Sony: US Vita pre-orders indicate “very, very positive” sales

Sony Computer Entertainment America boss Jack Tretton told IGN last week that Sony’s data shows “very, very positive” sales ahead of the new handheld’s launch.

“Memory is going out the door very aggressively despite the fact that memory is in a lot of the presale bundles. The software appears to be selling quite well top to bottom,” he added, noting that Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the best-selling game so far.

Me Three! Mine is being delivered to my office. This is the first time Im excited to get up for work.

Snookies124538d ago

Ahhhh, that made me lol.

Titanz4539d ago

Consistency is key though, cause the core gaming demographic definitely preordered the Vita, or is buying the device at launch.

FriedGoat4539d ago

There's more core gaming demographic to go around!

mcstorm4539d ago

Im not too sure how LL it is selling in the UK as quite alot of places dropped the price and added a memory card and game to there bundles.
I can't wait to get hold of one though as there are some amazing looking games out for it.

ziggurcat4539d ago (Edited 4538d ago )

b-b-but i thought that the vita was DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED....

/sarcasm

p.s. ordered mine today from EB games/gamestop, i hope that i'm actually able to pick it up tomorrow (today, technically...).

edit: disagree when i was *clearly* being sarcastic? jesus christ people can't read...

Every system is doomed bro. These internet journalists and random bedroom bloggers need to wake up and accept there is someone interested in the system whether they like it or not. That one sceptic is nowhere near an indication of the rest of the world.

Does this mean that Palworld is getting an anime?

Abnor_Mal16d ago

Crazy that they’ve formed a partnership of sorts, but the game itself still haven’t been released on PlayStation

badz14916d ago

It's still in Early Access. If it ever goes gold, there will definitely be a PS5 version, might even be a PS4 version too

Abnor_Mal16d ago

I still have no clue what this game is all about, to be honest.

badz14916d ago

@Abnor_Mal

If games like ARK is not to your liking, then Palworld wouldn't be your cup of tea either...I think.

New Sony Controller May Let You Draw Your Own Buttons Using Conductive Ink

Sony has published a new patent about a controller that can be completely personalized by a user, including its shape and layout.

TFJWM30d ago

It is just a patent if it is new tech you file it

S2Killinit30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Dont get me wrong, I love that Sony does these research into new tech and all, after all it led to something as fun as the Dualsense, but im just asking why this particular tech would be useful in any way.

Profchaos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Interesting idea likely something that will never actually be produced but Sony's simply securing the paten

Profchaos30d ago

Common practice really so many companies pattern troll because they either intend to make a product or just want to hold onto the rights of the idea there's some insane ones out there especially at the dawn of the internet.

You can have no intent to use it but this is just saying you thought of it first

kylegeorge8830d ago

yeah no, the controllers need the hall effect before investing more time and money into quirks.

BlackDoomAx30d ago

But how will they sell as many controllers if they do that?

fsfsxii30d ago

Maybe consider your personal hygiene before blaming someone else for your controller defecting

DustMan30d ago

I doubt @FSFSXII even knows what hall effect is. What a turd.

y2mate30d ago

great idea, but will it fully distributed to other continent ?
