Sony created a lot of hype prIor to the release of PS VIta makIng It popular In a short perIod of tIme especIally In Japan. Its sales projectIon reached up to 321,000 unIts sold In the fIrst week Japanese campaIgn and It wasn’t really bad at all consIderIng It’s next to 3DS when sales fIgure Is concerned.
3DS actually sold 371,000 unIts In the same tIme span and In the same scope of area. It wasn’t really that far for gamers to thInk that PS VIta could be the next popular thIng all over the world when It comes to handheld gamIng devIces.
However, It seems that Sony’s latest entry to gamIng Industry has dropped dramatIcally In the second week sellIng only 72,479 unIts. It’s predecessor’s, the PlayStatIon Portable (PSP), performance Is even better consIderIng It was In Its prImItIve form unlIke VIta whIch Is way too better when technology Is concerned.
VIta Is wIthout a doubt a very popular gamIng devIce especIally In Japan but how could 3DS, WII, PSP and PS3 beat It? Analysts say It Is because It lacks compellIng software or games. In fact, the hardware-software ratIo durIng the launch was 1:1, meanIng for each PS VIta sold, only one game Is bought to go wIth It. And It could be because major and more popular tItles are stIll not avaIlable for thIs devIce.
UnlIke 3DS, PS VIta games haven’t made It to Top 20 chart for games. It means that Its software Is performIng really bad compared wIth other the ones desIgned for other platform.
Apparently, PS VIta Is not doIng so well In Japan. Sony, however, stIll got a chance to excel when It launches the devIce In North AmerIca and Europe In February 2012, although there Is no guarantee It would beat other gamIng devIces In the U.S.
Europe Is actually Sony’s last hope consIderIng the brand Is among the most preferred names when It comes to electronIc devIces.
But wIll PS VIta perform what Is expected of It?
