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!)

Where 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.

Let's not get carried away here. I'm happy for the Vita, I'm glad it's selling well. It's impressive that it outsold the 3DS this week. Some celebration is expected -- even encouraged. But this barely qualifies as an "accomplishment," much less a HUGE one.

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

Yes i'm serious. Vita won this week and we have every right to celebrate and do whatever we want.

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.


One week is not much, seriously this would have happened either way. It's just like how the PSP has outsold DS many times. If there is anything to celebrate about is how well the Vita has done these past two weeks.

Also, let's see if your March prediction will be true.

While we're at it, let's throw all the rules out the window.

Again, I'm not saying it's bad to celebrate that the Vita sold well, because it did. It's just ridiculous to celebrate that it won (again, by near 1'000 sales) over the 3DS. I don't see how you can't view this as ridiculous in the least bit. 



Edit: Nice hold for vita.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Can someone remind me again why many were saying WiiU will control the japanese non-handheld market?

Same can be asked for the ones claiming Vita will destroy 3DS as the most desirable portable, yet we are here in a thread celebrating it barely tops the competition with a price cut and big profile games.

Honestly, that comment was not nedeed.

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..

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

Uh, you used your brain wrong. And that's not me being insulting by saying you are stupid. What I mean by that is you worked that out in reverse... Basically, you used the tool (your brain) in the way it wasn't meant to be used. You translated what he said to mean that things would have less than 500 sales per week but he was talking about the 360 selling over 20k in a week (which has happened before in Japan).  So Ps3 wouldn't see any less sales... so why would Sony be buried then and not now?
