Forums - Sales - 2015 will be the biggest year for the Vita!

I hope so as well. China will definitely give a nice boost but what we want is a nice stream of good games. The Vita is an amazing device with so much potential.

2015 is looking good for PS4, and understandably it is their main focus but I would like to see Sony invest some money in getting some more exclusive content from publishers.

This is compounded by the fact that a lot of publishers like Square see mobile as a cash cow. And it is. Why spend money on development when you can sell cheap mobile games and rack in cash?

It all depends on its performance in japan. Its hard to gauge that market and I definitely see the Vita's success there simply being tied to software. How many of us saw Yokai watch or Monster Hunter turning into what they did?Not to say its to reproduce one of those but If one of its titles next year catch on become a must have we could see a much higher baseline. I'm looking at Resident Evil Revalations 2, One Piece Warriors 3, Persona, Sword Arts Online and Digimon as potential hardware pushers next Q1/Spring. Problem is so many of the systems sellers are multplat.

Yeah, no. The Vita is now a port and indie machine with a sprinkling of JRPGs, it's never going to have the success it did in 2012 again.

Also, it's going to flop in China. The Chinese love mobile free to play games, what makes you think they are going to want to buy an expensive console with expensive ports?

Most people have no idea whats the situ with Chinese market. Unless we have case studies of what previous handhelds have done there, we can't really jump to firm projections. Japan also love mobile free to play game....

2 million at best in 2015. I'd be amazed at more than that. Unless of course....it gets hacked wide open like the PSP did, thats always good for a sales boost.



PREDICTIONS FOR END OF 2015: (Made Jan 1st 2015)

PS4 - 34M - XB1 - 21m - WII U -12M

2 million is too low. It did this in this year and next year it has China.

2011 = 0.48m 
2012 = 3.67m
2013 = 3.20m
2014 = Currently 1.87m

2015 = 4.00m
Why? -> China release (1m), Japan (1.5m), Europe (600k), NA (400k), Rest of World (500k)


These predictions are way off imo

2012 was it's peak year and will stay it's peak year forever

I think it will sell more in 2015 than 2014, but not more than 2013

I can only see it doing good if Cina loves it. Otherwise it will be below 2-3mil, which isn't bad imo.

I doubt it will do well in China,and it will surely do worst then this year in Japan for west it could sold as much as this year or worst



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
