I feel almost sorry for Sony for being swallowed in every bit with the 3DS. At least there's still interest in handheld gaming, even with all the doom and gloom about smartphones killing the industry.


Why feel sorry for them? It is their fault. They should have known nintendo being desperate to get 3ds off the ground and wanting to combat smart phones would make them competitive.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

Meh. Until some earth shattering event comes along to change things, this situation isn't going to change any time soon. And seeing the software lineup + plans for a price cut 'next year', it's not going to be any time soon.

I wished though Vita could offer some pretty interesting challenges to 3DS. I do aknowledge the only thing to blame is Sony itself, but I also know that competition is very important to keep Nintendo away from taking it easy. I do find they tend to be too confident about their situation whenever it's going down good, making less effort, and resulting in less appealing games or deals for us gamers. Competition's always sane!

This thread is preposterous. At least wait for Vita's first christmas period.

In Japan, that was last year.

Bu-bu-but it was not a full christmas period! It launched on December 17 and thus missed all the ramp up time! Be fair!

Yeah. The first christmas is its second christmas. So, we can pass judgement once its second first christmas is over.

So that would be in 2014 since this'll be the first x-mas in the West!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Japanese don't celebrate Christmas. They merely celebrate the "holiday" season considering a majority of them are Buddhist.



Yeah sales increase but it's nowhere near the same as the rest of the world...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

No, 2014 would be the second first christmas in the West. Unless you mean after 2014 christmas, then it would be the third first christmas.
