon as it's name was announced. Calling a console dead is silly anyway. Even the Dreamcast wasn't dead until it had completely stopped being sold. The Vita just has a slow birth lol

However I still stand by my point and have yet to see anyone refute it. With the current situation and unless there are some big titles announced for this year, then I can see the entire year for the Vita being incredibly tough in Japan. Like I said so far we know of almost no big titles confirmed for this year and it is very unlikely Sony could afford a price drop. It needs one of those two to perform well this year.

When it eventually gets a price drop or big titles then of course it will start selling. The question is simply when will those things happen? As it is they aren't in the near future.



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

Wonder how long it'll be until everything that isn't the 3DS drops below 20k.

Carl, did you see? The PSV is being outsold by the PSP, a last generation system. LOL!

I think most people got used to that when the Wii was outselling the PS3 and 360 all those Weeks, so long ago.

When the Wii was outselling PS360 it was opposite, the only real new gen console outsold the two last gen consoles.

alrighty people, break it up.  I'd prefer not to lock a sales thread because it turned into a war of who can troll the hardest while still staying just on this side of something worth moderating.



...

Sony just need to wait another 6 years untill 3ds reaches market saturation in Japan then people will have no alternative but to buy the PSV just like PSP has sold well since everyone had a DS.

PS2's lowest week

Previous 2011-05-16 1,129


Doooooomed! :D

Lol, exactly.  Not sure what the point of that post really was.  How much does he expect the PS2 to be selling as it approaches its 12th year on the market?

To be fair though, I only saw a few people claim that the Vita had a chance to beat the 3DS in sales- I imagine that most people expected a similar 3DS/Vita marketshare cut as we saw with DS/PSP

Not really. The general consensus among Sony fans pre-Vita launch seemed to be that the Vita wouldn't beat the 3DS, but garner higher marketshare than the PSP. Something along the lines of a 55/45 split instead of 67/33 or whatever it is for the DS and PSP.


i'll fess up that i predicted that pre-launch.  but in my defense that was also before monster hunter tri-G and 4 was announcement for 3DS.  huuuge blow to sony.  obviously only software can save the vita now ... wonder if we'll ever see that killer game for vita.  now i love sony's first party but there is no denying that their first party doesn't sell as well as nintendo's or MS's.   ... bleak days ahead my friend.

Meh, he summed it up good, but it's a sad reality of the site. Did it occur to you I was aware of what he was saying? I was just saying it was lame...

Who's to say that users don't learn? The lesson from past years is "enjoy while it lasts".

So if we are looking at a situation where dedicated gaming handhelds are apparently in a battle with smartphones and hardcore gamers need to sell the current machines (3DS, Vita) as much as possible to stop Apple and others, then maybe now is the time that Sony plays the role of the wounded soldier on the battlefield who tells his buddy Nintendo to leave him behind, because otherwise they will both die.

It's a possibility, but wouldn't you want the same had you been in their shoes? :P

@Sleepwaking You remind me of the nice crow in Galaki's thread. Good stuff ;/) I didn't realize this site was for watching people troll each other, I thought it was for debating business. Give yourself a pat on the back. ;).

Hey I enjoy sales numbers, but I also enjoy other things which a threads like this brings.  At least I'm not being al mighty and high as to what others can't and shouldn't enjoy. Just like I said let them be. Why would it hurt you if somebody is saying a console is dead?? 

Because it is not a fact, sounds stupid, reflects poorly on non-Sony fans (in my case a Nintendo fan) and does not reflect well on the community as a whole.

However, for those of you who can pull each others' legs and bring up each others' false predictions, by all means have fun! :D But to those purely bashing Vita I don't personally enjoy it. Sue me.


Hey I never said stop with what you are doing, I don't really care. I just said you were more annoying as a moral person who takes everything to seriously to me than the persons you were annoyed by.  Just like you are speaking out to them I can speak out to you however. I apparently cared enough for that. We should both know it's time wasted though, but it seems you like to do what you do and I like to do what I do, so maybe it isn't.
