Today Sony PlayStation Germany boss, Uwe Bassendowski has unveiled that the PlayStation Vita has reached 2.2 million units sold globally as of 30th June 2012. The figure was first reported by German gaming website PlayFront.de.
The Vita, which launched in February 2012 for $250, recorded sales of 1.8 million units in May. Q2 sales were 400,000 units. The more recent quarterly earnings report for April-June revealed combined sales of 1.4 million units for the PSP and the Vita together.
In India, the Vita is priced exorbitantly with the Wi-Fi model costing Rs. 19,990 and the WiFi + 3G model priced at Rs. 24,990. Despite the fact that the PSP sold almost 2.5 times more that the Vita, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida firmly stated that the device would not see a price drop anytime this year.
The Vita stands direct competition from Nintendo's 3DS, which sold 6.68 million units worldwide as recorded in September last year. This was a month after the handheld received a price cut from $250 to $170. Recently, the company launched the Nintendo 3DS XL in the US, a successor to their Nintendo 3DS.
