Your post makes zero sense and is woefully inept at understand the marketplace and economics....So no one besides apple should launch a phone because they won't be first?????? What kind of arse backwards logic is this? No one should launch anything for a part of a market unless they dominate? The world and economics don't work that way.,

Borderline success? 80 million units is border linenow? Well shit, the PS3 and 360 must still be in the failure zone :P

OT: I don't think Sony were ever really directly competing with Nintendo. It's like saying Toyota and Aston Martin are competing because they are both car makers (not saying either is better, as is the case with those two car companies, simply using an example). The PSP showed that with enough support, their strategy for hand held gaming is perfectly viable, and in-fact was rather successful. They just haven't haven't managed to pull of that support again, as s happening with the WiiU. Hopefully we will see both get the support they deserve in the future. (I especially hope the Vita can find it's ground again. It's a really brilliant piece of hardware, it's just lacking the games).

Also the Vita arrived a year after the 3DS came out, giving it opportunity to build a decent line up and undergo a price cut.

I think sony should have aimed to launch sooner seeing as they were the underdogs.

I think he was more saying that the Vita isn't being supported by Sony as much as we'd like. Both those games look great, but it's a shadow of what the competition is pumping out.

Probably not, but it's not that easy. Sony is supporting PS4 at launch ps3, and vita, only so many resopurces to go around. What it needs is more third party, if they build the install base enough I think more of that will come.

This is such an uninformed post it's not even funny anymore.

They always are, every console sells very very well at launch, 'cos that when the early adopters (fans) buy it. Pre-orders are huge, people get carried away, and headlines are made. After that short burst, it usually tapers off, fast (not counting the original Wii). Then again, that's common knowledge, and anyone seriously convinced PS4/X1 sales will not go way downhill fast as soon as we enter 2014 might be somewhat delusional and/or blinded by fandom. Pre-orders mean less than nothing. WiiU sold gangbusters at launch. There is absolutely zero reason to believe either PS4/X1 will see robust sales after launch, unless you're honestly convinced they're the next Wii.

We are not talking about phones dude.

We are talking 3ds vs psv. 

Are you literally telling me Sony produced a system in which the intent of it was to be anything but first in sales?

This quote tree was completely ridiculous.  Knock it off - Kresnik.

Yeah but in comparison to history and the competition, ....it's way ahead.... There is more to it then launch , if that weere thew case why didn't wii-u, and why isn't x1 over 1 million already?

Wii-u never sold like gangbusters, PS4 is already more then doubled what wii-u did and we have 3 months to go......

They will go down yes...but PS4 will be a very strong console, most likely the best selling this gen.

It's the same thing, just bhecause Nintendo is the market leader doesn't mean sony cannot sell theri own abd be succeasfull PSP says Hi. Your thinking is woefully imept./

I am sure they would love to be first, but I doubt they thought they would beat 3ds, they never beat the original DS either but PSP was a good success. It's how it works....

I have already said nearly word for word what you just posted. Even of they are in last they still make money, build IPs, expand the sony brand....ect. Already mentioned this.
