Makes sense, finding a new one was impossible since sony sent no shipments.


You could turn this into "it's outsold everywhere! We need more shipments!"

third party fault



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

It's an artificial shortage to raise hype.

Who's to blame for the poor first party support?

Better support from Sony could help move more hardware. I'm curious to see if they bother bringing Vita TV to the west.

Sony first party won't do nothing Sony success was always depending on 3rd party,and also Microsoft or Nintendo in a lesser extend.

You know what this means, right? Sub-3K sales for the month of May, as 2000 still won't have released. 600 a week nationwide? How much can 2000 hope to increase that? Not enough.

3DS isn't even close to this. Not even comparable, unfortunately. Sony is not using this thing's potential.

Are people really saying this is due to supply.... wow.


Where's your sarcasm detector gone, or is this sarcasm too... IDK!



If the remodel didn't do shit can we call it the definitive flop?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I think supply because Sony discontinued the 1000 model so theres been no shipments at all, no one believes its because of insane demand. 

2000 model is shipping now, number will go up, but still be awful. 



I was absolutely not shocked by this, frightening yes, but not surprising.
Latter month it had FFXHD and yet didn't manage to surpass 10k, April was dull and the 3.4k makes totally sense especially with the BL2 Bundle. The vita was also nowhere to be found at retailers, Gamestop had only used ones, so I guess those don't count.
