Since the launch of the PlayStation Vita on December 17 in Japan, the system has sold 321,407 units in just its first two days of being on sale, according to Famitsu. In contrast the Nintendo 3DS sold over 400,000 units in its first two days of being on sale.
Hmm… Not sure if this is good news…
Oh, and the Vita was released in LATE HOLIDAYS while the 3DS was released months after and with 8 less than decent games.
Sorry, this is pretty bad news.
Probably because Sony does a terrible job at marketing. They make great products, but I almost never see an ad, I doubt most of the mainstream public even knew about the vita. When the 3DS was going to be released, there were commercials everywhere, but not a single for the vita.
^Agreed 100%
in order to sell this thing in Japan they need Monster hunter 4..
In the west Call of duty should do the trick..
so true
While I do agree about Monster Hunter I don’t think CoD would sell well at all as the western gamers prefer FPS on home consoles/computers over anything else. Casual games on the other hand sell like crazy on handhelds, especially in Europe were the Vita probably will have its largest userbase.

“The Nintendo 3DS managed to move 371,326 units to during its first two days whilst the PlayStation Vita only sold 321, 407 units.”
I like how you just change the numbers. (:
You should decide to use the same numbers on both of your news-pages, else it’s kind of deceptive and confusing.
I think its a different guy running this vita blog. im not sure but i think it isnt sickr.
This was post by Robert (88central) my posts are under the name Sickr. I’ve edited the post to give the full number :)
To sickr (somehow I can’t reply to you directly..) :
Oh, sorry then. But I still think that the same numbers should be used on both sites. Plus, if you did use the exact numbers on mynintendonews then the numbers on this page are obviously wrong. I mean, 371,326 is not “over 400,000″ I guess.
in the immortal words of Mr.Omar (From everybody hates chris)
Tragic.. smh.. Traggiic.
What’s that Sony fanboys? I thought you said it would sell better…Lol! Prepare for another DS vs PSP era xD!Lololol
wow, a difference of 70,000 units is nothing. The original PSP only sold 60,000 on day one, your point is?
And this affects you how? if you dont own nintendo or sony your yearly “revenue” is still the same, this only proves that if given the chance you would suck a dick just to show how much you love a company over the other.
Beome a play station vita ambassdor before its to late :D
