I think April will be the key month. The people just holding for price drop and bigger game releases will now have pulled the trigger. Where it settles now will be key. I hope it can stay above 25k and start to get a solid user base behind it.

The sales bump was expected, but the sustained sales were not. Can it maintain these sales?

I'd be happy with 15-20k average through April & May really. They're weak months for software and I'm not sure Vita has very many evergreen titles beyond possibly Everybody's Golf and maybe Soul Sacrifice.

I'm hopeful that what will stem from the price cut, though, is bigger boosts when software actually does release. Rather than how it was before the price cut where you could see weeks with double releases (i.e. Atelier Totori + Fate/Stay; or Demon Gaze + Monster Monpiece) yet no hardware boost.

We'll see, anyway. Second half of the year should be better than it was in 2012, but the summer may be very slow.

well this week had one major game come out for vita (not as big as SS but still) and got 31k, next 2 weeks wont have 1 game and the third week has a game that nobody cares for. I see the next 3 weeks in order [26k~23k~25k] imo

How much is it down YoY?

It will stabilize at 15-20k if they managed to get a steady stream of software. They really need to do something about the west though. I'm assuming they're waiting until E3.

It's doing better then most anyone expected, if it keeps doing above 20 K a week it will be good.

"How did it affect sales"

You used the wrong word.

i'm happy enough with performance. ..now about the rest of the world.

i was like WTH are you talking about? But i got ya with the "ed". Edited!
