Really? You're calling someone a bitch because they have a different opinion? You don't have to agree with everyone or not call out dumb things that are said but you don't have to go name calling.

Peaked how? Pokemon and Monster Hunter are still to be released. 3DS might well be reach 20 million units in Japan alone.
Wha?! There's a Smash Bros. 4, a Zelda or two and maybe a Metroid, as well as an inevitable redesign of the original model. As well as Tomodachi, Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Mario & Luigi RPG, Donkey Kong, Atlus games, Animal Crossing clones etc etc.
"Looks like a big shipment with good sell-through. Lifetime sales of half million is pretty much guaranteed."

One piece uses one engine, one time investment for both ps3 and vita. They cant be seen as two loose games. 2 games for 1 budget...
Ha! I actually did! Unless the new CEO changes direction completely, the 3DS is inevitable.Don't forget Dragon Quest XI
If you call this post http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=51731178&postcount=571 an opinion then i am 200% sure you dont know what the term opinion means.
It's an opinion. I am concerned YOU don't know what an opinion is at this point. Sure you may disagree with it and the way it's worded could spark a reaction but that doesn't stop it being an opinion. Don't tell me you've never stated an opinion such as "Barbie horse adventure is the best game ever" without putting "IMO" at the end. Just because Laguna neglects to do that doesn't mean it's not an opinion.

I think he meant weekly, ~70k is quite a good number.
Just a friendly suggestion- probably not wise to call posters bitches, especially when you are a junior. Just a tip!
I expect some 3rd parties might consider it that way too.
Not sure to be honest but it seems this time could be a likely answer unless Nintendo finally make it 3d. They already had the Pikachu 3DS too right?
All games the current userbase will love give or take a couple thousand.
Pokemon X/Y is 3D, has a trailer and will be released worldwide this fall. I'm surprised you missed that.
Also while I really hope that the Vita does see some semblance of increased support from Japanese 3rd parties through this boost the 3DS XL vs Vita comparison isn't a particularly logical one. The total number of units able to play 3DS games being sold is still, and likely will stay high above the Vita number. Not to mention the only reason the LL is selling like that is BECAUSE of the OG 3DS. If the OG 3DS didn't exists the LL would certainly be selling a good deal more (though likely a bit less than the combined 3DS total atm.)
It was an opinion based on Famitsu data (the post after the one you quoted compares the actual data).

Seriously, what's the logic?

What? Everyone has gone off the deep end in here. Soul Sacrifice vs Kid Icarus, Japan hates Zelda, people taking anihawk seriously

Um...
And the only way Vita starts consistently outselling 3DS is if Vita finds its Monster Hunter replacement or 3DS is on its way out.
Okay, not bad.
Vita really needs GoW and Infamous at the very least.
Target audience? Perhaps less so in Japan, but probably not by that much.
Media Create Threads are serious business man.
Fixed
I'm not sure I understand you? Unless you're implying there are no serious system sellers left to be released on the 3DS?

Pokémon and Monster Hunter will sell millions of units in Japan. God of War and Infamous would sell less than 100k units. Anyway, 3DS didn't peak at all.
I don't understand either.
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why would you make a game for 3DS owners, but only consider/count the 3DS XL userbase?
^ Depends on what kind of game the third parties are making. 3DS is more of a toy than the 3DS XL and developers of certain mature/dudebro games will probably consider that.
They would be system sellers but it seems quite a lot already bought it for Monster Hunter etc anyway.

You are right, everyone had a PSP when MHP3 came out.

Ok, after reading the full chain of quotes, you are really making no sense. lol
This thread is getting crazy, what happened here?!

Just when i thought that phase was over.
Yes, but there's a brand new Monster Hunter, a brand new Pokemon and likely a brand new Dragon Quest. I can't see how the system has peaked. Even if you take the hypothetical Dragon Quest out of the equation.
Isn't this thread crazy at first place? :lol
Well when did the news that Monster Hunter was coming to 3DS come out? Seems like a long time ago, Nintendo seems to have things announced real early these days.
I can imagine Pokemon helping out like it usually does too, especially since it's 3D but I think a lot of people should scale back expectations generally.

Yeah. Vita and 3DS LL cater to the older crowd with more spending money, late teens to 30s. 3DS caters more to the younger crowd (kids and younger teens), as does the PSP (though to a lesser degree). So I see the PSP and 3DS competing for one demographic (and the 3DS winning out consistently), and the 3DS LL and Vita competing for the other (very tight race these days). I also think this is a reason why Sony is not too keen to kill off the PSP just yet -- they'd have to introduce a slim Vita priced 15,000 yen to compete with the lost PSP buyers. Obviously this is not black in white, I'm just talking about general trends.
Some anecdotal evidence: I've seen dozens upon dozens of children in Japan playing a 3DS in public, in many different cities. I've yet to see one playing a 3DS LL.

I think we mostly have pretty reasonable expectations for a pokemon game.
Give me a break, most ironic thing ive read this week

I assume you're not talking about Japan at this point, so:
After how RE:R, U:GA, R:BS, ACIII:L, and COD:BO
sold last year, I honestly have a hard time fathoming how people can come to the conclusion that what Vita needs in the west is more spinoffs of dudebro console franchises.Maybe if (when) Killzone bombs, people will finally accept that the demographic that made Liberty City Stories and Chains of Olympus huge hits on PSP is never, ever coming back to dedicated handhelds, not in anything resembling those numbers.
Why is Pokemon immune to the economy, the DS widespread ownership and iOS? It will do great, but without another price drop I can see it moving at a lot less systems than people expect.

Are you talking japan or worldwide? Worldwide i can buy that argument maybe, but if you truly think it will really think it will suffer in japan you are crazy

Many, many, many Pokemon fans have not bought the 3DS yet, and X and Y will force them too. Do not underestimate the power of Pokemon.
Thousands of people are willing to stand in the cold waiting in lines wrapped around street corners for hours for a Pikachu themed 3DS.
I think a simultaneously global launching, fully 3D new Pokemon game will see monster numbers.

I dont think skyzard is a real person anymore.
Personally, I think X and Y will be the best selling Pokemon game since Gold/Silver.
