They have sold over a million more systems than microsoft. Demand is far outpacing supply.

So, so far 10 million to maybe million seller right now.... wooo.....
I don't want to blow your mind, but its been out 2 months. I realize you have a narrative you want to stick to, but it doesn't reflect reality. It's been sold out almost everywhere since launch.
Yeah. I love the Vita, but I'd love to have some of the sorts of games we got on PSP, like GTA and God of War. Getting Most Wanted was nice, I have to say, but I think God of War: Ascension would have made a nice Vita game.
It was awesome, but it wasn't popular.
Go on ebay and search for how much those DOA cameras are going for right now.
Didn't know that.
Yea, I know but I can still hope....
does he have access to inside info? If not, well, there's really not much evidence here
It will end up with a better LTD in all territories than the Vita by magnitudes at this rate.

Still sold 80 million, the Vita would be lucky to even sell an 8th of that.

Hypothetical brainfarting.
It doesn't have to be WiiU or 3DS, but maybe their successors. I'd like to see Nintendo try selling an optional console/portable bundle as Sony hinted with PS4/Vita and actually compliment each other functionally [while remaining independent systems].
The PSP was close to 20 million in the US, I believe.

It was magnitudes more popular than the Vita. The PSP's software sales early in its life aren't far off from the 3DS'.
Gotcha. You have to admit, though, that that's not exactly a compelling reason to have one around.

I was hoping to get one cheap so my nephew could play the playroom game, until I saw the price they were going for.
The most profitable item of the holiday season wasn't the xb1, ps4 or any other system... it was that damn camera.

It was popular.............for people who downloaded illegal software. Piracy was out of control on the PSP. Almost everyone I knew who had it was pirating shit, it was disgusting.

Best of a bad situation. Bought it thinking it was a gaming system.

It is Mortimer, dude.
A more down to earth idea would be redesign the Gamepad, make the screen smaller.
For me the GT6 sales are even more shocking than the Vita's. This must be extremely worrying for Sony seeing as how the GT franchise has always sold massively and guaranteed huge profits for them. GT5 must have left a sour taste in many mouths.

Doing so also likely makes it more of a game to digitally download. Undershipping certain games to push DD is going to happen more frequently.

I'd not entirely agree with this. The PSP was put in the market and had immediate confidence which did cause quite a bit of strong support for it, but the Vita has still managed a pretty nice lineup (especially considering the DL stuff). Still, I imagine in the end the PSP will have a good deal higher quality retail library simply because the Vita is already sort of dead in terms of general support..

Knack did way better than I would have expected.
I wonder if Knack has outsold GT6 here in the US so far.

You can check his post history, and he has some info. But it makes sense, Vita has to hit 6M one of this months, 2.5M are in Japan, and we know that USA is not setting the charts on fire with Vita.We have the percentage charts from Nintendo with no numbers. That's the problem with EU, we do not have a media blow out as with NPD.
Quite the power gap between CoD and BF4. Killzone did pretty well considering how average it is. Not surprised at Knack's mediocre result though. Didn't sync up well with the typical US early adopter and reviewed poorly.

Woah#Vita sales.
I thought PS4 hype was having a small positive effect in other parts of the world, so at least it would perform decently in the US.
That number is abysmal. PS4/XBOne launches have left people with no money for dead systems, it seems. Let's hope it picks up a little in 2014, because anyone developing a Vita game must be on suicide watch right now.
Other than that, PS4 seems to be supply constrained worldwide while MS is focusing all their efforts in the US/UK combo.
Wii U doing Gamecube numbers, but overall weak considering Christmas sales are always a strong point for Nintendo systems. 3DS doing great as expected.

Pretty much this. The Wii a free for all also.
What ?
$20 says it will. Unless they kill it off before 2016.

I can't believe how enthusiastic GAF is about Vita compared to the general public. It's mind-boggling.

WiiU is in a similar way in Europe. It's not exactly doing well anywhere, but it's doing exceptionally bad in Europe. Bad enough to question how long it will have a shelf life there.
Two platforms performing this badly, while the prior market leader in the handheld market is seeing a drastic contraction of that market makes me queasy. Market crash is real people! And it's coming from the casuals! Batten down the hatches!
Casuals are a fleeing! They who make up 80% of a console sales are being zapped away! Some mysterious enigmatic force!
I just peed...

Great to see the XB1 sell so well. It really is an amazing console.

Killzone did great.... Knack too.
It is literally sold out everywhere, both online and in b&m locations, it's crazy.

yeah but didn't he say elsewhere that Vita was at 2 million in the US, while we know from NPD it's not even close to that?
so its probably shipments, which isn't that useful
.....now hold on a minute.....
I bought the PSP at launch and got like 5 good years out of it. Almost double what I'll be getting out of my Vita.
It is what it is, I made a mistake.
We still don't know about that. 3DS is still ahead of PSP worldwide numbers. I could probably agree if it did overtake 3DS in a few years but for now, no.

Great killzone results, it did well compared to CoD and BF.

MS's numbers bringing the fanboy salt and tears. Good stuff.
And lol at Greenberg trolling and messing it up with the third party numbers.
