CoD still on top due to brainless dumbasses McDonald infused people.

VITA FAILS like everybody knew it would.

All expected, nothing surprising.

[QUOTE="bonesawisready5"][QUOTE="Eponique"] They're included. And FEBs were available in stores - at least it was in Canada.blue_hazy_basic
Any word on whether this NPD includes Wal-Mart? I'd guess Wally mart would give each console their own little boosts

Not to be picky or anything, NPD always included Walmart, now it has 100% accurate figures rather than precise estimates. :P

Then why did Wal-Mart and NPD agree to track Wal-Mart's data last month. See it right here I didn't think NPD included wal-mart, can you explain it to me again? Where they using estimates of wal-mart numbers, but now can get the real thing or did they never include wal-mart from the get go until now, which I can't tell if they included Wal-mart this month or not.

NPD estimated the data from retailers like Walmart, Amazon, etc...

The sales data includes Wal-mart, just not with 100% accuracy (they're estimated, close to 100% accuracy). But starting next month, it will include Wal-mart with 100% accuracy.

Well given the really weak start by PSVita, and the obvious fact that sales from now on are going to plummet just like they did in Japan, people who intend to purchase one some time soon should really wait for the now inevitable price drop.

Sony can't afford a price drop? Tough, they can even less afford the system to die.

The worst part is software sales are bad across the globe outside of a few big bursts here and there. Sony has no big system sellers for the product. Personally, I'm waiting for a price drop or the PS Vita 2000. We're going to see in 2013 an even bigger divide between iOS/3DS game announcements and PS Vita game announcements as the current state of the Vita's hardware/software sales can't bode well for future third party game development.

Yah, I'm pretty certain the PSP was much more successful, at launch, than the PS Vita.

Sad to ssee Asura's Wrath bomb :(

I love cinematic games. Would have bought it at launch if Tales of Graces F and Xenoblade wasn't coming out so soon. Looks like its going to the bargin bin soon for me to pick up later.
