Dropping in New Years week is bad, Wii U is now starting to significantly trend below the Wii week-for-week in Japan.

For the New Years week in 2007 (the first one for the Wii), it sold 171,000+ and the PS3 sold 70,000 the same week (at that big price tag).

The 3DS is a monster. I think Nintendo made an error by seemingly making the Wii U so Japan-centric -- they don't give a crap about consoles anymore. 

Should've made the Wii successor more tailored to the Western markets. 


those sales are pretty horrible for the wii u, when even the 599$ ps3 out sold it that same week and it had the wii as competion.



so can somebody explain the vita increase?

74k on media create. That week last year would be the Jan2-8 correct?

VGC listed it as ~74K.

No famitsu numbers?

The site is not showing the numbers but neogaf has it as:

3DS:305,690台
Wii U:70,662台
PS3:64,834台
PSP:53,154台
Vita:31,082台
Wii:5,414台
Xbox 360:1,266台


Thanks.

So everything relevant increased except Wii U. I can't imagine how brutal it's drop is going to be next week. At least 3DS and Nintendo software are doing well.

If I'm not mistaken, this is usually a great week for Sony hardware.  They traditionally get big boosts during New Years I've been told.

do you know why?

Nintendo people felt sorry for the system after reading various videogame forums and decided to buy out of good faith, that and to increase sales since Kaz mentioned that sales were at the lower range.

I have no idea.  Just like Nintendo hardware getting a bigger sustained boost than other hardware, it's just one of those things.
