Forums - Sales - PS Vita under 3.4k in the US for the month of April

You guys should come to California, they're building houses with all the unsold Vitas around here... Haha! You can even build your own business, buy a bunch of Vitas and sell them at profit wherever you guys live that have supplies issues... Haha!

Vita is getting games nearly every week by 3rd party in Japan it's not the case in West sometimes we don't get any games for severals month.


It averages at 1 physical release per week in Europe at the moment. I think US gets more physical releases too. It's Wii U that goes weeks on end without a release.

I'm on my phone atm so can't post the list. It's had a better line-up than the 3DS in 2014 though.

They are all japanese games localisation it's will only attract a so limited group of people



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

The question is if a small dedicated group (including me) can support the system. I hope so becasue I love it thus far.

Indeed. They missed out on at least 8,000 more sales in this period.

Stop being such a Nintendo fanatic, Outlaw. I've come to expect better!



Absolutely dreadful. Vita will always be a dirty stain on the PlayStation brand picture. These are seriously the worst sales I've ever seen for any piece of electronic entertainment device and it's coming from the strongest brand in industry. It is completely mind boggling

But that's a different proposition. You said it had a game every few months.

 

Whether it's gonna sell any systems or not is a different is another matter.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

The topic talk about why vita sold poorly and not what ever you like those games or not.

Despite everything, in the end of the day Vita will be remembered as an object of well made hardware that had everything to be successful but was no match for the wave of smartphones/tablets. it will also be remembered as the least successful Sony console, and the only one that fails to top the top 10 sold consoles. by that time, Sony has already 5 on that top anyway, mostly for sure: ps, ps2, ps3, psp and ps4.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Does it even matter anymore? I mean so what if it does terrible? Its still getting a fair amount of support for those who wanted it in the first place. It's doing decent for its niche fanbase. However i still blame sony for the lack of proper support outside Japan.

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030
