Is this what you hope Sony announces? Because 160k for Vita would mean over a 5x increase in sales over the previous week.

It's impossible for something selling that low to just suddenly explode like that, even on Black Friday.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. Hopefully Vita sales don't drop off to much next week. I'm reallyl interested to see how Vita sales settle post-holiday.

No that's official... Sony already announced.

Where is the press statement then? Why am I supposed to believe these no-name sites? I call fake.



Vita undertracked by 80K

I found just over 20 sites that received the e-mail from Sony... the PR in the Sony site is published after the impresss give the news to the world.

Five seconds on google...

I only found 1 other source and that is Playstation LifeStyle, which seems to be the origin of this hoax.

There is no press statement. If there was, the sales numbers would be mentioned in it.

Why would they be fake at first blush?  Sony had PS3 systems available for $199 at every major retailor compared to 250-300 last year
