Wii sales are weak because the console was made for casuals... Ps2 was a mix bag for everyone with awesome games... Plus didnt had competiton like we have now with Xbox becoming a monster is the West and Ps3 selling pretty well almost everywhere.

The hardware sample is statistically representative of national hardware sales, that's the whole point. If LBP being early caused more Vitas to be sold nationally, it would show up in the sample. Not collecting data doesn't cause it to not exist.

The wat is me trying to imagine how you could have arrived at your conclusions.

why? people who want to buy a 360 for bo2 will do it even with halo 4 release a week before and the same with halo 4. who won't buy a 360 because both games release close behind each other who would buy it with a 2 months gap? i think both games will take sales from each other but i don't believe it will hurt console sales.

btw reach boosted the 360 ~150k in the first two weeks after release, i think halo 4 can maybe do the same

1. Ooops! I misread North America LBPV release as WW. Anyway it should do more good than bad there, because as long as it's so expensive and they don't bundle at least a memory card, only big SW launches can support Vita sales outside of the Xmas season.

2. Yes, as I wrote, until it's so expensive, without even the essential bundled for its price, only SW launches can support its sales.

3. PS3 is one year younger than XB360.

4. This argument is quite weak, you are mixing street and official prices. PS3 Slim is offered at the current price with a higher official suggested price, that starts from $249 or 249€. The new Super Slim starts from 229€ for the 12GB in EU, while elsewhere the current Super Slim entry level model is bundled with a game and has a bigger hard disk, so it isn't directly comparable, but surely offers additional value that is worth more than the $20 official price increase. Now, regarding the EU 12GB, it's obvious that after the first weeks, when it will be sellable at full price for the novelty value, street price should drop. Elsewhere, once the supplies of the older entry level model will run out, obviously Sony will have to do something, maybe introduce a new entry level model without bundled games.

Disappointing that to correct me on one wrong point and to add another that isn't as definitive as you pretend, you made so many mistakes. 

Is Halo4 and COD releasing in the same week? If so.. then BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Another tough week for the vita, how come it's very close between PS3 and 360 this week?

cod is much bigger in europe so halo won't have a chance to compete

Ah ok.

i  still think cod but who knows.

btw in europe, black ops 2 already gets advertisement in the euroleague wtf?

fifa has tv advertisement in the football games (before, after and in the half time). at least in germany.
