Yeap... a dead handheld outselling a successful handheld is not a accomplishment lol lol lol

Right when I saw this thread I knew people were going to act as if 1'000 or so is a huge gain over the 3DS. It's good, yeah (especially since it had no drop really) but not something to go yelling on the streets about, yet.

One week when the 3DS sells a little above the PSV I'm going to post, "Woot! Look at the 3DS goooo!" (Actually, I'm not. I promise!)

Also, I have to ask:

What caused the PSP spike this week? One decent selling release seems a bit much to have caused a ~6k increase in sales.


I consider it more handheld buyers out in the stores. Since most would be 3DS owners already the 3DS dropped while other handhelds went up and consoles did whatever.


That's... a pretty interesting theory, actually :P

1.its not a dead handheld 2. its not an accomplishment, its like if ps3 had no games in 3 weeks and wii u has Metroid game+DK with a price cut and then wii u beats it by 2-5k. for just ONE WEEK. That isn't an accomplishment, wat is an accomplishment is how well SS sold. I give it to that impressive number including vita #s but just cause it beat 3DS by 2k or 5k is jus plain silly. Jus sayin

PSV outselling 3DS is like 360 outselling PS3 in Japan... think a little about.

SS did less than I expected but not too less..

What did you expect? Vita sold like crap all this time and it finally outsells the competition in it's biggest territory. So of course were gonna act like that.

 

Btw, i predicted right last week.

I expected people to act like this. I'm not surprised, really. 

It's really pretty good weekly sales. That's something to celebrate over. But to celebrate over 1'000 more than the competition? That is somewhat odd.

Psv outselling 3ds is an accomplishment. 3ds outselling the psv is an accomplishment but expected and no big deal.

 When a machine is outsold by the competition for one full year... one unique week is a HUGE accomplishment... and can be one of few to happened in the entry life of this machine.

PS. Your previous avatar was more cute

So in a basketball game, if a team wins by 1 point they shouldn't celebrate or consider it a win, because they won by 1 point?

if X360 sold more than every other console or handheld in JAPAN, Nintendo+Sony should just be buried lmao.

What a bad comparison. You can't be serious about that...
