Forums - Gaming - Vita and PSP together could not outsell the 3DS this week in Japan- price decrease has failed! Should Sony even waste its time with an eventual early price cut in the West?

Spurge I can't wait to drink your tears when vita destroys 3ds.



looks like your going to dehydrate lmao, it'll never happen

Even if Vita were the same price or cheaper than 3DS in Japan, 3DS would still outsell it.  That's the strength of the software basically carrying all the weight.  Vita needs more than one medium-seller before it begins to pick up long-term.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

No one with realistic expectations would be surprised about the precipitous drop-off in sales for Vita and Soul Sacrifice in week 2.


This is almost word-for-word what I was thinking when I saw the numbers.

furthermore dude, 3ds is DOWN YOY. It's been out 2 years, and sales are down. 10% down for the last 4 months. Sales should be going UP for at least a few years.

it will(its down almost 300k), no note worthy games except DQVII came out. 3DS will sell no less than 16mil this year. Watch out for next months sales especially week ending Apr 21st. 3DS will sell way over 200k that week. Plus Luigi Mansion should push hardware alot for 2-3 weeks leading up to the massive Apr 21st week!!!!!!

It is still selling pretty well. You couldn't say the price cut has failed unless it is consistantly losing.
