And also, the specs are of 2011-12 Android flagship. That itself is a turn off.
Buying a PS3 (used) would be much better.
Do you want him to carry a monitor and a PS3 everywhere he wants to go?
And arguing that console X has a bigger penis than console Y is hardly relevant. That has never determined console success and enjoyability. History has way too many examples.
How many times have you gone to a video game store or a video games section in an electronics store and seen people discuss the cell engine with employees of the store and how hardware of one console is better?

Last time i heard, worldwide sales were around 3.5 million this year only. In a span of 2 -3 months , its more than 5 million ( 5.36 mil). Now doesn't that mean its picking up sales?
Japan is indeed responsible for sales w.r.t that title ( Toukiden). I never said its selling like hot cakes or demolishing the competition, but its certainly and definitely picking up.
VGChartz does not cite their sources, so I can hardly call their data reliable. Also, their wiki is not even up to date with the latest chart numbers for 2012 for some of the sources they take numbers from across multiple regions. If you have a source for that 5.36mil number I would like to see it.
But you missed my point: Toukiden caused a spike for one week and then the sales fell down again for PS Vita. How is that picking up sales if it is a burst and then a fall? From ~31k down to ~22k.
According to May NPD Sales Data, the Vita has been selling less than 30k every month in the US and we know that it has not been outdoing the 3DS in Japan, so according to the VGChartz data, in Q1 2013 the Vita must have sold like hell in Europe, otherwise it is not possible to add ~2million units in such a short span of time.
Feel free to post reliable data that counteracts this, otherwise those numbers are hard to believe.
