Will Vita finally start to consistently outsell PSP. Or if Vita still on a downward slide after last week's boost?

PS3 >2*Wii. Wii U can't come soon enough.


This week we will see better numbers than last week (13k) caused by the release of the White Vita and MGS Collection. After that, I think PSP will still sell more than Vita.

Well the 3ds only went up by a little bit despite the pokemon release. The timing of the 3DS LL must surely have been to prevent people from being angry at Nintendo, from people buying a 3ds and then hearing about a new release right after. For a normal week it probably wouldn't have mattered much, but Pokemon releasing is not a normal week.

Very nice hold for DQM: Terry. With stock available now, it is holding on very well.

PSV dropped like a rock. I wonder what kind of boost the white model will give it next week? P4G also had a large drop. I wonder who said it would do 60k this week? ;-p

Only 1 more month until the new 3DS releases!

Since NIntendo announced the XL for 18900 Yen, why do you think amazon is selling the thing for 23100?

That's quite a jump, right?

I don't think people should have that high of hopes for the new colour on the Vita. Seeing as how it's doing currently it won't do much.

New colors do boost numbers very well.

Sometimes. 

Did you see how games have helped the Vita so far? And games is what makes HW sell.

You are clearly underestimating the power of a new color especially in Japan.

- original Black/White sold 87.65% of stock

- 1.29 came from pre-orders
- second highest pre-order figure for the series

So how much are people expecting the new color to boost the vita in Japan? Can it be pre-ordered?


Personally I'm expecting something in the region of 25-30k. 

However obviously I don't know how many were shipped etc. It could be a bit higher or lower. But yea I think it will give a fair bump for one week and it won't be quite so quick to drop down to a stablized point.

Well that's not from Amazon directly. That's one of the "marketplace" stores. I'm guessing Amazon ran out of their allotted stock (for pre-orders) which is why there are only "pre-orders" from third party sellers, who like to raise the price.
