PlayStation Vita Sells 1.2 Million Units in Two Months

Over 2 Million games have been sold as well.

G4 is reporting that Sony has sold 1.2 million units worldwide since its first launch in Japan two months ago and its recent launch in North America last week. Given the system's struggle in Japan, this comes as good news for Sony.

In addition to the 1.2 million units sold, 2 million games have been sold at retail and on PSN, though the performance of each individual title is still unknown. SCE president and group CEO Andrew House released this statement in regards to the Vita's success:

"The market has responded and there is clear demand for a mobile device capable of providing a revolutionary combination of rich gaming and social connectivity within a real world context. To sustain momentum, we're working closely with 3rd party developers and publishers to ensure the best games and franchises possible will be available on PS Vita, and our software line up for the remainder of 2012 will have something for everyone across the globe."

I went into Gamestop last night and played around with their display Vita and I thought it was badass. I definitely don't have the money for it, but if I did I'd snatch one up. I really thought the screen was beautiful, touchscreen was crisp, and my favorite part to mess with were the dual sticks. I'd be nervous to loose the games though. The guy in Gamestop and I were joking that anytime your game isn't either in the case or in the Vita its odds of survival are slim at best. If a Vita game is out in the elements for even a little bit you're rolling the dice because you could sneeze, or a slight breeze could wisk it off, and you'll have lost it in no time at all lol.

There are always foes for each gaming software. Cartridges could be dropped or stepped on, and you had to blow into them all the time. Discs have the natural foe of scratches and scuffs. The tiny little Vita games natural foe could include the damn jetstream or chinook winds lol.

Hot Story

In Memory of Michael Alvarado

When 1up started the process of shutting down, there was one person who seemed to lead to charge to congregate the community in a single place. After his first visit here, it wasn't long before a slew of new members arrived. The site came alive and the real story of PixlBit began - the one that involves all of you. The person I'm referring to is, of course, Michael Alvarado, otherwise known as Michael117.
