Vita needs a refresh with a large internal memory and micro SD cards. Vita has a memory price as a flaw. Technically Vita does not work outside the box, no one likes that.
the slim model has 1gb of internal space but it can't be added to a memory card if you buy one for it and 1gb is smaller than some indie titles now for it (hohokum is 1.4gb) and that's not including system data which has to be there.
16gb card here in Ireland is almost 35euros, just nuts.

Sony needs a patch to use internal space with external space (providing they give a larger internal space), its stupid that it can't be used. The PS Vita just has too much limitations, most consumer feels this way too. The PS4 doesn't have much proprietary crap that why its selling.
PS4 almost at 50% marketshare ( 49.8% ), so close I can smell it.
It probably already is VGChartz just isn't showing it yet since they are a over month behind with their numbers
Shame to see the Vita is not doing better.
Great numbers for PS4!
Once again PS4 is killing it and Wii U needs to hang up the towel
Wii U is gaining more and more momentum as gamers realise PS4 and XOne not being that much satisfying.
The Wii U lost market share this year compared to last year... (12.2% in 2014 and only 11.7% in 2015). The only console to gain market share is Xbox One. The PS4 is already doing really well so it doesn't need to gain market share, but the Wii U was already doing badly and it's just falling farther behind, sadly.
