the king has returned to its rightful place. It's going to breeze 5m LTD (297k to go). It's just proving how ridiculous the logic was, when people said the vita would die last year or this year. "handhelds only last till year 5". That only applies to handhelds that sell gangbusters in those first 3-4 years. The vita will have a long and steady life and I can only see its software support increasing. A great line up this year already.

It's a sony console, haha. What sony console ever has a short life? xD Also, the Vita has a ways to go before it can be claimed king. o:

My reasoning capabilities were recently bought, so I'm back as a going concern

You might be interested in an explanation, so here goes. There are two ways to look at your statement.

Vita YTD almost equal to last years (and more if you use constant weeks), I thought handhelds were not supposed to rise in their fifth year in Japan?

1. This year encompasses only four weeks so far, including one with a notable game release. It's very flawed to extrapolate numbers for the whole year from such a sample.

2. Your statement was an obvious reference to a discussion we had last week. You claimed that mobile is killing everything in Japan and pointed at the 3DS's declining sales in its fifth year as proof; I countered by saying that it's normal for a video game system (home consoles and handhelds) to see decline at that point in the lifecycle. While above in point 1 I pointed out why your reasoning is bad, let's assume it is good for a moment. In that case you are undermining your argument from last week because mobile is evidently not killing everything in Japan like you claimed.

Any way you look at it, it doesn't look good for you.

1.  You may see it as flawed, I don't.  People extrapolate future numbers with even less information/no information, especially on this site. Being four weeks and one big game in is plenty enough data for me to make this statement.

2. My claim is not changing.  Mobile is still killing everything in Japan and my proof was the 2014 Famitsu report for all sales for the videogame market in Japan and how the Mobile portion commanded +50% of those sales dollars, which I gave data for.

Hahaha Tbone51.... I bet some 3DS owners are buying a vita right now lol. now that sony and other devs know what the vita needs to sell, we will see more 'ps vita First!!'

Not when you sell as much as the Psvita = 4.5m+ 

Soooooooooooooo the vita is breaking something (so far) that is common knowledge?  I though the system was dead?

Vita seems healthier than the Wii U does.

Not sure why people lable it as dead. It still gets plenty of new games titles.

DQB seemed to have done pretty good..? I guess I expected higher considering it's DQ and Minecraft, which I figure Japanese people really like both of them.

Think there where stock issues, atleast someone wrote so on neogaf.

Still 373k or so DBQ FW (across 3 platforms) is decent.

I can see that,  vita will continue to sell for a couple more years. I'm sure we'll see it in first place 3-5 more times this year. (depends on ps4)

DQ BUILDERS! YEAH!!! The power of DQ and Minecraft was an obvious seller. Can't wait to see them legs.



outlawauron on 03 February 2016

Pretty good FW for DQB. A far larger effect on HW than I was expecting considering how long Minecraft has been out. It should have great legs for a DQ game, but it won't have near the legs of Minecraft. Too expensive.

Welp, I expected more from Dragon Quest Builders... but I guess it will have good legs, so we need to wait and see.

Btw, crazy Vita numbers. Is it due to DQB release? Anyway, amazing results for it and PS4. Wii U disappointed this week, I expected it to stay above 10k especially with Mario Tennis releasing this week.

PS: Notice how Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival is stealthy selling. Soon it will go from bomb to decent success. That's not really cool. lol



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

Farsala on 03 February 2016

I don't get this 5th year talk? Vita just started its 4th year 2 months ago (Japan Only).
