Forums - Sales Discussion - We need to talk about the PS Vitas sales...

Well lets face it, its only a major flop because people arnt buying it. I have one and its an amazing peice of handheld hardware, FAR better than the 3DS for gaming But sadly we most probably wont see the best of it because developers just arnt going to put hard work into a game that is hardly going to sell anything because there is no customers.

There are plenty of great looking games coming out like.
Ys Celceta Sea of Trees,
Assassin's Creed III Liberation
Soul Sacrifice
Phantasy Star Online 2
Legend of Heroes Zoer no Kiseki Evolution
Ragonorak Odyssey
LittleBigPlanet PS Vita
Malicious Rebirth
Silent Hill Book of Memories
Virtues Last reward.

But the fact is, people, even hardcore gamers will just not give it a chance anymore and not only miss out on some great gaming experiences but also kill off a handheld which is packed full of potential.

3.5 million? were are you getting that there Man Bear Pig? My chart says 4 million.

EDIT: unless you are reffering to just the 2012 calander year, ok then.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I would give the Vita the benefit of the doubt and at least give it the holiday season. But without a price cut I don't see how they can do much better.



 

I predict 3.5 for Vita!!

wait am I late?

ma prediction is the closest though so I don't care if I'm late!



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

We also need to talk about all those people, including the OP that said the XBox360 would sell more than the ps3.
Why is this not happening?



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ saidTrue the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

 2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

If they can redesign the Vita and integrate into a cell phone design (ala PSP Go or Xperia Play) I think there still could be a future for this platform, but the Vita right now is so huge, that may be 1-2 years out.

Xbox 360's tend to have stronger holidays sales periods than PS3's, so we don't need to talk about it becuase im pretty sure everyone was expecting the PS3 to be ahead of the Xbox 360 at this point.



Well at least I might be right with my Wii prediction - 5.6m

And it looks like mine is the most accurate all-round anyway

Lol, no. Wii over by around 4m, both 360 and PS3 likely under by a few hundred k, Vita over by 5m+.

OT: The same will be true for Wii by the end of the year. Will be lucky to get past 6m.


Wii is not a new console, unlike Vita.

Ok, ok. You got me there.

Still, Wii sales while dissaponting at least have the excuse of the Wii U.
