I don't doubt that many would be looking forward to buying a PS-Vita

Who wouldn't rather play Monster Hunter 4 on PS-Vita (than 3DS) with Party Chat guaranteed built into the system already, dual-analog built in, HD-visuals, and better battery life.

The only problem with the PS-Vita is the perceived lack of software support, but the hardware itself (aside from unnecessary inferior and more expensive proprietary memory card solution) has always been a winner for any gaming consumer.

the only thing meaningful in this poll is the wii U being lower than the Vita, so I expect a lot of wii U doomed thread

I would expect more Apple doom threads since it's below the XBox.

Apple doesn't depend on the japanese market as much as Nintendo does

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

34.6 million gaming devices were sold in Japan. (360 + PS3 + Wii + 3DS + PS Vita) Not counting PSP, WiiU and DS.
So there are 34.6 million players.

So, 64% means 22.14 million PS Vitas will be sold in Japan in the next 12 months. Seems legit.

more then PS2 LT in JP?

OT: in the end, this is good news, if it holds true.

If only these surveys were true, Sony would be in the black in no time.

A pretty outlandish claim. As DirtyP said above that would be 22,000,000 sales.

Yeah, right.

Not at all.

Point of poll was to guage interest on what platforms their sample is interested in purchasing. Famitsu will be biased towards more traditional gamers, but still provides information that says people are interested in getting a Vita soon (whether that be after a game or price drop, I do not know).
