Anyway... Golden Weak! (I can't believe I'm the first one to say this).

Still, a few interesting things here and there. 3DS got a nice sizeable bump. Down on last year's GW, but the #number it has been boosted by compared to the week before is about the same. Interestingly, though, the week before GW last year was higher than the actual GW for 3DS this year.

Sony hardware across the board getting pretty non-existent bumps, which is a shame but I suppose I should've been expecting it. Everything down on GW last year in fact, except Vita which you know... was a wreck this time last year, so not surprising.

Wii-U is up to an actually-quite-pleasing number on Media Create though. I think it bodes well for the system. They already have those perennial titles for it that'll give it bumps in holidays like this; so when more come (and they are coming) it'll only spell better. Can't say the same for the rest of the world but in Japan, I think it'll be absolutely fine by this time next year.

Software is a whole other kettle of fish. Luigi impressing me most out of all the games up there, really. Wii's drum game & Dragon Ball also doing really well for themselves.

It's a shame PhotoKano is the sole representation for Vita on the charts now. I suppose it's not surprising either, but they still haven't found a leggy title to stay in the charts at times like this. I wonder what those 22k new Vita owners actually bought with their new console in terms of hard copies of games. Maybe they're all digital!

Oh, and the disparity between the two trackers is beginning to become a bit of a pain. Especially when they can hit it so close on things like PS3 and yet be so different on PSV, for the second week running.
