In current situation I see Vita selling between 2 million to 5 million.

Vita should be sitting close to the 9-10 million unit range. Which will entice more developers and publishers. This is still the first year of the platform.

VITA selling 2-5 million during what period? And are you sayign you expect VITA at 9-10 million range by end of Mar 2013?


I see Vita selling 2 to 5 million units over the holiday season. I see the Vita easily being in the 9 to 10 million total sold range by March 2013.

Black Ops Declassified will not sell anywhere close to what console CoD games do, but it will not hurt the system in one bit. Same goes for PlayStation All-Stars, Ratchet and Clank, Assassin's Creed, Ragnarok and Persona (to name the big games coming)

This is kind of flawed though. If VITA only sells 2-3 million over the holiday season, there is no way it will make it into 9-10 million by March 2013. Only if it sells 4-5 millions, it has a chance. 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

We should warn Vita that for it to sell 5 million it should have begun selling 7 months ago too. Or maybe 17.

Because 4 december weeks of 300k (which is a lot for Vita - like 9x its weekly basis right now) makes 1,2 million. Add 4 70k november weeks (which doubles weekly basis right now) and you get 280k - totalling 1,480k total for the holidays, being generous.

But god forbid if we use those multiplyers (9x and 2x) for other systems. I guess only Vita can be boosted.
