Why is the PSP outselling the Vita?

A lot of games are still currently being developed and released for the PSP in the land of the rising sun.

360 coming in strong with 954 consoles sold! / Obvious sarcasm

Media create saw a VERY miniscule drop in vita sales, not a 2% rise.
The psp sales are also higher with vgc than media create, and the 3ds, wii, ps3 and 360 sales are lower in vgc than MC. (360 by a respectively wide margin.)
But I do suppose this is within the margin of error.

Xbox 360 - 954? Wow I admit that I don't get why the 360 is still selling so good in the US compared to the ps3 but I don't get why it's selling so bad in japan either. patriotism? Europe seems to have the most open minded people cause you won't see such extreme numbers here.

It's hard to figure it out sometimes. In Japan, the PC Engine (TurboGrafx 16) was HUGE - even outselling the mighty NES. Yet, it was a dud in the U.S.

Conversely, the Sega Genesis was huge in the U.S., while it barely made any waves in Japan. Sega actually licensed some of their top games to NEC to put on the PC Engine because the Genesis (Mega drive in Japan) was so unpopular there.

It doesn't always make sense.
