I need to trust my gut feeling more lol, yeah 63k seemed abit off.

I don't think Sony has what it takes to turn PSV around, the financial hit they would take to salvage it (initiate partnerships to garner 3rd party support, marketing budget, $80 pricecut on Vita, lower the price of memory cards, redirect teams working on PS4 projects to Vita)... it's yeah

The price isn't the main problem, but more the lack of advertisement and must-have games. They're relying far too much on Assassin's Creed, a game that'll release the same day as the main game. I might be a bit premature with this, but I see no GTA, FF, MonHun or MGS and Sony have just recently said that they're having a hard time getting the third party developers on board. Yeah needless to say it's NOT looking good.

Sony will try to bring as many games on it as possible, but being that most of those games will be PS3/V multiplats it won't do much in the end. Gravity Rush isn't a system seller by miles and Soul Sacrifice is still at least a half year away. If only Sony could give us 3-4 more new IPs like that and give us a new, exclusive, FF, MGS, GTA it + actually make advertisements for it I'm sure it would be fine..

And yes the PS4 will ultimately "kill" the PSV along with everything else that is wrong with it. Sony themselves said that the announcement of the PS3 in the same year of the launch of the PSP was what hindering them in getting more third party developers. Considering this and their recent statement of the current situation of third party developers it's clear that they're in some deep s**t concerning the Vita.

And I'm just being positive here.

Sony have said they'll focus more on the Vita at GamesCom and TGS. Will it happen? I dunno, but we could ask ourself where that two times promised Game Heaven is.

My most anticipated game this year is Battle Royale (lol), so concerning games I'm covered, but I'm seriously doubting that the Vita is future proof.

Did anyone honestly think the Vita was going to be a success? I called it as soon as it was announced. Sony is so awful at advertising and selling the crazy things they release.

360 sells mostly in the flyover states. Here in NYC nobody still messes with that last gen trash.

Pray_to_me

And what exactly are NYC residents buying from "next gen"? If you say the PS3 I'll LOL to oblivion.

I would normally take this time to remind cows that the Xbox 360 has destroyed the epic fail that is ps3 17 months in a row, but I'm going to make a different statement. The ps3 and 360 need price drops ASAP. Sales are going down the crapper. 6-7 years into this gen and we still have premium consoles that cost 250-300. They should all be 149 by now. The high price is bringing down the industry. todd2r
Agreed, we shouldsee $150 PS3s and Xbox 360s soon. $300? HAHAHAAHAH yeah, ok.

Totally this. A $100 price drop could do wonders for the sales of these rapidly aging machines.

wow i cant believe my eyes ds and 3ds mopping the floor with the vita ds is far from doomed in this corner lol

outselling xbox360 if we combined the two , plus wii what ever those numbers are nintendo is number one as usual ,

and i cant believe people who want nintendo to kill ds off

that ds is not hurting them its helping them think about this ,, ,

ds could be used for cheap in expensive games and some big ones,

3ds can have all the heavy hitters , as well as some in expensive ones

and lol if this continues it doesn't look good on paper for sony!

3ds sales -155 ds sales 155k , what is vitas again 64 k , l ol again ds and 3ds out sold vita by 2 to 1 !

a sign of bad things to come , and japan is worst for vita the 3ds is outselling it by 10 to 1 one time i remember it outselling it 100 to 1 lol

Theatrhythm did 6 times what Rhythm Thief did, and did twice what Heroes of Ruin did. Since no individual SKU did more than 88k, we can deduce that Rhythm Thief and Heroes of Ruin bombed.

-I miss the way NPD days used to be where they just released all the numbers and the software top 10 showed which system sold what -The Wii may have some crappy sales but that is to be expected with a new console around the corner. The sales will pick up with the WiiU -The 360 did fine. The sales were not great nor were they bad. 203k is nothing small and it was the best selling console. The y2y decline has to have Microsoft ready to announce the nextbox next year. -Sony really not much else to say other then :lol:

So Vita is sub 50k, Wii is dead, PS3 is at least outselling 3DS, which itself needs to pick up (Nintendo needs to kill the DS off PRONTO). What a depressing NPD.

Superior versions of third party games? - Particularly true. But PC versions are the top.

Better controller? - Not true. It's horrible.

sts106mat

obviously they do. even with free online, the ps3 cannot compete.

most multiplats are superior on 360, the controller is much better suited to the majority of games, the online service is better (even though its at a premium).

It's true that the 360 is the strongest when it comes to multiplats. That's it. Nothing else.

Xbox Live fees completely takes away a good reason to purchase the console, nobody wants to pay for a service that is free else where and is as good. Xbox Live is not better than other services. They're the same.

Better controller? Hell no. It's probably the worst controller to ever exist.

What do you mean thats it? Multiplats take up the majority fo every consoles library, and the fact that the 360 excells in that area proves it has the superior library to the PS3. Thats a pretty good reason to own a console if you ask me.

Xbox Live isn't available elsewhere for free. PSN is free, but its dogshlt in comparison. If you're happy with your third world online, then fine. I prefer to use a service thats unified, allows me to communicate with my friends in ways other services lack, and a service that isn't taken down basically every fuking thiursday for maintenance.

And its a fact that the 360 controller is better ergonomically. The dualshock is outdated in design, its pathetic fanboys will defend something so lazy.

Well obviously most people think the PS3 is the worst system hence the PS3 being in last place since 2006 when it launched. Also why lie about the games things when you even know the PS3 has the least amount of games of all systems.

Please MS is on a distant second from first place almost tied with the PS3..lol.. Got to love fan boys who actually think that 67 million is actually worth bragging over 64 million,i guess that after been with the same game for 3 years now in recycle mod had really affect some people judgement,but then i remember is you.. The PS3 is doing 100 times better in US than MS is doing in Japan,were the past few weeks even the PS2 out sold the 360.. 70K advantage is nothing when in Japan that get neutralize because the 360 sell 4K a month and the PS3 like 80K,further more in EU the PS3 is also stronger,i guess that explain why from a 10 million head start and with a huge fail rate that has make many people re buy a 360,they are 2+ millions ahead.
