PS Vita has Moved 500,000

CES is happening right now, though it’s a touch too early in the show for any colossally important announcements. However, we are getting little tidbits of information as the show rolls along, one of which addresses the current situation of the PlayStation Vita. Turns out, it’s probably going to be okay (surprise!).

Sony chief Kaz Hirai took the stage at Sony Computer Entertainment’s media briefing yesterday and shared some of the more important Vita figures with the press. The Vita has moved over 500,000 units since its Japanese release on December 17 – lower than expectations but still a relatively strong showing from a brand new and unproven console. It’s worth noting that these numbers represent sold Vita units, not merely shipped ones.


Many in the gaming media have rushed to question the future of Vita due to its shrinking weekly sales, but the Vita still hasn’t been released on a global scale and some of the most high profile launch titles for the system are more appealing to western gamers than those in Japan. Depending on Sony’s strategy, the Vita could still have plenty of fight – remember, it wasn’t until the 3DS’s price drop that the handheld really started to move.


We’ll keep you posted as more details from CES leak out; in the meantime, what do you think will eventually happen with Vita? Can it topple Nintendo’s hold on the handheld market?

The Vita isn't really unproven though is it? It's essentially just a Psp on steroids so by that logic every console's unproven, now the NDS was a completely unproven idea so there was every reason to worry, but really in the West the Psp has been almost dead for years now and you can't just blame piracy because if people really want to play games on a hardcore gaming handheld people would still be buying games regardless, so honestly why would people jump off a sinking ship only to swim over to another one heading directly for an iceberg.

The PSP fits in my pocket. I don't have to "jump off it" in order to buy a Vita. And I have 2 pockets.

As mush as I hate to say it, the Ps vita will have trouble selling. But I think it is something that the people will catch on later in the future, when people will actually see it in action.

I haven't seen a advertising or promotion for it yet (beside on you tube).

Sony is retarded. You want to sell vitas there, release it with another financial fantasy or better yet. Release at lunch this little game, the record bewailing, money making. And console seller on the other side, monster hunter

Japanese plays:Monster Hunter
released:Unchar ted -____-
Western plays:Uncharted
released:not yet -____-

this is the reason why it failed to sell that successful yet,a good handheld need to have games that fits to the people's liking not all people preference are the same but just wait it will catch up.

TO ALL THOSE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE PS VITA IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GRAPHICS SIMILAR TO PS3

Just check out this video comparision:

TOMB RAIDER UNDERWORLD (PS3)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrMJfGUs9DA

VS.

UNCHARTED: GOLDEN ABYSS (PS VITA)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7nnRI60Gq0

And bring your own conclutions

by the way,
I didn't compare UNCHARTED GA TO UNCHARTED 3 ON PS3
because it would be unfair to compare a PS VITA launch title to a PS3
TOP-EDGE title.
But considering how PSP GOD OF WAR: ghost of sparta almost reached similar graphics to GOD OF WAR 2 ON PS2 (one of the top-edge PS2 titles) it give me hopes of what can be made on PS VITA in some future.

AH! and UNCHARTED is not just pretty graphics, its gameplay is ways better than TOMB RAIDER titles.
