Wii U sales went from abysmal to mediocre in a single week, thanks to 2 pretty ok games.. That's encouraging to see. And some people actually thought getting games wouldn't make a difference? Lol, wasn't long before that was proven false. You'd think people would be wiser about such things by now, with 40 years of gaming history to draw upon.

God, I hate such comments -_- Who were these "people"? Can't believe there still are people who after every single release of a big game discover the fact that new games sell consoles and think it's some kind of their triumph. The levels of ignorance seem to be endless.
I kinda find it hard to believe these numbers. Wii U spike in NA is surprising, but this really shows how much it's struggling, that 30k consoles sold seems shockingly high. It should be ok when really good games come, cause just like in the case of Vita, the market is reacting to new games being released. The bad part is that we have to wait at least a year for that... I still have a feeling that Vita outsold it though, since it sold a bit more in Japan and 5k in NA has always proven to be undertracking. Still, Sony needs to launch a Western offensive similar to what they did in Japan to keep Vita going. 300k Vitas sold in a month is a nice score, hope they can keep the momentum going and somehow stay round the level of 50k per week.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
