The vita is obviously catching up in sales and third party support, but it wont outsell the 3DS in lifetime.


This.


Catching up would imply that it is outselling the 3DS weekly, which it is not. The 3DS continues to increase the gap every single week.

Just ten thousand more a week in system sales and it'll have that as well.

What can be done for the 3DS? Or what can the vita do to cement this amazing turn around?

Do you realise Vita in Japan is selling worse than last year!?

Also, Nintendo today on Direct announced lot of new 3DS staffs for Japan.

But gap won't grow as big as 2013 and 2014.

Why do people care so much about the weekly sales of two dying handhelds?

Is the 3DS a dying handheld? Then I guess every system, except PS4, is beyond dead. .-.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I miss the weekly sales numbers... : (

Both consoles are down in sales and I do not see anything that will change that trajectory.  Basically its all downhill from here, give or take a few blips.

That means, I think the 3DS will be _lucky_, extremely lucky, to get 80m lifetime sales. The PSV is the same with 15m lifetime sales (maybe 20m).  That's right, the 3DS will end with at max half the sales of the original DS.  The PSV 1/4 the sales of the PSP.  

That is pathetic. 

And no the other consoles are not yet dying because they are not yet in their full descent sales trajectory.  Though I do believe all but the PS4 will end with lower than their previous gen.  The Wii U will end with a very sizable decrease from the previous gen.

The whole dedicated video game market has shrunk sizably.

I'm sorry, but that's not pathetic. If anything, last gen was an anomaly. The 3DS is setting to sell about as similar as previous Nintendo handhelds. While the Vita is clearly a flop, it's also still doing better than previous Nitendo HH competitors.
