Man, the handheld market has really plummeted since the PSP/DS days. The only chance Sony has of getting the Vita to sell more is do what Nintendo does with the 3DS - sell it to kids.

Nothing Sony does will get It to sell like 3DS


I'm sure they can if they make it much cheaper than the competition, drop support for their consoles, spend $50M in the US to market (not make, just market) a kiddy franchise, they'll be able to do 3DS numbers.

So drop the price of Vita to $99, abandon PS3/PS4 and spend $50 million in advertising for Vita Pets? I still think 3DS would still outsell it.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

that wont happen, not in todays market. Vita best thing now is a ps4 accessory with some good games here and there. Sony will dominate the home console market but handhelds Vita will be lucky to sell over 40mil lifetime.

Dont they have some kid franchises? that nintendog franchise (srry dont know name)

Have there been any software numbers so far that weren't heavily overtracked by VGC?

WW LTD
Standalone < 100k
Bundle < 100k

VGC has the standalone version at more than double that.

The above but also spend several other millions making an anime for Vita Pets. That would help the Vita outsell the PSP which in turn means outselling the 3DS.

Of course that won't happen - how dumb would Sony be to drop the PS4 which will be the best selling system of next gen (handhelds included)?

Woah Woah there buddy, ps4 most likely be the best selling home console by far but you dont kno if it will outsell 3DS lifetime. Dont make full accusations yet. Last time i checked 3DS is selling 13mil+ per year.

An anime about virtual pets would cause Vita to outsell 3DS?

Also I believe 3DS will outsell PSP, its tracking on par with GBA and as long as its cycle isnt cut short then I see no reason why it wont pass it.
