Dat Wii U boost in America, over Vita. Hopefully the same in Europe and Japan in the coming weeks!

its really surprising actually. though im sceptical to be honest. those gears numbers seem way to low, and that jump for the WiiU seems a tad to high

And good opening for Lego and MH! Looks like games were the problem after all. Imagine when big games come!

...

Alright. Maybe over egging this.

Indeed, a 300% increase roughly. Much better than I expected.

NPD will reveal all. I expect under tracking all round. The Wii U numbers may be right now, but before they were too low if you follow the trend.

As always these days, I cautiously await NPD before nodding in agreement with these numbers. But a 20k boost for Wii-U in NA - if true - is very decent.

Monster Hunter not so much, although it figures. NFS bomba.  Pretty nice for LEGO, though.  I'm guessing that's where the hardware sales came from.

Those Gears numbers seem low, too.

I second this. Wii U spike seems to high and Gears sales to low, but well the preorder numbers are often way off so I don't know.

gears is done!
