Vita went straight down, But expected with 2012 BF killing this week vita sales!

Info in front, vita down holiday by over 80k and Down YoY by around 450k-500k


Black Friday was earlier last year, thus the huger bump. For the next week(Week ending 30th) we will compare black friday sales. I have already accepted Vita's failure to be up year on year, but at least it tried, lol. Actually it tried very well since last year it launched both in America and Europe.

If vita doesn't go up YoY that means it sold less than 3.6mil, it has to sell over 4mil in 2014, lots of games coming

Impossible. Vita is dead in US, and I doubt Vita can sell 2 million each in Europe and Japan.

Currently [483k vs 402k] *2012 Winning

BF 2012 had 221k while this year had 156k, i reallt thought this year would be greater but just shows you X1/PS4/etc really mess up each other sales (i think)

Around the Network

Last year with two bundles, one a bad cod that sold well against this years nothing (but price cut) not bad, with ffx still coming this year and year end boost, it should make it up y/y



Vita's goose is cooked. They should stick a fork in it. Even keeping it on as a PS4 controller doesn't seem like a viable option, it just drives the price up. Vita TV isn't moving units in Japan, I'd pull the plug. Its like the Sega Gamegear.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

lol, it's a tbone thread, Vita doom threads are like porn to him!

@Arius: Vita is only just beginning a cycle and Sony's cycles are known to be longest out of all companies. Look at how powerful it is; at the rate Nintendo improves their hardware, Vita will likely have enough power to compete with a next gen system. Also, power doesn't seem to matter much, the Vita just needs to be kept afloat and getting price drops until it gets lucky with an accidental killer app.

lol! I'm just not sure this years' efforts on the Vita can match 2012's'. Last year we had exclusive COD and AssCreed, both with bundles and White Vita, all that stuff. This year we get VitaTV, GE2, FFX very late, most stuff is JP only and Tearaway that is a new IP and might not have much casual appeal. There's also competition from new consoles that steal the spotlight and might cannibalize some sales.

I know, it's not a pointless thread (mostly joking about your threads), Vita has a chance to beat last year but I'm a bit skeptical about it. It might not happen.
