Lol, this whole article is based on an assumption that Sony must've had low expectations to exceed it's original goal. Then they try to use the 3DS to say if it sold x amount, the Vita an't do the same. "It just can't". Gotta love the US media, never know when to admit that they were wrong. Handhelds are not doomed.
"No way they could have good sales. We predicted that it was DOOMED!...DOOOOMED!"
Sweet deal.
@ doctor
The thing is, you two try to act like you don't even know each other when commenting here. Like two individuals with two different Vitas (as if trying to add to the toll of people with hectic Vitas) when you both share one Vita and are part of the same site.
Doc: "My Vita broke"
Sev: "Yeah, mine too"
Me: "No ****, you both share a Vita"
Edit: Funny thing about the BLOD...
Luckily it didn't affect me but it good to see Sony responding back and keep people updated on things.
Yeah, Vita didn't crash but it gave me an error the third playthrough. Sony's probably gonna make some adjustments in the upcoming maintenance next week.
@ doctor and Sev
Both of you are journalists or are part of the pslifestyle site right? Notice that you two are always the first to comment on it's articles and respond back to each other as if authenticating the story (BLOD article lol).
Better to pull and fix than let those issues continue.
I agree, way too early. Lmao at the sudden dislikes in that youtube video I linked. That wasn't even my video XD.
@ gaming
You see what the 360 did to their home? Consoles should not explode or catch fire like that.
Edit: @ gypsygib above
QFT.
The games and features I remote played with the Vita worked pretty damn good.

"Quickly, it dawned on me. While Sony profiled the New York event and took the PlayStation team and some celebrities there, the LA event was mentioned on the PlayStation Blog once— with a broken link nonetheless."
LA and Chicago usually get the shaft with those big launch events. I brought my Vita from Best Buy anyway (Not driving way out to the Sony store). Glad to hear about your Vita buy though. Looks like you went with Modnation Racers. I picked up MvC3 and Ninj...
"I didn’t like the introduction personally, and attempted to skip it but couldn’t. After finally getting passed that they also have a “welcome” app, but I haven’t sat through all of that either. Most of the stuff Vita does are common sense to anyone using a smartphone, but will also be explained at the beginning of almost every single game you buy. So I see no need to sit through it all just yet"
You'll be surprised at how some things that are common sense to you f...
The US Media wants the Vita to get hacked to pirate games so bad lol. I'm sure hackers are already trying though, Ripten doesn't need to push them to do so.
Probably to add more/fix small connection problems for the Vita as well as stability. I think the last update now let's you playing more PSN titles on the device, almost all.
Man, why would someone do that? Microsoft tells you not to put stuff on your 360 while it's on or you might get RROD. No wonder the place burnt down.
Edit: I'm with crazy on this one. Someone could have gotten seriously hurt or killed by that device. Glad everyone made it out ok though. Just my opinion guys.
@ Endoran
Unless you were being sarcastic? It's not a Blue Light of Death, but a freeze that you reboot your Vita to fix. You know, like if your PS3 freezes or PC. PSLifestyle needs hits I guess lol.
Edit: The funny part about this article as well is that the Vita light is ALWAYS blue. Which is what doctorstrange and Sev got caught on down below lol.
"It’s a LOT bigger than an iPhone, and although it’s smaller than an iPad, the latter can still be utilized fairly easily by tiny hands, where the Vita will not be."
Lol, why would you give a kid an iPhone or an iPad (???) to play with rather than an gaming handheld if he/she just wants to play games?
@ doctor
But the thing is, you are trolling. I'm not even sure you even own a PS Vita after your "the blue light is the general error symbol". It's always blue and always on on the Vita.
Edit: "It flashes more" XD
Advertising 101. E3 booth babes and models used to show off new hardware (Launch of the PS3, Wii, 360), in commercials, and then there's Bayonetta.
Also in the US (Cheerleaders!)...

Ooh, Gee like...(MXC show)
"Sony several models will be appearing at “Vita Hill Social Clubs” to play some games with lucky visitors. Sure it may be an excuse to play games with busty women, but that sounds like a winning combination to me."
Same here. Looks like Sony has learned how to advertise in the US.
@ Keats
Do you have a link to Sony's expected numbers for the US (Not talking about any "I'd be happy to see", but a set official number to make)? So how would you or I know? Exactly...
@ Wenis
I know! Comments that add nothing to the topic and "complain" about other people complaining about the quality and actual contents of an article.
