3DS up almost 40k compared to last week? I'm impressed.

Wii U still abysmal. This is getting frustrating

Nice healthy boost for 3DS, though I don't know if that's because of adjustments or what.

In addition, Wii U and Vita still floundering as expected. And PS3 is running the risk of dropping below 100k soon.

Rough YoY:

3DS        +11k (+6%)
PS3         -26k (-18%)
X360      -32k (-25%)
Wii         -37k (-64%)
PSV       -19k (-30%)

3ds over ps3 in europe.. seems very unlikely

3DS doesn't take hostages. At least Wii U didn't slide a lot this week. Vita sub 5k in the US? That's...not a lot.

Lego City U alone can't do much for WiiU. It needs more gamez.

Your reasoning being?

this

did fire emblem release that week in europe? here is the media-control chart for uk http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=159200&page=1#

maybe that's one reason for the boost?
