Sony-bossen Andrew House har kommenterat den numera riktigt hyggliga Nintendo 3DS-försäljningen, och menar att den kan gynna även försäljningen av kommande Playstation Vita.
"Normally we don't really reference the competition a lot when we talk about the PlayStation business, but in this case it's perhaps a little salutary that the sales of the 3DS - you know, having the advantage of releasing a little bit ahead of us - have been exceedingly good," berättar House för den amerikanska Playstation-bloggen.
"I think that shows that there is in general a lot of demand for a gaming primary portable device, which is how I would describe Vita.
Men självklart passar House på att berätta hur PS Vita är den bättre konsolen:
"Our device in contrast has just so much more to offer. What I think we've done is point to a market that really has started out with potentially casual games that are on other devices, but now wants a deeper, a better or more premiere gaming experiences."
Det har gått kämpigt för PS Vita i Japan. Men kanske kan Europa-releasen den 22 februari bättra på siffrorna?
