What do you want them to say??? Why do you expect Vita sales to be higher than that?

Based on the past year or so is easy to say that we didn't expected much from the vita. But before the HW was released everybody thought that it was going to be the 3DS killer.

I see this posted every time there's a vita related discussion and I'd like to know who that "everybody" was. I'm assuming you're all referring to one user, because the vast majority of people posting here did not believe for a second that it'd be the 3ds killer. At best they were predicting higher sales than psp.

Not everybody but definitely some, (i mean low like 1 out of every 10 people). This was before 3DS was doing well! There is one thread not to long ago somebody bumped. It had them answers your looking for. I cant find it though :-/

Anywayz It doesn't matter, Nintendo and Sony have a Huge Hit and a dead Console/Handheld while M$ stands in the middle lol

O_o

Had you been lurking here for 18 months before you signed up, Tbone, or are you basing your evidence on one single thread?

If the former - blimey.  If the latter - hmm...

I seen more than 5 threads, they were necro bumped (mostly by spurge lol). Biggest one being that guy (i think his nname was gigamelsh or something like that) had a prediction of vita killing 3ds and had so many post. It was fun reading them

Firstly, I'm disappointed in your lack of knowledge of Final Fantasy character names.  You can buy Theatrhythm on 3DS so there's no excuse!

Secondly, ah.  Moving on from here, then.  He makes wildly silly predictions like 20m 3DS in 2013 Vita killing 3DS.

It is time, Sony. Time to bring back Marcus PSP.

Ugh, that little prick was the worst thing to come from Sony in the 7th gen, along with that insufferable arsewipe Kevin Butler.

It´s really interesting to read threads like this. It seems to some people Sony can´t do no wrong and when they fail it´s always the fault of someone else. While quite honestly Sony really fucked up spectacularly, that´s highlighted by PSVs hardware sales in Japan where every excuse that has been used in favour of Sony sounds ridiculous since there handhelds have been far more popular than consoles for some years now.

The main problem is quite clear unappealing games and lackluster Sony support for the system.

Since some seem to deny that part of the press and gaming industry really thought PSV could beat the 3DS here´s a link (there had been quit a lot similar ones back in 2011).

and the obvious troll Pachter

They did send a message, to everyone's Vita. But since no one has one, it remained obscure news...
