How predictable, JL ignores talking about his figures.

Here are some cold hard figures for you JL.

12 months+ WiiU sold 150k in the UK

In less than 5 weeks the PS4 has sold 530k, and the Xbox One 364k.

Just let that sink in for a second

In the US, PS4 and XB1 will (have already) taken over WiiU for end of 2013.

Basically it's the million in Japan that is keeping WiiU ahead.

That's an interesting overview although it isn't a fair comparison between consoles, once WiiU is out for over 1 year while the other two have just started. Here is a fairer comparison: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=174878&page=1

Using the UK as a hallmark is just a way to highlight the wii u's performance at it's lowest.

Even if the wii u is losing in the UK to the xbone and PS4, in the far larger and more important European market it is holding it's own against a brand new xbox one which is easily available in that region. Based on vgcharts last sales chart the xbone is was only just ahead in Europe, regardless of the UK sales.

If this pattern continues wii u won't need the UK, but need to apeal more to the percentage of the other 440 million people in the EU that buy consoles.

I'd would rather push for good sales in Europe and poor sales in the UK as oppose to good sales in the UK and poor sales in Europe as is the case with XBone.

If Nintendo can achieve this they will at least be in a better place.
