Graph looks misleading. 1.1m vs 1.24m = ~12% difference

The graph makes it look like more than a 50% difference.

I made a new graph lol lol lol .


it would look doomier if it went from 1.09 to 1.35. make it happen!

THE DOOMMED GRAPH!!!!!!!!!

@NintendoPie I believe that's right. I counted only US and Europe for Week Ending April 2, 2011. Globally it did 711k.

US: 419,387 (Week Ending 02nd Apr 2011)
EU: 333,530 (Week Ending 26th Mar 2011)

US + EU Week 1: 752,917

Like I said to him... 3DS was launched a week after in US.

Edit - PSVita did 680k in US + EU Week 1.

@ethomaz That's right. It launched on March 26, 2011 didn't it? I thought it launched on the same day as in America, my bad. Still great numbers for 3DS.

These are the launch numbers right?

Why is the total different on the main web page o.O?

Different? That's the Week 1 combined for all countries... the Week 1 in Japan and Week 0 + Week 1 in US and Week 1 in Europe (PAL).


Whoops I meant to say the world wide sales show its 0.7 mil lol

But this is good news if its over 1.1 mil , it means the hype sold well and hopefully this will lead to good things (I'm sure it will), anyone know the difference between the PSP's launch sales and the Vita's?

Good news for current and future owners , I cant wait to get my own :)


Graphs are tricky things aren't they.

 

Go back and look at them again, they show all four handhelds.  DS, 3DS, Vita & PSP. 

Looks like PSP was 1.26 million, Vita is 1.1 million.  So what 160k.  or .16 million difference.

Weak North American numbers for FEB+week 1.

Much better Euro numbers than I expected.

It launched lower than 3DS worldwide though. If it can't match what the 3DS was doing at $250 I doubt it's going to have any sort of legs. I expect a fairly rapid decline in NA/PAL sales much like what we saw in Japan.


I don't understand this logic. You really expect a successor to a handheld that sold 21M in the US to open the same as a handheld that sold 55M in the US, not to mention expect a 21M handheld in EU to sell the same as a handheld that sold 51M in EU. Also do not forget you are expecting a handheld that sold 19M in Japan to sell the same as a handheld that sold 33M.

You expected the same opening for a 73M handheld successor to that of a 151M handheld's successor.

 

The fact that they are even close at opening week  says a lot.

That's completely nonsensical. You can't just cite last generation totals and expect them to translate. Just ask Sony with the PS3, Atari with the 5200, Nintendo with the Gamecube (and 3DS for that matter), or SEGA with the Saturn.

Vita had the worst opening between the PSP, DS, 3DS, and Vita. Opening worse than the 3DS is a bad sign because the 3DS was being sold at a profit but still needed an 80 dollar price drop plus a flood of big titles from September onward (Star Fox, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Sonic Generations, Pokemon Rumble Blast, Monster Hunter 3G, Resident Evil Revelations) to survive.

Sony is, by most accounts, selling the Vita at a loss or at best breaking even. Further, the Vita's announced lineup has nothing that will push hardware remotely as well as Mario Kart, Monster Hunter, or Mario 3D. 3DS launch was considered a failure and Sony has fallen short of that.

If you don't think Vita is headed for Price Drop Central you've got another thing coming. And no, this is not me being a doomsayer. This is me giving a reasonable assessment of the situation based on common sense and facts.

The doomed graph is a work of art.

Vita flopped.
