WTF at Vita

Come on people it's a good system

Tell that to SCEA and their marketing team.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Frankly, I would be ecstatic if I sold 10,000 products. That's a pretty big number, isn't it? Ten thousand. A thousand is a whole lot of things, and ten of those? Amazing.

Imagine a thousand people in a single room

now imagine ten times that

and they all bought your product?

wow

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

This is amazing. The vita should probably be bumped up one spot though.

Vita seems to accept it's mortality.

 

[QuantumZebra]

What about a FFXIII Trilogy Definitive Edition on PS4/Xbox One instead?

Yes please.

 

[Hercules]

neat

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Oh, and vita is officially dead. Very close to 4 digits.

If this console goes off the market (thus freezing localization of stuff) before Danganronpa gets a solid foot in the west, I will be so pissed.

 

[Aquamarine]

I thought Vita was already dead in the US

It's more dead than last month, though.

 

[antitrop]

game would have sold a lot better and established a fanbase on sony hardware for when the sequel comes out.

If what? If Microsoft didn't save the game from being cancelled? We've been over this already.

 

[Bunta]

I want to laugh, but

 

[brandonh83]

I can live with this.

Hell I got mine for those reasons plus the ability to play PSP and PS1 titles. When all is combined it's got quite a lot of content.

 

[Iacobellis]

I thought Vita was already dead in the US

Vita had a strong first year. That was it.

Makes me sad...

 

[TomShoe]

This is amazing. The vita should probably be bumped up one spot though.

Nah, I think Vita has accepted it's lot in life. The Wii U has some kick in it left, though. MK8 and Smash are still on the way.

 

[DukeBobby]

Is SmokeyDave okay?

Post if you're okay.

It's 4am in the UK.

Let him rest, for this will be the last good night's sleep he will ever have.

 

[John Harker]

Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

 

[Trevelyan9999]

Oh, and vita is officially dead. Very close to 4 digits.

Which one sold more in March, Wii or Vita?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I thought Vita was already dead in the US

Your Vita here is only mostly dead.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

It's had a bit of a rally in Japan, right? I think it's going to wind up in the same state of limbo the Wii U is in.

"Yes, indeed. The Darksign brands the Undead. And in this land, the Undead are corralled and led to the north, where they are locked away, to await the end of the world... This is your fate."

Yeah it seems to be hanging on by a thread in Japan. Who knows for how much longer. But it's done out here in the states.

Such a nice little system

 

[QuantumZebra]

Vita + PS4 bundle...$399.

I would literally buy another PS4 for a bundle at that price

 

[Sandfox]

Wii U is about as dead as I thought it would be.

Oh, and vita is officially dead. Very close to 4 digits.

Wow...

Which one sold more in March, Wii or Vita?

I would assume the Wii did.

 

[Aquamarine]

Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

Last year it sold 68K.

 

[GamerJM]

Ouch @ Wii U and Vita numbers. Such a shame too. Hopefully we'll at least see more niche games that are on those platforms on the more successful platforms in the future.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Tell that to SCEA and their marketing team.

I think Sony accidentally sold off the building with the marketing team still inside.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

The year of Cranky Kong in effect

all hail Steve Youngblood

 

[Nightengale]

Why? They made out like bandits in all this.

Pretty much. EA was the one true winner in all this. They basically cashed out at every instance possible, without needing to drop a cent more than their original estimates.

 

[RE_Player]

The reason why Vita sales are low is they are prepping the launch of the Borderlands 2 bundle. Original models are being phased out. It will bounce back.

Spoiler

Let a Vita lover dream.

 

[Fracas]

I wonder what's gonna become of the Vita. It's powerful enough to last several more years - does Sony just ride it out and leave the market later or do they dare make another handheld?

 

[Mrbob]

RIP Vita, for reals. Only thing that saves the system now is being a free pack in with PS4 purchase.

