The vita's not a bad gaming device whats the big deal. Its probably the best handheld gaming device out there. It does not suprise me if the sales spike here and there.

Can someone confirm those numbers? This better be some kind of translation error.

It's no translation error but maybe he just wasn't up to date. I guess they sort of try to ignore the Vita as much as they can so he recalled the number from the last time he looked at them. 2 Months ago.

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

It can't be a mistranslation. German Sony boss speaking german to a german website in german gamescom. It's just a question of when those numbers are from.

He admits that they have made mistakes in advertising the PS VITA and he mentions particularly that they missed to appeal to the younger audiences and they want to rectify this. So they will rethink their marketing strategy accordingly and make the VITA more Kiddy-friendly aka lots of call of duty ads inbetween pokemon and naruto incoming.

But seriously, I have no idea how they can make the device more kids friendly from here on out. Besides the LEGO games, there is nothing that would appeal to children. Ratchet and Clank fits. LBP, too. Sly is borderline. So 3 Platformer. But Soul Sacrifice, Assassins Creed, Need for Speed, All-Stars? Not really helping.

It reminds me of Jack Tretton calling the 3DS a great baby sitting tool, to be honest.

Well, to me if this is "news", great... I probably like much more games kids-all ages than "mature" stuff

You're joking. Just like how the PSP was a handheld PS2, right?

It will be last reported numbers. i.e. end of June.

But it's still shockingly awful.

For once I have to agree... last year I was expecting at least 2x this many Vitas out there by this time.... my god I hope that a slew of good games, some quality adds, and a pricecut can helpt this little machine.

Im waiting for a pricecut, the games I want are already out or will be, but I need a price where I can equip a Vita with a game, memory card and accesories, withoyt spending my entire salary ( yeah its Romania, go figure).
