Sorry, Marcus, but I am not going to buy a PSP. Especially not with the Vita being launched today.

If you buy a psp Ill throw in a free lifetime supply of ps vita games.

This would be a good deal, if Sony had the foresight to include forwards compatibility in the PSP.

It was dummied out in a firmware update

Time for hype

Got mine in HMV at 12pm and was told I was the 8th person to buy it today instore.

Also those pictures above actually come from the oxford street (London) Game main store midnight launch and according to Eurogamer who covered it there was about 100 customers total.

So the image some of you trying to portray of it flying off the shelves or queues etc doesn't seem right. Well at least not here in London which is the most populated city in Europe. But we will see soon enough as Track normally announce how well something like this sold in around 48hrs. 3Ds launched at 140k in UK so will be interesting to see how Vita has done in comparison to that.

I think Moscow wouldn't agree with you there

Moscow is in Asia, technically

If you want to get even more technical Moscow is in Eastern Europe.

No, but I did start up a pretty swell PSP collection about a month back. Might even get a PSP (as opposed to borrowing a friends) to take advantage of the great games!

Likely won't get a PSV until it's end of life, it's too expensive and a 3DS will tie me over.

Not saying my experience is or isn't representative of any greater trends

but I work at a computer store with a sizeable gaming department (a department which I am basically in charge of) and we sold exactly zero Vita related products today.

No Vita systems, games, or accessories of any kind went out the door. Didn't hear a peep about it from any customer.

Also, we only sold two of the First Edition Bundles all week - one to a customer and one to another employee. Neither were sold on the actual FEB launch day.

So we currently have three First Editions, four 3G models, and five Wifi models. Out of the 14 total systems we received, only two were sold.

Just for comparison, I believe we sold five 3DS systems plus the one I bought myself on launch day. I believe we sold all five of the black units we got but only one of the five blues.

Vita is expected to bomb hard in Australia, so hopefully we get our first decent bundle come this weekend. Not a single retailer had a bundle worth giving a f*** about and you were better off importing. Went to several stores throughout these last few days to check out deals and barely anyone preordered the thing, unsurprisingly when it's selling at $350AUD. Our retailers really need to wake up.

Actually Vita sold out in AUS.

Uncertain if this is true.

Was just at the shop and they had plenty.

Maybe by 'sold out' you mean certain shops didn't bother ordering many units so had none to sell.

The Wi-fi model sold out at GAME because they were offering Ridge Racer for free. I don't know which Australia you're living in where it sold out but DSE, Harvey Norman Norman and EB Games still have it very much so in stock. And a lot of it.
