Forums - Sales - Chart-track: PSV at 110k in UK

Overtracked... Like it didn't have enough troubles at the vgc numbers :p



Around the Network

The Vita is overtracked again? I dare someone to try to turn this into a good thing.



Read my original story on Fictionpress (Shinigami Twin): http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2996503/1/Shinigami-Twin 

As well as my other one (Hell's Punishment): http://www.fictionpress.com/s/3085054/1/Hell-s-Punishment

Undertracked in Germany though:
http://www.finanzen.net/nachricht/aktien/Sony-vs-Microsoft-Playstation-Vita-mit-gutem-Start-1842509

about 80k in March (apparently March only sales)
Media Control is the source.



These are great numbers considering the circumstances.



At least bad vita sales are making some people happy (not referring to the OP). I find it quite sad to be honest.

reads like the whole launch to me.... from launch until end of march.

yeah but you'd think that a site called "finanzen.net" knows how to dish out numbers.
Anyway at least 15k undertracked in Germany.

It says 80k in march.



The last thing Vita needs is to be adjusted down...

Also, that's much less than the PSP did on its first week (180k) and the 3DS (113k)

The fact it takes 11 weeks for the Vita reach FW sales for the 3DS is a highly worrying sign...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Messi: Hey, I heard Vita is overtracked in the UK?

Obama: Really, how much?

Messi: About 20%

 

Obama: Meh



"Have you adopted the PS Vita yet? If not, why not?"

There are many reasons. Let me list and explain each one.
1. Games.
-No games on it that interest me at the moment. I am looking for games to buy "now", not 1-2 years from now. So Sony needs to release some games for it that will get me to buy it this holiday.
2. Price
-With how it is selling, a price cut could be coming soon. Although I find $250 reasonable for the hardware itself I'm not going to waste my money on something when I have nothing to play on it.
3. PS3
-I own a PS3 and there are plenty of games for me to play on it. Don't really have time for a Vita.
4. PSP
-Sony didn't handle the PSP very well. It went without very much support and I fear the same will happen with Vita.
5. Vita Sales
-With Sony's financial troubles, the Vita could be discontinued if it keeps selling at this rate. I'm not going to buy something that could become a paperweight.
