There was someone two or three weeks ago that said folks were seriously underestimating how effective the new PSV color would be in terms of boosting Vita sales. I'm almost tempted to go back and see who that was.


No need to do it. It's the thread creator himself. I said it qouting nintendopie.

I am not ashamed of it because it did boost Vita sales although not that much. I expected 30-40K range.

Yet another week where the PS2 out sells the DS. Nintendo is going to need to reduce the price in Japan if they want it to stay ahead. Of course if the PS2. Sells forever it will not matter.

I think there is very little chance that the DS is going to pass the PS2.  As of March 2012 there was a gap of ~5.8 M and, if memory serves me well, their shipments have been very similar of late.


But the DS is way ahead of the PS2 in Japan. The only market it is trailing the PS2 is EU and Other smaller markets (middle east, africa, Latin america, etc). So it really doesn't matter in Japan
