Total:395

So you got for the 3DS:

West only: Fire Emblem, Castlevania, Animal Crossing, Monster hunter 3G & Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Prof Layton vs Ace Attorney, Scribblenauts, Harvest Moon and Brain Training in the West (most are Q1 which is quite impressive) with possibilities of Japanese ports

Japan only: MH4 and DQ 7 in Japan are the main ones which along with Pokemon and still more drive from NSMB 2 adn Animal Crossing should hand Japan over to the 3DS. Ace attorney 5, Rhythm Hunter, with further Inazuma and Professor Layton installations and too many others to count (and to be announced) decent sellers

Worldwide Release: Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon X & Y (!!) and more to be announced at E3 (presumably a Zelda game, Smash Bros, Mario vs Luigi, Kirby, new IP... Not all in this list, but definitely 2-3 games to be announced for the holidays)


PSV has Killzone, Dead or Alive 5, Ninja Gaiden, another CoD and fifa, Ratchet and Clank, Soul Sacrifice, Sly cooper probably a couple of Sony announcements like GT & Jack and Daxter. It also has Phantasy Star and Senran Kagura in Japan. Excuse me if I'e missed some.

BUT really how many of those are million sellers let alone 5 million sellers let alone 10 million sellers for the VITA? Here's my count:

Million sellers

3DS: Luigi's Mansion, MH4 (4 mil+ Japan alone), Pokemon (10 mil in bag), AC (5 mil+ WW), Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, with possibilities for Fire Emblem, Layton vs Ace, Scribblenauts, Inazuma and E3 announcements (I'm sure a couple of big titles will appear in E3 or from Nintendo Direct)

Vita: I honestly don't think it will have one. Maybe it will have, hopefully it gets big announcements as well, but I honestly don't see it happening for the Vita

So yeah Pokemon alone trumps anything the Vita has to offer AS OF YET. A pricecut can change that, but must be coupled with big handheld games. That said, if this downward momentum keeps on goin, then i fear the Vita won't see 2015. Hopefully Sony has something up their sleeves

Well, Uncharted nearly is at the million (probably if you include digital sales it is already). So it should have one million seller if 2013 is over. Besides that - we will see.

10 years greatest game event!

I don't think anyone expects the Vita to sell more than the 3DS this year.



Put it this way

3DS is getting a new Monster Hunter and a new Pokemon this year. Not only is the 3DS going to annihilate the Vita its going to crush every console on the market this year.



Damn.... so 3DS will dominate not only vita, but PS3, X360, WII, and WII U? So crazy!



Around the Network

it's too obvious to answer such a question. Vita will sell a little closer to 3DS though

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Even I think that's an unfair question.

Dominate? Obliterate!

Sony will be cancelling Vita projects soon.

They are probably being cancelled as we speak



The 3DS will be one of the best selling consoles of the year. The Vita will be one of the worst selling consoles of the year.

There isn't anything to discuss here... at all.
