I cant take you seriously then...

Vits is, and has been, a disaster in Japan.

 

You call 5-10M lifetime in Japan a disaster? Well then you haven't seen Xbox, Dreamcast or GameGear sales.

There a difference between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000. :P

Is like: "you call 15-100M lifetime globally a disaster?"

Any way, if PSVita will sell 5,000,000 LT will be ok.

Nice sales all around, except for poor NISA, and KoeiT as well, but Kagero's extension was destined to flop, PS4 version didn't chart at all.
And guys, please chill. We don't care which console sold best, just support all of them for the sake of a brighter gaming future!

Bloodborne 150k, Sword Art Online (PS Vita) 140k and Sword Art Online (PS3) 50k are good!
One Piece haven't reached 100k on PS3 and Vita / PS4 versions under 50k, meh... Hope for good legs!
Minecraft, Mario Party 10 and Digimon have good legs, nice!
Baseball Spirits 2015 and Kagura Estival Versus did also a decent job. 

Great PS4 hardware numbers! Hope that it won't drop very hard next week.
PS Vita is not over 30k (which I hoped), but 28k is a good job. Hope for it to stay at good numbers.
3DS is slowly starting to die. 
Wii U never had a chance in Japan...


28k is a "good job" for Vita but the 3DS is "slowly dying" with 25k?

 

wut?

The DS had plenty of revisions, the same amount as the 3DS in fact.

There was the ugly DS at launch in December 2004 and the DSlite afterward in March 2006. DSi was released in November 2008.

There's a stark difference between that release schedule than what Nintendo did with 3DS. Launched in 2011, first remodel in 2012. 2DS launched in 2013 (irrelevant for Japan, but it still exists) and the new3DS launched in 2014. The overall number isn't as important as their freqency imo.

DS-Dec 2004 vs 3DS-Feb 2011

DS Lite-Mar 2006 vs 3DS XL-July 2012

DSi-Nov 2008 vs New 3DS-Oct 2014

DSi XL-Nov 2009 vs New 3DS XL-Oct 2014

It's basically the same scenario



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Vita is dead. 3DS starting to match Vita sales, also clearly dead XD

well Disgaea 5 numbers don't bode that well for a "brighter gaming future". Certainly care more about that than which console sells best

You can't compare both together in sales... Look at 3DS sales in 2014, they were much better than this year! 




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Considering the size of the install base Bloodbornes sales is pretty decent in JPN.

You cant say that either, because Vita currently is down 25% YoY and 3DS is currently down 11%.

Also 3DS is doing well with only like 1 major release and 3-4 ok ones for the entire year so far
