Those numbers were different than I had heard but they seem solid
like you said, ten months is a long time for a console generation and I have no doubt the vita will find a foothold there
(I'm buying one for persona 4 golden)

The 3DS has sold 19 million worldwide, opposed to Vita's 2.2. It achieved that in 20 months, whereas the Vita reached 2.2 million in 10 and I really doubt the Vita will start selling like hotcakes anytime soon. The PSP isn't doing bad in Japan, but I still don't see why Sega wouldn't put out Super Monkey Ball on the 3DS. I guess it takes awhile to make a game and at the time it was somehow unclear that the Nintendo portable would sell better than the Sony portable.

I would buy a Vita in a heartbeat if they had a few more games I was interested in. Uncharted is ALMOST (but not quite) a system seller for me. LBP... pretty much if you've played one you've played em all. If there was a Kingdom Hearts for it... oh baby. Last time I checked you can't even play the PSP one on Vita so alas I will continue to wait.

Yeah, I don't get what they're waiting for, putting PSP games on Vita. That would help it sell a bit better, and could give it enough of a boost to keep some momentum going for it, right?
Third parties just make a lot of weird decisions. I still never got why they put Mega Man and X remakes exclusively on the PSP. Then again, Capcom doesn't generally make too much sense.

I hope we get downloadable DS games soon for the 3DS. I could see that coming with a remake-something with more storage or something? Maybe that's what they're waiting for? I want to buy and play old games from every system on my new consoles.

I've come to hate the beginning of the wild Pokemon encounter battle music in BW(2). So annoying!

Third parties just make a lot of weird decisions. I still never got why they put Mega Man and X remakes exclusively on the PSP. Then again, Capcom doesn't generally make too much sense. Well, there's already quite a library of PSP games you can play on the Vita. Even a bunch of PS1 games have been ported. My only guess as to why every game isn't available has to do with the publishers not seeing it being cost effective. I don't know what has to be done to get a PSP game working on the Vita, but I guess it's an involved process. Or at least costly.

I can see a lot of developers not thinking it's worth it to port their PSP game to the Vita, though.

Meta_Fish Do you have a Vita, Trenn? Yea. I can pretty much confirm what just about everyone says about it. It's an amazing portable gaming device, and in a lot of ways better than the 3DS... if it had a better library. One of my favorite features is that every retail Vita game that comes out is available on the PSN the same day. Now THAT is how you handle game releases in the modern age. The Eleventh AK It costs the same as what the 3DS did at launch. A bunch of us bought 3DSes at launch. WHADYA TRYIN TA SAY, XILO? scream He's trying to say I'm loaded.
