What did Nintendo do to get Europe to buy the 3DS all of the sudden? Whatever it is, they need to do that with NA.

Ok, first of all there isn't any game that sold 120k. There is a game that sold 90k though, it is some niche pervy type of game. System seller? AAA? NOPE. So maybe you are the one who has these high expectations of a handheld that has been selling horribly for the past year. A price cut won't magically save the system. It needs a steady stream of games.(Which it is getting btw). Japan may be THE region for portable gaming, but it is being dominated by the 3DS. Again, if you were expecting Vita to outsell the 3DS(which just had Dragon Quest VII released a few weeks ago) you have your expectations way too high. Price may have been a barrier for Vita, but it still needs high profile games. Yes my expectations were low, but they're also realistic. Maybe that is because I've been disappointed every single week for the past year. The 3DS has Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Dragon Quest, Mario...etc. There is no way Vita can compete with that with a simple price cut. It will take a long time before the Vita's install base and game library is big enough for it to meet expectations from people like you. It will take years though, it wont' happen overnight. So yes, the fact that Vita got so close to 3DS sales this week is impressive in my eyes. |
i just read the beginning of your post and i would just like to point out that it did infact sell 120K, 90K were retail and the rest were digital.

What's the Wii U? Some type of Wii peripheral?

I haven't even begun yet, and I am going to keep at it until the stubborn refusal of some to acknowledge the truth falls apart. In the end it always does. This isn't my first time to this particular rodeo. Sony fans kept blaming the PS3s poor early sales on the lack of enough great games. So they constantly said that the sales would pick up when this game, or that game would come out. Myself among others kept hounding the point that it was a matter of the price tag. Not only did it turn out that we were right, but we eventually got the Sony fans to admit it to themselves. Now you would be hard pressed to find a Sony fan on these forums that doesn't freely admit that price is a major concern when it comes to the purchase of any console. They didn't start there, but had to be dragged there kicking and screaming the whole way. Nobody said it wasn't a grueling ordeal to break dogmatic propoganda. The mountain may be steep, but it can be climbed. Why do it you might ask. Why does anyone bother to argue a point on these forums, because it is a challenge, and a game in itself. I understand enough to know that a console that is backwards compatible, and launched with over thirty games. Cannot possibly be starved for games less then four months after it launched. Sales went right off the cliff at the start of January. When all of those games should have been fresh in the minds of consumers. So it cannot possibly be the lack of games at fault. The games weren't lacking so the only logical conclusion is that the issue is with the hardware. Every thing else is just plain accounted for. Would you care to profer up another poor excuse. By the way you valued my opinion enough to respond to what I had to say on the subject. Alll I will say on that is it seems like a illogical contradiction. |
i for one hope you never give up the good fight

I didn't know. I only looked at Media Create chart. My point still stands though.

the show on PS3 outsells the 360+PS3 versions of mlb2k combined
As a Vita owner, I agree those numbers are nothing to celebrate. Now, if sales in Japan settle at, say, 25k, then that would be something to be happy about. I don't expect that to happen though.
Vita will never sell well. It may end up selling decent, or sustainable numbers, but not "well". The sooner we accept that and just enjoy the games the better. So far I'm very happy with my niche product.
I recommend WiiU owners to accept this as well and enjoy it like they surely enjoyed GC or N64. WiiU has more chances of "succeeding" than Vita as it's a younger system, but I'd say chances are still pretty low.
