3DS XL vs. Vita numbers from GAF:

YTD
3DSLL - 526.563
PSV - 519.554

...Damn.


How many of you can selll 519,554 of a product? This is a good number it isn't even a year yet.


Nice parody post...

...wait, you're serious? This is one of the oldest and dumbest sales response posts you can make.

The 3DS XL sold more in Japan than the Vita in a little over a month than the Vita did in nearly 9 months.

Edit: If you're joking though, you got me...sort of :P

Meh if the PS3 after 9 months of being at 700$. And then the Wii came out with a new version for the Wii that was cool and better 1 year and 4 months after release. I think after 1 month the new wii would outsell it. This is also assuming the wii was out a year before PS3 in this hypothetical situation.

fairly sad to see it drop back so quickly, I wanna get my hands on one of the miku vitas so I'll prolly be importing one if I can get a decent price as soon as I get paid. The thing is beautiful http://www.ebay.com/itm/F-S-New-PlayStation-PS-VITA-PSVITA-Hatsune-Miku-Project-DIVA-PCHJ-10002-Wi-Fi-/280958930668?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416a750eec

Ohhhh sore, sore... tell me you aren't one of those guys that takes news like this as some kind of epeen thing? 


No...? I've seen other posters make serious posts saying the same thing (not just about the Vita) asking "well, have you sold [x number of sales]?". It's just laughable and responding with data that puts things into perspective is the best way to stop it.

"well, have you sold x"? Don't know what that means.

What are you using your data to put a stop to? The hope their console might do well and get good support down the line?


Uh...you've never seen someone make that type of comment before? Making bad sales seem good just because no one else is selling a product that has sold 10k, 100k, 500k, whatever?


That's irrelevant.

making bad sales seem good by saying no one else is selling something that has reached 500k?

Can you hypothetically make that argument so I can get an udnerstanding?

Is it like, "vita is selling great for what it is, I mean, not even 3ds XL has reached 500k this year"?
Is that what you're talking about? THen no. No I haven't seen anything like that.

I see people saying that the vita is selling decently given that it's 30-50% more expensive, or selling well despite not having really many big games released in 7 months, or, reasonable things like that. But nothing like you've said. But anyway, why does it matter? I don't say vita is selling great, and your graphs upset me AS WELL!

So in the course of you picking on delusional fanboys, you're also upsetting people like me, who just want their console to do well.
Please desist. Nobody cares how great 3ds is doing.

Drunken sales debates are the foundation of this site!

lol, you're taking this the wrong way. The data I posted is just perspective, but my response to nine was different. I was just saying comments like "well have you sold this many units of a product?" are dumb. Especially because a new 3DS revision is doing much better than the Vita, which isn't doing very well at the moment. I didn't say this to spite the Vita or anything.

But let's ignore the Vita for now. Imagine if the next MH, FF, DQ, etc. sold, like 100k LTD. That would be a bomb. But what if someone said "well have you sold 100k of a product"? Wouldn't you laugh at them. Obviously the situation with the Vita, while bad, isn't as dire as if the next games in those series only sold 100k LTD. It's just an example.

Likewise, I've seen others being serious and making Vita sales seem much better than they are by asking others if they've sold a product that has sold 500k or whatever. Nine was probably joking, but he's parodying those who've made those comments. It's not a comment limited to just the Vita though, so don't take it so personally. It's dumb no matter the context.

tl;dr - I'm putting down delusional people, not the Vita, inherently.

Also, no offense taken. Don't worry about.

haha ok well thanks for not taking it the wrong way yourself :D

Really sad to see the Vita drop back so fast.
It goes to show though, unless it's called "Monster Hunter" (which I still believe is coming to Vita) one game can't save a system
