5-6 million. Games will undoudtelly come. The striking point is the steep price atm. if sony isnt keen on reducing it, it will perform like 4-5 tops

Ive read in other threads (mainly one) in order for vita to be successful they need to at least sell 40mil (most said 50 though). So far vita lifetime is
0.48mil>>>>2011(japan only)
3.31mil(+)>>2012
Lets say the life span is another 5years (probably 4), It will have to average around 7.20mil a year. So is it still possible?
Most put under 4mil next year with others slightly over 5 or 6 mil. Some believe it will sell 10mil+ which will be a success (if 40mil is successful)

The real question is why is 40 million successful? It's just an arbitrary figure if we don't know the financials.

It's practically impossible to get a solid take on the financial situation of a console, so my suggestion is framing success by market share. PSP had roughly a 33% market share against DS, so Vita shouldn't be too much lower than that. If you wind up with Vita having only 20% market share or something, that's not a success from that perspective. 30% might be acceptable. Of course, greater than 33% should have been the goal at the outset, but that's almost certainly not going to happen now.

A year since vita came out (japan), Most people think it wont be over YoY next year? Thougts Anyone?




Under 4 million can be over YoY. This year sales up to now are more or less 3.2 millions, before corrections.

I keep forgeting that about japan sales in 2011!

I'd say between 4-5 million.

How was the PSP doing this point in its life?

Anyone remember what they put? I thought 8mil at the time but now im guessing 6-7mil, 3DS will take off high in sales but Vita will have the price cut!

i think sony will bundle the psvita with the PS3 near or right after launch of the PS4 and may do temp bundling with the PS3 through out 2013!
