Forums - Sony Discussion - Why did Vita sell 30k in eu this week?

Its Tearaway time!



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

To summarize:

- It had a price drop and was already priced fairly competatively in Europe (i.e. amazon.de bundles; Argos UK bundles).

- All of Sony's systems are the face of the Champion's League, so get plenty of advertising through that.

- Nintendo's numbers for the year had Vita doing better than we've been tracking it all along; so these numbers reflect what will be a continuing upwards trend towards the holidays.

It's like many said, it was selling better than usual for a while as the 3DS charts show. I know it seems I'm advertising my thread but you can see it here :P :

Omg!  Thanks for this.  I was looking for the english version of this thread for ages but I couldn't find it, so I ended up using Trainwreck's thread with the japanese version.

I guess it's because you posted it in "Nintendo discussion" rather than "Sales discussion" that I missed it.

But thanks for linking this; will use this version fron now on.

Should it be sales? I can change it. I was caught between the two tbh
