lowest drop yoy so far for 360, undetracked as well!

then why are some acting like sony system are the only one undertracked

I'm guessing it's because apparently the PS3 is constantly undertracked

anyway, how soon can we expect adjustments if any?

I remember long ago Micheal Pachter predicted the Vita will outsell the first three months of the Nintendo 3DS. For it to do that, it'll have to sell ~260k in April(don't know if that's the excat numbers, but pretty close to more than 200k). 3DS sold 194k in April.

To be honest, I don't care if it does or not(never trusted Pachter to begin with). May and June seems to be the best months for the Vita. E3 will be interesting for everybody.

Can someone show a link about those 200k Vita sells that is not from Neogaf? I can't find that information anywhere else. An user in the Neogaf thread said that those were the Patcher prediction and not the actual number so I am confuse now.



@Sal.Paradise I never said the Vita was doomed. I don't believe that just after a few months, it'll have to be a year for me to decided that.

@Pokemonbrawl Ty! I'll follow that thread.

@logic56 Trust me, I'm a Sony fan, those are things I take into account! I'm not expecting much from it this month though, so the naysayers should get their time to shine.

 

EDIT: Holy shit, so from that thread, the Vita had a better second month than the 3DS? God damn it, you vgchartz guys crack me up. I thought you were serious about this Vita is doomed stuff. 

March is a five weeks month while April is a four weeks month, so technically the 3DS had the better bad sales when using a weekly average.

Uhuh, I'm working my way through that monster of a thread, just read  Not even numbers wise. 194/4 weeks vs 200-225k/5 weeks.  then came back to see your post!

Still, I can't believe what some people were saying here. Selective amnesia, it seems.

The 200k figure is from a forum member that apparently everyone on there trusts to have the numbers. 

The Pachter 'guess' was 125k, from here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-12/u-s-video-game-retail-sales-slide-25-in-march-npd-says-1-.html (from what I can tell)

"Sony sold 325,000 console units, down 10 percent from a year earlier, and about 125,000 of its new PlayStation Vita handheld model, Pachter said, citing checks of U.S. sales outlets and company data."

Another blinding prediction from the Pach Man.

ha ha ha lovely



The only article I can find is this and it says the number of Vita is 125,000:

Sony sold 325,000 console units, down 10 percent from a year earlier, and about 125,000 of its new PlayStation Vita handheld model, Pachter said, citing checks of U.S. sales outlets and company data. Retail sales of packaged video games have fallen sharply for about two years as consumers purchase games for play on smartphones and social networks such as Facebook Inc., NPD reported.

Does somebody has another source?

Anyway, that is very interesting.
