Stop drawing attention to Vita's awful sales by comparing it to another console with awful sales. Which it'll get absolutely destroyed by.


80k difference WOW ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!

I dont think you follow sales of these consoles.

The Vita has been more or less shipping the same amount of consoles as Wii U in the last 2 years.


WiiU will almost double vita's sales in 2015, that's my prediction.

WiiU - 3.9m

Vita - 2.1m

 

Also I said it will not it has, the 80k comment you made is stupid.

Honestly, i don't know the sense of this thread. Of course you think that PSVita will sell more than Wii U this year... weel, we will see.

Just, don't forget that during the Holidays Wii U usually double/Triple the PSVita sales.


Do you have any proof for this? (and please don't say VGChartz)

Holiday 2012:

Wii U sold Japan+USA around 1.6 million versus the 600k of PSVita

 

Holiday 2013:

Wii U sold Japan+USA around 1.2 million VS 650k Vita

 

Holiday 2014:

Wii U sold Japan+USA around 1 million VS 450k Vita

I said the bolded to kerotan in  a little bit different way in another thread,it is completely right!We are bros!:P

Dr vita...Forgot that wii u  even outsold ps vita in Japan for the whole December in 2014...

It's inevitable,wii u will pass ps vita this year by holidays if not earlier,ps vita recently outsold wii u in  some weeks(thanks to Japan and god eater but it has not every week a god eater...)SO WHAT?It has happened in 2014 too,but the gap closed dramatically!It's just a matter of time,as I have said a console that gets support,love and attention from its company cannot be outsold from one that doesn't get these from its company,unless a miracle happens!The ps vita vs wii u  is  the new wii u vs xbone...;) lol :P 

Furthmore,ok lets accept what ps vita lead fortune-tellers saying that the imminent game releases won't do many things in favor of wii u(I don't have big expectations but I'm optimistic,at least they will prevent a sharp drop) but I really can't accept it while being said by people who basing a lot for their vita lead prediction to the irrelavant console gaming market,China or use as an argument some Japanese ps vita game releases...The reasons are obvious!

P.s it shocks me that dr vita accepts the two weeks ps vita lead which is by vgc numbers but when you  saying him that wii  u double/triple ps vita's sales in holidays,which is the sheer truth,he replies to you:''Any proof?please don't say me vgc''This is a little bit discrepant...

++++++++++1 I expect a little more about wii u,4m :P(As for the vita I need to do a research before saying anything)!:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Lets pray for a price cut for wii u, in order to sell way more but NINTENDO/IWATA seem to be reluctant to do it...


As I ve said several times today,some people forget that the gap is closing dramatically on holidays,you know why,I'm tired repeating...

So judging by now,is untimely...

I just know they won't.  Zelda is the only mainstream game on the list.  These are nearly the only games releasing too.  The bumps will be temporary.  


"You just know" well you can't know until they release.

So what can you say about Fire Emblem? Awakening sold over .50m than the original and over 1m than its predessecor. No one thought that would sell that much.

The original Xenoblade sold .89m with limited availablility, almost no advertisment and since then, Shulk was added to Smash, giving the series a TON of popularity, X will be distributed a lot more. Everything fits in.

"These are nearly the only games releasing too" Here is a list for you.

Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda U, Star Fox U, Devil's Third, Yoshi's Woolly World, Project GUARD, Project Giant Robot, Fatal Frame V, Project CARS, Rodea The Sky Soldier, Legend of Kay, LEGO Jurassic World, Project Treasure, Mario Party 10, Mario Maker, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (not sure on release date due to Atlus not providing any news for it) (and now for unnanounced games that are obviously in the works, Animal Crossing U (this will be a HUGE boost) Metroid U(so will this even though this would most likely release in 2016)

Plus, don't forget the games that haven't been announced yet.

Oh so I'm not allowed have a gut instinct but I have to accept everyone else proclaiming a big boost.  

 

If I have to wait and see them so do you.  Until then I'm predicting minimal boosts for all these games.  On their respective launch weeks a few 10k boosts at best.

Well, you are using VGChartz numbers for this chart, so I don't see why he can't use VGChartz for proof.

China might help a little but that is also when Mario Party 10 releases and that is going to be a system seller. So we will see. Either way, when the big hitters, (Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon etc) hit the Wii U this summer, it is guaranteed that the Wii U sales will be up way higher than Vita.


The Wii U will be higher for sure but the reality is zelda is the only big hitter nintendo has this year.  And that might be delayed. 


No. If you do not believe that Xeno and Splatoon together will have a similar impact as MK8 did last year then I don't know what to say.

Xenoblade for sure is going to be a big hitter, Splatoon? It has the potential. Depends on how it is marketed.

Zelda yes is a HUGE hitter but so is Star Fox U. Don't forget about that either.

"And that might get delayed" sorry about your Uncharted getting delayed but Zelda U is not getting delayed. Trust me on this one.


I'd say Splatoon would probably bring a bigger boost than Xenoblade

Looks like the vita won't be much behind this year after a full 3 months of sales. The question is will it lose by more than a million for the last 9 months.



Mr.Playstation on 12 March 2015

Wow ☺, the Vita is holding its own.