I wonder what's gonna become of the Vita. It's powerful enough to last several more years - does Sony just ride it out or do they dare make another handheld?

Don't know if Sony wants to pay shelf space for such a loss leader.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

Success!

 

[DaBoss]

Last year it sold 68K.

So it sold 68.1K this year.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

#dead

 

[javac]

Frankly, I would be ecstatic if I sold 10,000 products. That's a pretty big number, isn't it? Ten thousand. A thousand is a whole lot of things, and ten of those? Amazing.

I know! Imagine like 10,000 doughnuts! Unfathomable. I'd be at least half-full with that amount! Congrats Sony on the 10,000 doughnuts! Wait...what?

 

[Mass Effect]

Yep. Say RIP to Vita everybody.

Well... bright side is maybe we'll see a $100-$150 pricepoint soon? And then maybe I'll get one.

 

[vinnygambini]

Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

It lives.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Oh, and vita is officially dead. Very close to 4 digits.

The only honorable thing to do

 

[GamerJM]

If this console goes off the market (thus freezing localization of stuff) before Danganronpa gets a solid foot in the west, I will be so pissed.

DanganRonpa 2 I think is fine, NIS is localizing it as we speak and it comes out in September.

3 on the other hand.....

 

[udivision]

Wii U... Vita...

 

[prag16]

Not going to lie, that Wii + Wii U < 100K seems like a high upper bound, all things considered.

I was also thinking it doesn't sound THAT bad. I'm surprised so many people are acting surprised.

Something like 75k/20k doesn't seems reasonable, and not far off from expectations.

 

[Principate]

Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

Dat momentum

 

[BlackJace]

Chill. Wii u is up yoy.

(Chill... Or panic, but slightly less? Haha)

Iwata did it. Turnaround imminent.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

As a Vita owner, you should accept its death. Then you shall know true freedom.

 

[TomShoe]

I wonder what's gonna become of the Vita. It's powerful enough to last several more years - does Sony just ride it out or do they dare make another handheld?

Likely not happening. Those damn casuals and their Samsung Galaxies and Iphones. What happened to taste in gaming?

*smartphone rings*

Dammit!

 

[oconnomiyaki]

Oh, and vita is officially dead. Very close to 4 digits.

Is it the car culture or the price hurting the Vita? They were doing it here for NZ$250 with a 16GB and a bunch of Lego games and it flew off the shelves. It's a great little machine. I'd hate to have to stick to iOS and old Sega games.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I know! Imagine like 10,000 doughnuts! Unfathomable. I'd be at least half-full with that amount! Congrats Sony on the 10,000 doughnuts! Wait...what?

You're making me hungry.

Stop that

 

[EmCeeGramr]

A bunch of shareholders are looking very angry at Iwata but then he reveals that Wii U is slightly better than last year, and they all vote to give him another year or two to explore the reasons for this. Just imagine how high Wii U sales will be in March 2019.

 

[dallow_bg]

I'm honestly pretty grateful for every Vita title that makes it's way to NA at this point.
I'm surprised at how it holds on despite really poor HW sales.

All that complaining and people still bought the more expensive version.

All that complaining got the retail price to drop by $10.

Oh, and vita is officially dead. Very close to 4 digits.

Everybody waiting for the 2000 bundle.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Oh, and vita is officially dead. Very close to 4 digits.

but Vita means life.

 

[The Llama]

Dat Titanfall attach rate. As others have said, definitely seems like people had been buying the XB1 in anticipation of TF for a few months (which is what I'd been thinking anyway). Makes me wonder what XB1 sales woulda been like if TF hadn't been exclusive... o_o

 

[Barkley's Justice]

haha. that's funny someone turned that into a gif. i was considering it as well when i fired up that issue on the ipad...something about the timing and the reveal is hilarious.

 

[Lexxism]

I wonder if we will get a 3DS number.

 

[theprodigy]

Which one sold more in March, Wii or Vita?

last 2 months would imply Wii
