PS Vita Stumbles into the 2.2 Million Sales Milestone

As confirmed, June 30th was the real day in which those sales numbers came to fruition, but it was not until today that such data became public knowledge. Launching in February at a steep $250 price tag, it certainly has been a long and tumultuous ride for Sony's handheld. With developers still in constant question of how this new device will fare, Gamescom did give us just a little bit of hope that some great new titles would be on the way.

Regardless, many of those games have yet to be released; and with the 3DS reaching that milestone almost five times faster than Sony, maybe there is still a little bit of cause for worry when it comes to the system. To make things even more difficult, Sony has also admitted that no price cuts will be  on the way for their machine, which hasn't given gamers much of a reason to pick this console up. With LittleBigPlanet and Call of Duty on the horizon, only time will tell if the Vita is in fact a blunder in PlayStation history.

 

The number don't lie though. Are you one of the 2.2 million, or have you yet to buy into this piece of tech?

Love my Vita, well worth the $250 price tag. If you don't like yours, you can go the Craigslist route and sell it lol :P Oh and Killzone will be killer once it comes out, a TRUE Sony experience that can't be matched .

My hacked PSP got stolen in 2009 and I never got another because I was getting more involved in my PS3 games. I got the Vita but gave my PSP games away to a friend when I learned I couldn't play the PSP disk in my Vita. But I have been buying PSP games to catch up to what I have missed. Got 6 Vita games since I got it in June so until something killer comes out, its PSP games and PS1 games after the 1.80 update :)

It really is an awesome piece of hardware and what little games they have right now is mostly stellar. They just need to get more games going and keep working on that firmware.

I love my Vita and their sales, as I think, is better than the 3ds around this time. Do remember the reason why they drastically cut the price for the 3ds. For the almost same amount of time that the 3ds sold 1M units, Sony sold 2M units (no price cuts).

Nintendo is now at 19M generally because of the drastic price cut and backwards compatibility.

So I understand why they are not gonna cut their prices for the year.

Do enlighten me if I am mistaken.

Thank you and God Bless XD

the vita is an awesome machine, of that i have no doubt, just a little slow on the games, and not allow multiple psn accounts sucks but a vita is well worth the money

but at this point, i'd still say 3DS is a better investment, at least for now

My fiancée got me a Vita for my b-day and I love it (love her more, of course ;-) but I'm waiting for more games to come. I can wait awhile tho because I'll be glued to Borderlands 2 (PC) when it releases. My friends says I should get a 3DS but I heard the battery is crap
