Vita is definitely under performing but a millions sales is still an achievement. However, Sony takes the hit or profit from h/w, I'm more concerned about software sales.
3DS was still selling boatloads more than Vita is now..And many were calling 3DS a flop...
Anyway, price drop helped but software is what caused sustaining sales..in Japan of course. Elsewhere 3DS hasn't caught on like its predecessor.
Vita is a flop. Lets call a spade a spade here. If you are excited about the Vita and its software offerings, good for you, but this is a handheld in more trouble than the gamegear or Atari lynx.
It's not a matter of numbers, but the product. The PSVita is like no other gaming handheld out on this planet. That's what made me preorder this beast in the first place.
But the combination of a crappy marketing team at Sony, and then the public so blind to realize how the great the PSVita is affects the numbers, obviously.
The product is perfect, you gotta give Sony credit for that.
its great news and sad news at the same time. 1 mil is an achievement, but the time it has taken is just terible. maybe when the next batch of games to be released will boost the sales.
Great news for the Vita
Nintendo 3DS took just 13 weeks
Ps vita took 42 weeks..
I am just saying ok?
Dreamcast sold 1m faster than Vita did.
its a great device (best hand held out there) and i wish it the best. waiting for assassins creed liberation to come soon.

That price drop did wonders for the 3ds.
