i'm just stating fact

your immature post really describe it and did not contribute to this discussion at all

it's pointless arguing something not related to the topic

i know truth hurt about vita flopping

but don't act like a child

after all vita is major flop
because game push system
who the heck want to play port on tiny screen
rather play exclusive on it

Please be reasonable when talking about the Vita and to other users

I've got to admit that I've been put off buying one due to my worries over future support for it. I genuinly believe though that when JRPGs start to come and Sony actually supports it with promotions on PSN+ that sales will pick-up a bit. I don't think it will ever rival the 3DS in sales, but I think it could help the PSN grow and increase the amount of people (like myself) who stay for the long term within the playstation ecosystem.

Nintendogamer is brilliant at predicting, despite all that was said about him by certain individuals.

Could it be, MAYBE, that people on here are poor at predicting sales, more than what the Vita is doing.  A solution is for people to stop making predictions, then you don't end up with benchmarks based on pulling stuff out of the air.  It is fine to end asking what the Vita can do now to improve sales, but to based it on what people are predicting I find suspect.

What are the current totals for 2012 by the way?

I would blame the handheld gaming market. Vita out. 3DS to follow.

IMPENDING DOOM OF VITA AND 3DS= Android/iOS

I think blaming the market for poor sales doesn't really hold up when you see the 3ds shifting 1/4million units the last 3 weeks in a row, also I love how that pic doesn't have either starting stage complete :D I can just imagine how awful that would be to play looking at the crushed snes controller, how close the dash button is to right on the virtual dpad, painful.

While some here may be willing to give the Vita all the time it needs to find any degree of success. I assure you that most brick and mortar retailers will not be so forgiving. Sooner rather then later their forbearance will be exhausted, and they are going to cease carrying the product, and the associated software. Retail space is precious, and the Vita is looking to be a waste of that space.

With this thread in mind I am going to make my own prediction for the future. The PS Vita will be defunct by years end. It will start in October with game cancellations being announced. During November retailers will begin to get spooked, and will start to put the system on clearance. By December it will be a full blown panic to get rid of stock. Before early January when Sony will confirm that it had indeed suspended production late in the previous year.

There we have no need for another thread six months from now. Either I will be right, or it will manage to sell just enough to match some of the low end predictions. A big part of all this is Sony's fault for how rapidly it cut prices on the PS3. It created the impression that they could, and in fact would do that with succeeding hardware. I know it may sound harsh to some, but it might be for the best. Such a failure may prove to many gamers that price cuts aren't going to be a foregone conclusion going forward. Which may help the PS4 to be more profitable when it finally arrives.
