PS3 is on fire.



Around the Network

3DS is on fire

It's selling better than any console in ALL regions!



Wii U soon below WII... What a flop..



Vita below WiiU in Europe...What a flop...

From the data Nintendo put out, the Vita was about 19% higher than the Wii U in Europe the past quarter.  Granted that doesn't necessarily apply to this week, but VGC does have the Wii U higher than the Vita for the year so far.

Also, is VGC going to go another quarter with the horribly inaccurate PSP and DS numbers?  I mean 909 for a system that averaged ~22k per week last quarter (almost as much as the Vita, Wii U, and DS combined)...

While both numbers are tiny. I never thought I would see the day where the Xbox outsells the DS in Japan, *by more than 7 times.*

It is still selling in other regions, or a perhaps a typo.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Another week, another 5k for Vita in NA. It's been the same for the last two months - VGC says 5k, NPD says 8k... Safe to say it's the same story this week.

Also, this Wii U thingy outselling Vita in Europe? I find it very hard to believe. There is no hope for Wii U until the Christmas window starts.


Damn, Sony better bring the price cut to the West fast and put some cash into marketing Soul Sacrifice here. This game has the potential to move a bunch of consoles and sell really decent, but so far the only thing Sony did was the awesome demo, which sold me on the game (already pre-ordered), even though I was really hesitant about it, but this can only affect people who already own the console and not potential hardware buyers.

Why is it so hard to believe? This is the VITA we're talking about, not PS3 or something.. Wii U at least has Monster Hunter and NSMB U. What does Vita have to bring in sales?

PSP sold what?

Thats amazing, had no idea about this. Wonder why its selling so well there?

I think the most alarming thing about Wii U/Vita numbers is how they're doing compared to Wii/PSP, then again 3DS had the same problem in the west. I guess in these hard economic times people are just slower to upgrade?



WiiU+Vita DOOM!!!

And decent 3DS. Really wish some of those numbers in Europe would be higher though.

I belive DS costs more than 3DS in japan so that has alot to do with it and DS still sells pretty well in NA because it costs $99-129 and 3DS is $169-199
