Wii U and Vita holding somewhat steady; just a little down from last week. Seems like theyll stay around 30k each...

3DS doing better in EU than in US?? Anyway, the boost is because of Tomodachi in Japan I think....

That was the case with de DS as well.

topic: I doubt the 3DS has sold more than the PS3 this week in Europe, but of course the FE bundle should have boosted the sales a bit.

WiiU and Vita still absymal.

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Nice, PS3 hovering ~125-130k and 360 probably hovering ~100k this week!

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

I'm not putting too much faith in these numbers anymore after NPD, but still.

I wish Vita were doing better in the USA/UK. I don't think Soul Sacrifice will do anything at all.

Injustice opening isn't really all that explosive either. Dunno what I was expecting from it but DCU game from MK9 team; maybe a bit higher that it's gotten.

Also, like the doubters of Vita hardware shortages in Japan; I'm gonna have to doubt the 3DS software shortages in Europe. Perhaps in countries like Germany it is just flat-out different to in the UK, fair enough. But this week; and last week in my town, GAME & Grainger Games both had plenty of stock of Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion on display.

That's the least of Vita's problems.

3ds over ps3 in europe.. seems very unlikely

Your reasoning being?

this

3DS over 360 seems unlikely accoridng to that.

360 looks like about 22% to 3DS 18% and PS3 31% ish.

Europe market share.

3DS 17.5%
NDS 1.5%
WII 8.5%
WIU 4.5%
PSP 10.5%
PSV 5.5%
PS3 30.5%
360 21.5%

-gaf

So it took the 3DS only ~2 years to reach half of the marketshare the PS3 has? Sorry, but for me this makes it even more plausible that it outsold the PS3 this week. It won't necessarily stay like this, but for now it shouldn't be too hard to accept it.

No, no, you're misreading this. This is Q1 2013 marketshare, not total marketshare.

Oh, sorry then.
