Awkward the only increase was the Wii
??

Patriots_Pride4282d ago

Its VCHartz - this numbers are based on guesstimates.

Some random dude pulls these numbers out of his arse.

Samus HD4281d ago

Stop it already... we are not living in the past you know\!

miyamoto4281d ago

yeah who ever approves of these crap from vgchartz...?

samson-14281d ago

xbox may just catch the wii sales in the U.S. Can't believe the vita isn't selling that well.

JBSleek4281d ago

It isn't hard to believe when the only competition to the Vita is $80 cheaper.

DivineAssault 4281d ago

That & the demographics are very different.. Vita is tailored for more teens & adults.. I cant see many parents buying a kid a vita so it gets destroyed & $300 down the toilet..

rpd1234281d ago

That and the fact that Sony has literally no ad campaign for the Vita. My friends had never even heard of it until I got one and showed it to them (one of them is getting a Vita now because of it). If they let people know it was out there, there'd be more interest.

Machioto4281d ago (Edited 4281d ago )

@rpd Where are you and friends living?mars,seriously though,I've seen commercial,i'm assuming you live in Europe if not then I don't how you have not seen one yet.

rpd1234281d ago

@Machioto

Nope I live in America. I've seen ads, but I have to actively seek them out. It's not like I'm watching TV and then there's a Vita commercial like there is for the 360 or PS3.

Hicken4281d ago

The Vita's competition is pretty much every other handheld; not just the 3DS, but the DS and PSP, as well.

And some crazy people want to put it in contention with smartphones and tablets, too.

The Vita's fighting against ignorance and misinformation more than against any competing product. And incorrect knowledge is a much harder adversary to defeat.

whats going on with the wii? its sold out online & the sales have a slight increase... I just sold one of mine yesterday.. Got a damn good deal on it too

MySwordIsHeavenly4281d ago

Nobody has ANY idea why the Wii is starting to sell again. Seriously. I can't find anyone who can explain it.

ZoyosJD4281d ago

Nintendo's master plan of not giving the WiiU a release date is working...JK...IDK, but it is a posibility.

yabhero4281d ago

FYI:
The 3DS overlap a lot in the 13-21 demographics... People think its just kids unde 10 who get a 3DS and people over 20 get a vita but in truth they are kinda selling to a lot of the same people

AWBrawler4281d ago

True I know people who always thought hanhelds weren't for them, adults mind you, but now they all own a 3DS and games like Resident Evil and DOA

Xperia_ion4281d ago

Sony is horrible at advertising, show some hot girls playing it, anything!!! WTF Sony : /

Siren304281d ago

Yeah its the lack of advertising instead of no games and $250 price tag and having to buy expensive memory cards seperate that is causing the vita to have poor sales

Xperia_ion4281d ago

Sarcasm is like a second language to me.

DarkHeroZX4280d ago

Well I disagree on the no games part. And you can get their memory cards far cheaper online. But advertising the vita is a most.

jznrpg8h ago

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS8h ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz5h ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins6h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia5h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
