Why are you comparing a Handheld console sells with a home console ones?

Oh god, still only about 10k behind, not bad 

I think it's a possibility. PS4 doing great in Europe can prop up Vita and slow down XBONE. Plus Vita is ahead by over 1.5 million. If it consistently outsold it by 10k per week like it just did, that'd take three years to pass it. Setting the bet for Jan 1st, 2016 makes me feel pretty good about it. Bet accepted.

These threads always give lots of LOL's. People celebrating their favouite console's victory in weekly sales only for a correction to turn the result on its head. This happens time and time again but it seems some people never learn. Percentage wise corrections on this site are not small.

It's pointless arguing sales figures provided by this site. We can agree PS4 is currently outselling XBox One but forget about anything remotely close in sales unless one console is selling double the other and this is confirmed by other sources.

Because it doesn't make sense. Vita's competition is 3DS, if not i can compare PS4 sales with PC sales for example? Both are gaming platforms

Just saying, do what you want but it doesn't make sense, and less if you only compare the sales of the country where the platform you like is winning. If you are going to compare them at least take the whole chart with global sells where vita outsells my ass

Dude its ok, Vita didn't outsell X1 lol

Xbox One still has to launch in many countries which will probably cut down that number by several hundred thousand.  It still has Titanfall, Halo 5, Quantum Break, Mojang's next game, and other AAA exclusives to come out which will help push the system.  There's also the pricecut that will likely happen in the next two years, possibly by as much as $100.  And there's the possibility of a cheaper kinectless SKU that would push even more systems.

Compare that to Vita which looks to have major third party support in the West drying completely up.  It will likely depend almost solely on niche Japanese games and indies to push new sales.  It could see a pricecut but that could put it into the position of selling at a loss which Sony has always been reluctant to do.  It's appeal almost solely to very hardcore gamers likely means that a larger percentage the systems potential buyers probably already have one compared to a system with broader appeal. 

There's also the fact that gaming handhelds face far more competition and it only appears to be growing compared to gaming consoles.  This is likely due to the costs and risks of AAA gaming development keeping competition against gaming consoles in check.  Compare that to Xbox One which even though it faces very stiff competition against PS4 at least has a very weakened Nintendo console to help pick up the slack.

Bet accepted.

Haha dat thread title change, epic

Nope. Vita would be selling well if Sony were happy with it. I'm sure they're not. Point being, it has nothing to do with competition, but profitability. 

People should maybe not be too hasty in creating new threads when sales figures come since I am guessing some major adjustments might happen in the beginning of 2014. Nice to see this adjustment though, also noticed that PS4 isn't above WiiU+X1 either as was the OP in some other thread :).
