There is an article on N4G that shows all the PlayStation system went though the same high sales first week, lower sales second week process. So it seems that this is not a rare occurrence. Remember most of Sony's systems have gone on to sell tens and hundreds of millions of units all of them with the same 'it will probably fail' attitude behind it.
Also remember that Sony sold most of the units they shipped in the short time the VITA was in Japan and they haven&#...
People walk around with their tablets in their bags so I don't see why you would do the same with the 3DS or VITA. People don't seem to have any problem carrying around something twice as big and twice as heavy as a 3DS and VITA,so why should you have a problem carrying a handheld around?
Also the quality and selection of phone games are no where near the level of handhelds. No gamer believes that.A 10 for a phone game is not the same as a 10 for a handheld game. The...
No thanks. Sony most likely will create security patches that could eliminate these types of things. I really don't want to go through the same cat and mouse rubbish the hackers and pirates try to play with these companies just to play some Genesis games on my VITA. People don't seem to realize that emulators means that your still stealing. Want to bet Sega doesn't support emulators.
Exactly. This is not a rare occurrence. It seems natural for sales to fall below the original first week sales before it begins to sell better. Sony shipped 500,000 units and sold almost all of them.So I don't know what the running around talking about price cuts and failure at such an early stage .
The VITA still has several months to gain steam and several games still coming up.It hasn't even launch worldwide yet.So before people start with the 'fail parade'...
@ death2smoochie Its strange how we had this conversation a short while ago with the Move and a while ago with Bluray. People on forums and everywhere on the net are always so sure what everyone will pay for. Its always 'no one will pay for that' and not many people will buy that' and most of the time you don't have a clue what you are talking about. It is way to early in the game to be talking price cuts. Sony basically sold most of what they shipped and haven't even had ...
@ blaaah . They sold almost every VITA they initially shipped. They haven't even had a chance to ship more and people are already with the doom articles. How is selling most of what you shipped disappointing? Disappointing to who?
Before they got better games later on the PSP was beating the 3DS in Japan. I didn't hear anyone using the word disappointing then. What happened to the same 'give it a chance' attitude everyone had with the 3DS? What, that doesn...
Oh yeah that is great logic.
'Hey guys I THINK we might not do so well in NA or EU because everyone THINKS that cellphones MIGHT beat our handheld'
'Oh really? Well okay then pack up all the VITAs in as many boxes as you can find, lock them in a warehouse and throw the key away. Hey since it LOOKS like its not doing well in Japan too we might as well stop selling it there too'
'No price drop or new games or bundles or anything?'...
Ummmm.......remember, Nintendo didn't have any of these 'aces' at launch. Their launch line up was terrible. Compared to the 3DS's launch line up the VITA's is much better. They have more games and they are scoring better too.
So I am not sure why people are leaping on this. The VITA just needs a few more games and some time to get it moving faster. Sony has sold most of what they stated that they shipped.As per usual the premature 'Sony is doomed'...
Good score.
Sony sold almost all the VITAs they shipped. So I am not sure what people are talking about. The VITA hasn't even launched around the world yet and it is already doomed.Just shut up already.
I agree. How is it people seem to think Sony deserves everything that happens to them these days. I just saw a post saying Sony DESERVES to be hacked. Seriously if companies got want they DESERVED, Microsoft and Apple would be bankrupt and being chased through the streets by rabid dogs.
All throughout the Sony PSN hack I listened to how the deserved it. Microsoft was and is one of the most underhanded,lying, money grubbing companies in the world and yet you don't hear th...
@ Optical_Matrix and ExgamerLegends. *claps hands* Thank you very much. A drop of sense in a sea of ignorance. Sony shipped 500,000 units and sold almost all of it already. Strange how people jumped to the 3DS's defense saying 'Give it a chance', 'wait until Mario comes out' and 'all it needs is a price drop' while the media echoed their sentiment.
Now instead of showing the same mercy they did with the 3DS to the VITA instead its 'You see I tol...
The PSV sells about 400,000 units in a short time more then half the amount they shipped and Sony is in big trouble says the gaming community. I mean what happened to giving it a chance? A hundred articles jumped up crying about giving the 3DS a chance but a hundred articles pop up about the PSV's doom. It hasn't even gone worldwide and its doom articles all over again. I mean doesn't anyone learn? Do you just repeat the same thing over and over again without a thought in your hea...
I don't think that is a good idea. People are judging the sales of the VITA prematurely as expected. It sold almost half a million units already and that was about the about they shipped.I think delaying it is too drastic a measure. People act as if it sold only 5,000 units or something.
Anonymous are idiots like they proved during the hack when they brought down PSN and then said they didn't mean to hurt us too and gave Sony ultimatums and executed the threats before they could even respond.
It's like they talk first, take action then think later.They lost a lot of creditability during that whole fiasco and now they are doing it again. Why not say 'We will target all companies supporting the SOPA?' What, do they think Sony will be easy pick...
@ fatstarr a broken clock is right at least twice a day. The VITA may not outsell the 3DS but what does it matter? If Sony can sell 75 million like the PSP or even surpass that amount with the VITA what does it matter? You like many gamers seem to think that what happens with the 3DS always directly affects the VITA. If Sony can get the PSP fans on board that is already 75 million potential customers.
This should be good.
It goes both ways. If anything doesn't go the way a fanboys thinks it they make every excuse and cry every time you mention its failure and gloat and laugh when it goes your way. It happens all the time.
After Kinect games started to get low and average scores suddenly the Kinect gloating started to slowly subside until people barely even defend it anymore. People cried and reported you for trolling every time you pointed out the flaws in the 3DS claiming it will be okay...
That is BS. Sony's games do stand out. Are you kidding? That is the one of the main problems. People resist things that are not mainstream. If people would stop repeating the same crap over and over again and think they would realize that that there are many games on both the Wii and 360 that 'struggle'.
People believe that because they run out and buy every Halo and Mario game that means that they support their system more. But if you look at both systems you se...
@ Parapraxis. People believe that everyone in the world thinks like them. That is why everyone with a phone INSISTS that phones have great games. I for instance get bored of these so called 'great' games in about ten minutes at the most. If these game are so 'great' why is it most people I see playing them barely even play them for 30 minutes?
I can play Batman AC, GOW3, UC3, R4, Rayman Origins for hours without break. But phone games put me to sleep after ab...
