The PlayStation Vita debuted to strong sales in mid-December. New devices usually do, and a falloff after that is likewise to be expected. But for the week ending Jan. 15—a month after its Japan release—the PS Vita had fallen to 18,361 units sold.
Not only is that far less than the 325,000 sold in its opening week, it's even less than the PSP is selling, according to the numbers published by Media Create. The PSP moved 22,538 units in the same week ending last Friday. The numbers do not include online sales figures.
Andriasang notes that Vita's slide looks like this, week to week: 324,859, to 72,479, to 42,648 to 42,915 and then to 18,361. It's way too early to call that a flop, certainly not with its North American and European debuts coming, but it could be that the PS Vita is running into some of the problems behind the 3DS' underwhelming release

Now, I'm starting to get worried about the PSV!

It'll start selling well when more AAA titles come out. I give it a month after it's released in the US and UK for sales to pick up.

Not exactly surprised, since it's only Japan.

You forget to mention that the sales of the Wii, DS LL and DSi combined are less than the Vita. NINTENDO MUST BE DOOMED DEPENDING ON THE 3DS AT THE MOMENT!

Unless you can go back in time and post all the Doom articles about how badly the 3DS was doing after it's launch stop trying to make the Vita look bad. You're not doing a great job of it anyway.

4 more days until Tales of  Innocence R (It's the 22nd in Japan).

This may change plus you have Ragnarok Odessey 6 days later.

The 3DS had it's share of doing badly. The Vita is now as well. What's wrong with posting this? It's factual anyway.

Give it some time. Look at how high 3DS sales are now.

Yes. I agree with this, an AAA game comes out, and showing some of Vita's features(3G!) it'll sell like hot cakes

So now you're questioning the numbers from your own source?

All Valwin does is troll the Vita. Ultimately it comes down to the credibility of the topic poster and Valwin lacks that credibility.

DS LL is the DSi XL in Japan, if I remember right.

[mjax]

It's in a way, bad for us consumers. I was hoping Sony to give tough competition to other companies and so they all really work hard to get best quality games for us. Hope it picks up well once it gets released in the west.

The Wii U is approaching very soon so the Wii isn't expected to get much sales, plus most people already have one, with the DSi and DSiXL, well can you really expect people to choose DSi over 3DS?
And why is everyone mean to Valwin?

i dont know what your problem but


DS DSI are selling less cuz the 3DS is out

Wii could be selling less cuz pretty much everyone haves one or they know the wiiu will be out this year

the point is PS vita Sony new handheld IN JAPAN is selling now less that their previous handheld the psp

this could change depending on some new vita games to be release in the next week


so stop been a fanboy
