You should ask next time how many.
when i picked mine up from the gamestop, not only had they sold 38, several of them upgraded from the wifi to 3g bundle as they got a second shipment.
Also all day on the bus and train:
"Is that the new psp? Oh wow thats amazing i just saw a commercial for it"
Heard stuff like that from about, lets see, 2 on bus to work, 3 in the food court 5 comanagers ( i was playing hot shots and they love golf) and 3 on the way home on the bus. Oh also one while i was buying smokes, but he called it the vista

So about a dozen stopped me and were actin all jelly.

That screen draws people in from 20 feet away.

Prelaunch or not the 3ds still manages to outsell the Vita. And personally the first 2 days should be the most front loaded. I expected at least 100k from the vita.

That still makes zero sense to me. So are we meant to add this week and next week in order to see Vita's first week sales?

hope twisted metal have good legs and pass my prediction of 1.5 mill by the end of the year

Its not 2 days of sales it just the more expensive pre order sales. Judging a systems sales on day -7 sales isn't a good barometer.

Ok, so why is a week early bundle (granted its dearer) any less relevant than the actual full first week sales?

I think that most of the cheaper game deals, and discounts, were not really available anyway untill last week. 75k is the number of people who wanted the Vita asap.

I have a feeling Vita is going to do some pretty horrific numbers in the US, if it can't even do decent in Japan, Sony's handheld saving grace. Sony better hope they go nuts for it in Europe, or we may be looking at a Wonder Swan pt. 2.

Wii is starting to near levels 2007 PS3 numbers, which is pretty bad. Though I guess it's to be expected when all companies, including Nintendo themselves, have essentailly abandoned the console. Luckilly Wii U isn't too far off and should be able to pick up the slack for awhile. Question is, for how long?

It's a $350 bundle for the 3G version which not as much people in the US want or need. Basically, the purpose of prelaunch bundles was to help sell the 3G version and ease the flow of hardware on launch day. Yes, both weeks should count for Vita's first week sales. They're only one week apart in the first place.

only one week apart? Should both weeks count as everything's first week sales. I mean I personally think 75k is great for the expencive bundle, but you cant be combining weeks. It makes no sense.

What I meant was since it's a prelaunch week AND only one week from its actual release, it's fair to count them both. If there was no prelaunch week, wouldn't those same 75k people gotten their Vitas on launch day? If they wanted it so badly that they paid extra to get it one week early, I think they have more than enough reason to get one on the day it came out for everyone if there was no pre launch bundle. If it was let's say, a bundle where you get it one month in advance, then maybe the sales shouldn't be added together.
