Major price drop plus relaunch coming. I can sense it. That's what this E3 will be about for them.

I also remember Sony saying they planned on selling 150 million PS3s by the end of its lifespan (this was back in 2007/2008, when PS3 was still "failing".

I understand being cautionsly optimistic but cot damn.

Since their E3 doesn't seem to be about the PS4, I think you're right. The Vita is an embarrasing failure for them right now; as a major player in the video game industry, they simply cannot let this situation persist and have to make decisive moves soon.

I haven't paid attention since before 2009, but after 2009 they usually hit their target with PS3 sales, so if they think they can hit 10 mil they must be pretty confident something will push it that high, price drop i guess.

If they do a price drop they damn well better compensate for it as Nintendo did. It's weird how the 3DS could do with a redesign yet the Vita is the console that truly needs it. Remove the cameras, get rid of the 3G models, replace the back panel with two buttons. Cut away the nonsense and keep it as a gaming handheld as it's supposed to be.

They drop the price to $100 and make some original games for it, including JRPGs and some action adventure games not ports and we might see it reach 10 million this year...........

Either they're overconfident or something big is about to be announced(like price drops or whatever). Either way it would be cool if the Vita got a price drop. Though it doesn't really have enough games that interest me atm and then there are those overpriced memory sticks...

Same boat as me. Im hoping some new titles are unvieled at TGS. The first TGS following the DS and PSP release got me to buy both.

Even if they dropped the prices, that kind of sales projection is delusional.

Since they're 8+ million units away from their goal they must have something up their sleeve and LBP/KZ won't sell them that many consoles. Price drop might be it + white color + some awesome games perhaps? They could also go with regular price, but bundle the console with a memory card, although I believe they'll sell more with a price drop.

He's talking about the next FY. 1.8m + 3m = 4.8m. Sony thinks it will do 11.8m

I personally think it will do 5-6 million to total around 7-8 million .

how much did ninty sales increase after their price cut? we could do a proportion. even then its still pretty laugh able as even if there was a 100% increase in 3DS sales then the vita would only be sitting at like 30000 a month intead of 15000 a month lol

A lot of those sales were from early adopters who would have bought the system no matter what. Other sales won't come nearly as easy.

At the rate its selling now, it'll probably sell like 5 million this year. Sony either has a solid line up of games to announce at E3/TGS and/or a price cut. I doubt they'll reach 10 but I could 8 million.

I smell a price cut/great line up of games on the way. Either way they're being a little unrealistic.

It's selling around 60k units a week ATM and still dropping, even if it stays at 60k a week for the rest of the year it'll only sell around 3.5 million units in total this year.

Even with a base price of $199 WITH a memory card and game, there is no way I see that happening. Sony is in denial.

I really don't see this happening unless there's a decent price drop and Sony has an impressive showing at E3. If that were to be the case, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

It will sell more in the holiday season. The 3DS sold 8 million this holiday season so even if Vita sells 1/3 of that, and you add 3.5 million from the other quarters then you'll get around 5.5 million.

so when they sell 1/3 or that or 1/2 it can be called an actual failure on SW without the need to back up that claim? I would say 4-6 million if they do something special. Unless they really think LBP Vita and Killzone Vita are gonna push units. A price drop would make them bleed even more money but at this point what's a little more blood?

This. Killzone has a hard enough time pushing its own units.
