PS victory,why not choose this name?

It's just weird to use such a small store, and say "i'm not surprised".

From what I've seen, the 3g was probably nearly equal in popularity. @online stores, 3g trends higher, and the bigger memory cards sell more too.

I believe Vita's conference in Japan is going to be Huge.... I mean, megaton huge!

I'm looking at some graphics on GAF and Vita is reaching Dreamcast levels. Sony knows that and they'll do whatever it takes now to raise the sales there!

This is the problem though, the guy at my GS (I'm good friends with him) said every gamestop received only 5 pre-release bundles. That was the max. With 4400 stores, that's on 22k prerelease vitas. If the prerelease numbers with 70k, then gamestop only has about a third of the marketshare for vita sales, and likely only major retailers got the pre-release bundles, like target, walmart, best buy, gamestop.

If vita sold only 150k in the US week 1, that would mean that every gamestop store only sold 11.

Of course, maybe my guy just doesn't know what he's talking about, but he was saying that company emails were really impressed with the preorder numbers...11 isn't that impressive. Look at it this way, Twisted Metal sold more copies than the Vita.

Finally, we also have that insane attach ratio of 1.6.

It is much better than dreamcast level mate.

Not on weekly sales, its not.

And PS3 is going to surpass it launch aligned at any minute now

So, not bad launch numbers after all. + "Week 0" in USA (it just can't be ignored).

Not amazing, but nothing shameful, especially with all the pressure from the phone/tablet market on both handhelds.

So launch passed, time to look on what will be "tomorrow". I think PS Vita will do at least decent numbers during it's lifetime, but likely won't catch PSP's figures. Same for the 3DS and DS situation. I'm sure that phones and tablets will absolutely not kill dedicated handhelds (I just can't take phone gaming seriously), but they, of course, WILL take their piece of the portable gaming cake this gen. What will happen after this portable generation is impossible to predict for now.

P.S. I will buy a Vita around a time of E3.

61k is good? X360 did about 100k+ on its slim release, and 3DS 113k :-S

Nice to have confirmation of a number though

Oh, it's just another source, how many is that now? 'Close to 3DS' '45k' and now '61k'

that's explained by the major japanese software on the system, monster hunter, visual novels that work well in 3D, and the ever popular mario.

But yes, I can agree that Japan is probably more into handhelds than everywhere else, so rather than 3-1 maybe it should be more equal. It's still baffling. At this point, I just don't trust the numbers that we've seen from chart-track. Even company insiders don't know the correct UK sales thus far. I've heard three different numbers for UK. 45k 60k 93k, 2 of them referencing charttrack, the 45 and the 93.

Oh sorry I taught you meant graphics wise ha
