Yet it still managed to beat the Vita in its H1 of first year, so there must have been something more compelling. I wonder if it's the e-shop.

I agree with both you and heavenly_goat anyways so...

It's Nintendo's handheld. Not the eShop. (I'm saying why it sold.)

*sigh* logic why do you bother...

did the Vita exist when the 3DS launched, was the Vita dirt cheap when the 3ds launched, had it been out for almost a full year?

and becasue simple logic is too much for you to handle (don't worry your not alone, nor the minority) the answer to that is no

So, what are you saying?  That the Vita got to the market too late and now it's doomed because the competition is much more intense?  Theres no reason for it to exist because the competition is already doing everything that we want the Vita to do?  That sucks.

Okay guys.  Logic56 called it.  We can end the thread, now.

logic is right,
/thread NAO

I....I just....really.

vgchartz: herp derp the 3ds sold moar than the vita during the same time frame, derp derp

logic: because it had no competition, that makes selling more much easier

vgchartz: so you are naow saying vita are doomed it are not need to exizt derp

logic: no, just stating why the 3ds sold more in the same time frame

vgchartz: herp *whatever the next response is* derp

my expectations of intelligent well thought out post from most of this sites users is dropping faster than Sony's stock and market value, will it rebound? only time will tell...

unless you were joking in which case....ha ha ha?

it'll pick up steam rather slowly...those softwares need to keep coming...!!

not funny tho. It's a cop-out. Look, it could be a factor, but the markets for the Vita and for the 3DS are so vastly different, that your argument borders lack of intelligence, no joke.

3DS wasn't a very strong product around this time last year either. That's why you guys did that price cut. Remember?

^Look at Kowen's graph. The price cut didn't come until August, that's 8 months after the Japanese launch. Even then, the 3DS trended better than the Vita this far, without gamez.

I'm not saying the Vita shouldn't get a pricecut, it should, but I'm saying that Miyamoto, more respectful than I am true, wasn't wrong to mention the obvious, that the Vita is not compelling (nobody's buying it, go figure).
