I think you are BenV are forgetting one thing that will keep PS3360 sales from falling too much next year.....Grand Theft Auto V.

Grand Theft Auto IV incresae PS3 and 360 sales by 80% the week of release http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/39572/Global/
(Wii also had a 105% increase so there may be some other factors I'm missing here..)

Mario Kart Wii release in US.

Oh thanks I didn't notice since I was only looking at Global.

I can't believe I'm arguing it either, it seems so painfully obvious to me but a lot of people can't see it including yourself. Honest question. The WiiU has sold to date 340k in Europe. Do you truly, seriously, honestly think there are only 340k people in Europe who want a WiiU? If you answer no, than you must now agree with me that the systems sales are limited only by supply and Nintendo's ability to get the system in to waiting hands. If you answer yes, and you think there are only 340k people in Europe who want a WiiU this conversation is pointless and I don't know why you post on this site because you have no idea how many people by video games and systems. Beyond that there isn't much point to this talk, you'll see how it all works out when Nintendo sells their projections by March. Cheers.


Is it so hard to believe, that people in Europe just aren't interested in the WiiU right now?

It my be anecdotal, but all my core Nintendo friends aren't interested in it right now, they don't think the price is justified by the games on sale at the moment. Similarly, the more casual gamers I know who bought the Wii aren't interested in games at all right now :/

Until Nintendo releases games Europe wants, sales will stay low.

This is actually where I will agree with you. Early in its life, the Wii U will struggle with its identity. It needs "that" game to truly show its capabilities. Any of its 1st party franchises will do the trick.

Like a 2D Mario game?


LOL no. More like a 3D Mario, Zelda, Monolith game, Retro, Maybe even Kirby or Fire Emblem.

My wildcard is either Star fox or F Zero. :)

But 2D Mario is a far bigger system seller than any of the games you mentioned hmm

Doesn't show the sytem's potential though. MGS4 and Gears of War are examples of that.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

Germany up.



And now Europe as well.

With USA and Europe's numbers, Layton is at 0.95 million as of right now. It should reach 1 million next week.

Oops, I must have read the current numbers wrong. I thought that they were lower than 0.89. Well then, my faith is restored. Thanks for the correction.
