Here's another ridiculous thread title for the OP to make: "Xbox 360 set to overtake PS2". The mods need to clean up some of the shit threads on here.

Who knows, maybe MS decides to support X360 for 50 more years selling it for 1.99


The statement was meant to be ridiculous (I guess you missed the "ridiculous thread title" part).  Do you really think that Vita will make it to 85-90 million sales?  Think about it for a minute it's really not that hard to realize it's not going to happen.  I see threads like this all the time and it's obvious that the people that make them put almost no thought into them.

Here're some things for you to think about.  The amount of competition that Vita has is increasing, even Sony itself is creating competition for Vita with Playstation Now.  Go take a look at how game spending on IOS and Android is increasing and take a look at their trends compared to dedicated gaming handhelds.  This isn't rocket science it should be pretty obvious to everyone what is happening.

You can claim Vita TV or PS4 remote play is going to save Vita and someone make is a huge seller but when you look at the big picture you'll come to realize that while they're interesting ways to use the technology they aren't going to change a thing.  The early adopters buying PS4s are the ones most likely to buy a Vita and the impact they've had on Vita sales to date just doesn't support the belief that somehow it'll lead to a 50+ million increase in sales.

I don't know why I'm even bothering trying to explain it since I haven't seen even one post from you that should make me take you seriously (90% of Xbox 360s are replacements, etc) so instead of wasting my time on you I'll spend it on other posters.  Could someone message me the way to ignore users on here again, thanks.

Yes you have the option to ignore users... just look who is and decid to not click on reply. Quite simple for someone so knowledgable.

Whilst I think the Vita sales will continue to rise, I do not think they will even come close to matching the sales of the last-gen consoles. I love my Vita and cannot stress enough how useful/awesome remote play is!

I had forgotten the Vita was also getting PlayStation Now. I think a new Vita should be released with a full 1080p screen as anything less than that is a little weak nowadays. I am right in saying the Vita is sup-1080p aren't I?

Yes... As far as I know is sub 720p, but since the screen is small the image quality seems better than PS3.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but there's no chance that Playstation NOW, PSVita TV and remote play will boost sales anywhere near enough to do that.  It's like you think it's possible that the Vita will outsell the 3DS now because of it.  "PS Vita yearly sales 30m+ confirmed"?
