Vita TV released on Nov 14th in japan and its debut was 42k! GE2 released same day with increase sales of the handheld vita to around 46k sales!

 

My Question to you is how did it do FW? No doubt Sony will bring this over to the West, especially since its more better in that market than japan!

 

anyway post your thoughts!!!

If it did roughly the same as Vita and Vita 2000 then its not to bad, especially when Vita had the GE2 LE Bundle



Not great imo. It will drop like a mother fucker.

Provided a 80K boost in one day.

 

Wtf were you expecting? 



Pretty much like I thought, though people were telling me I was crazy and it would actually sell hundreds of thousands of units. This is not a device that people were asking for, it's a basically a new product launch, so there was no pent up demand. On the other hand, if word of mouth is good in terms of the internet video services, I think it has the potential to turn steady numbers and perhaps build up to a popular item.

Even though I didn't expect much from the launch, I'm optimistic about Vita TV's long-term numbers.

Vita TV will sell hundred of thousands (maybe 100k-200k) FW in US+Europe imo. In japan it wont do so well but will definitely help, its biggest feat imo is the ps4 connectivity which japan wont have intill Feb.



It did alright but a little lower than I expected. I hope it is released in many other parts of the world and it does really well. I do like remote play and the connectivity to the PS4, but it would be better if developers looked at the Vita as a standalone device and continue making exclusive games for it.



A wolf wandering through the dark....

They should advertise it as a streaming box in Japan, oh yeah and it plays GE and MH (even if it is the MMO)

Vita TV is at 42k though. I didn't expect more honestly, it actually exceed my expectation, but it doesn't take away the fact that I think it won't do well.
