Dang. I wish the PS Vita was selling better than it is right now. It is a great handheld system imo.
Agreed, it's not doing too badly in JP and EU but is more or less dead in US. Still doing better than Wii-U weekly.... but yeah it's a handheld that should have been pushed a lot more by Sony to let people know just how great the thing is. I think it's my primary gaming device now for the past maybe 6months to a year.
As weak as it looked alongside the DS last generation, it has to be remembered that the PSP sold numbers close to the Xbox360 and PS3 last generation ending up with over 80million units sold.
Yep, it was actually pretty successful. It's a shame the Vita failed that hard. Competition sometines is good.
