PS Vita is Japan’s most-desired console, says Famitsu poll
Japan is going ape for PS Vita, according to a reader’s survey carried out by Japanese gaming rag Famitsu. Make of the below results what you will.
1. PS Vita – 64%
2, 3DS – 48%
3. Wii U – 34%
4. PS3 – 25%
5. PC – 14%
6. Xbox 360 – 11%
7. Smartphone – 10%
8. PSP – 10%
9. Wii – 9%
10. iPad – 7%
11. DSi / DSiXL – 5%
12. iPhone – 5%
13. iPod Touch – 4%
14. Other – 2%
As this is a reader’s poll only, don’t take the results as any clear indication of fact for the whole of Japan. It’s a rather big country in terms of population density.
The results, sourced by CVG, suggest that PS Vita leads the poll because not that many users own one yet. More telling is the trailing suite of Apple devices at the bottom of the survey.
What do you think the results suggest? Let us know below.

@101, I disagree. I find the opposite true. If the hipsters were biting then its sales would be much better. Only a very small demographic of mostly core gamers would get a vita- namely those who are after a true gaming experience on the go but find iOS, Android & the 3DS lacking.

As long as I can get it for less than £200 I don’t mind. Few places have it on sale at the moment too.
“If you have an unlimited plan for your smart phone just wifi tether and you’ll get decent to good speeds to use the other online features.”
This is exactly what I’m planning on doing^^

Always amazed me how demented nerds call anyone buying popular hardware hipsters.
Classic stuff there.
You need to correct the spelling of your username, #103.

I take it you don’t even know what a hipster is, here, let me help you.
Hipster- Noun: A person who follows the latest trends and fashions.

I do know that, what I can’t figure is why you deprived hardcore toy warriors think many (or most people) buying trendy things are that.
Where’s the data which would validate that? There’s none.

What is it, that certain folks are more about commenting other commenters, than commenting on the matter?

“toy warriors” Bitch please, tell me how continually mocking someone for using a certain product is okay but when you’re called a hipster for iProducts, it’s a totally different story? Get off your high horse, buddy. Stop applying tags to a group of people, you couldn’t come off as a bigger bigot without shouting racist & sexist remarks.

I call ‘bitch’ a person who spends their New Year on vg247, sad patient.
The data validating my views is right on this website, and any ‘hardcore’ site. You need to spend an hour on Gamespot or Gametrailers to figure that out. (you’re a shining example).
Also, as I said before I’m not your buddy.
Stfu and run along correct the spelling.(it’s not like you have anything better to do, little person other than posting more straw men).
