Seeing some of your posts in other threads you are one of the Vita's biggest defender. But in this post you have admitted the Vita is a flop? And now your only question is which will flop more? | |
Oh my. People waited for the AC3 bundle. And how convenient it wasn't included in the NPD results. | |
Just going to run some math, here: According to the NPD... The PS Vita sold 35 thousand units in the United States during October 2012 This means that... -1 out of every 8,903 people purchased a PS Vita during the month of October. -The PS Vita sold an average of 1,129 units each day. -The PS Vita sold an average of 47 units each hour. -1 PS Vita was sold every 1 minute and 16.5 seconds. -Each state had approximately 700 PS Vitas sold in it during the month of October. -This equates to approximately 22.5 PS Vitas each day. -This, in turn, equates to 1 PS Vita sold in each state every 2 hours and 39.5 minutes. -If sales of the Vita are proportional to the population of states, the state that had the most PS Vitas sold in it was California, with 4,234 PS Vitas. -Likewise, the state with the least PS Vitas sold in it was Wyoming, with approximately 64 PS Vitas. -These 35,000 PS Vitas equates to somewhere between $8,750,000 (assuming all were Wi-fi model PS Vitas) and $10,500,000 (3G) spent on PS Vita units. -The earlier figure is 0.00005799% of the US's total GDP; the latter, 0.00006958%. -The earlier figure is approximately the quantity of money the United States Public Debt grows by in 3 minutes and 40.5 seconds; the latter, 4 minutes and 24.5 seconds. -The earlier figure equates to approximately 1,206,896 hours of minimum-wage pay; the latter, 1,448,275 hours. -According to the NPD, the video game industry declined by approximately 25% from September to October, based on total revenue generated. To compare, PS Vita sales dropped by approximately 30%. -The PS Vita's biggest competition, the 3DS, saw sales drop by 6%. -The PS Vita's predecessor, the PSP, saw sales remain virtually steady. -The only other system to remain virtually steady was the XBox 360. -The biggest sales drop suffered by any system was the Wii, which saw sales drop by approximately 50%. -The best-selling game available on the Vita was Madden NFL 13; however, this is based on all units sold across all 4 platforms it is currently available on. -Approximately 0.45% of Sony's projected 10 million combined PSP and PS Vita sales this year occurred during the month of October. Those are the numbers. Now, you can argue over what they mean. --- 3DS:4897-5935-1924; PS3 sold in anticipation of PS4. If you added CrimsonEnigma, I no longer use the account.

Goes to show you how nintendo fans are more of a blind consumers than others. Buying an outdated console for 350 with a piss poor HD that will eventually become obsolete when the ps4, next xbox comes out.. Hah | |

Sony should be proud of selling 35k. Do you guys realize how long it takes to process that many transactions? I worked in retail many years ago and just the thought of going threw 35k transactions is really scary. It would take me at least a year to go threw all of those transactions. Not the job for me fellas. Sony is probably kicking back with the feet held high. --- The Punish. | |
With both MvC3 and SFxTK bombing badly on the Vita, I'll be suprised if Capcom continues to support hte Vita. | |
