So vita still behind PSP and 3DS behind 360 again in US.....


It has no reason to be above PSP this week. It however should be above the PSP next week.

How is the PSP outselling the Vita and WiiU? What is that dark magic?!

That's what I said, it did nothing.


I'm guessing you mean "nothing to the baseline level".

In which case, final question: What were your expectations?  Did you think Dragon's Crown was going to give a lasting boost on Vita's performance in the USA?

Nope, it's niche. But I thought it would do more than the 50-60k lifetime that it looks like right now. Hell, I was multiple times on amazon almost pulling the trigger for an import copy since I haven't touched my Vita in months. From my personal experience I bought some games for the device that I normally wouldn't just to have "something" to play. I expected more people to have a similar mindset like that especially since the game reviewed well.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Why Nintendo didnt have Mario and or Mario kart game ready for the first year is beyond me

with those WiiU would be doing Xbox 360 numbers constantly and all of this sw that bombs wouldnt....third partys would jump in wagon etc...
well its their money i guess

still i see a promising future for WiiU

i for one im glad they didnt, it would have been a rush job like NSMB2 and MK7 was, i for one would rather them get it right and not act out of desperation to move some systems. I applaud this.

Considering how well Wii sold and the lack of a serious 3rd party effort from any developer I highly doubt 3rd parties would jump on board even if it was #1 every week.

Most seem to be more interested in tarnishing their image on Nintendo platforms so they can justify cutting support, save a few.

yes cause Ninty made ALL those games you saw on the shelves throughout WIi's life. Please. 3rd parties made more games for WIi than either PS3 or 360

I guess Walmart did not hear the news? It is still over 200 at my local stores, and they still only have 3 games on the shelves for it. including some sports game.

 

But I am sure once the price is down people will come in droves to play those three games.


Just 3? Stores near me are getting stockpiles of Vita games, and I don't even live in a nation which is a major market for games.
