interesting how people ignore the bundles that are coming for wii u oct 31.

Unless those bundle push Wii U over 100k or something then it really isn't worth noting. Obviously Wii U's sales will increase at those launches but it's been doing so bad for so long it needs to be huge to make up for lacking sales. Also, just with the Vita sales will drop the following week anyway. Also, there is still 2 more weeks till we see the effects of those

lol, i expecte vita to be 40-50k going by amazon but i didn't want to say it here (thank god). All last week it was in the top 40 sometimes top 20 (all vita colors)! I didn't expect a 35k+ drop though! maybe it can stay like this intill GE2 comes and Vita TV? We'll see! WiiU might do a huge turn around soon! SM3DW is sparking the World, that new trsiler in japan and Wii Party U o.O

 

good luck to both !

just means you haven't been looking at numbers for long.  revisions have a sales spike.  spike meaning low, high, low.  percentage wise that drop isn't all the different than any other gaming revision.   there was no way this was going to go from 3k to 58k to 50k...

25k is okay for what it is.  ..but vita is doing terrible to begin with.  a slightly thinner version isn't going to change that.   holiday's are later in japan than in the west,..  vita will drop sub 10k for at least a week this year still.

Out of curiosity, what kind of boost are you expecting?



Well... he expected 120k for the week WWHD released. It only hit 80k and even that's questionable being that VGC overtracked the Wii U by about 10% last month

I meant the way amazon had it in the top was unbelievable the past week. Before The week wen we saw 60k for vita i thought it could drop to around 30k in  all honesty. Your right with the spike after a new revision is released but 3ds xl didn't drop nowhere near in fact wasn't it good for awhile? (i think NSMB2 released so my point might not be good o.O) 

Well Next two weeks it'll decline to 16k-20k then GE2 comes out and Vita TV so its in good shape for holidays. Sony needs to just help it outside japan but with ps4 launching it'lll be next year vita will shine in US/Europe imo

"We must laugh at wiiu as much as possible before Sales Rise!" What you expect, Im glad Ninty is trying to go all out this Winter, we'll see some good news soon! Let 3DS still take the top spot, WiiU will get its 2nd place in the charts soon !!!!



Vita was widely mocked last year for falling to ~ 4k a week before the new colours (red/blue) released.  Same thing happening here, except instead of new colours its new bundles; and the floor seems ~ 1k lower than it was for Vita.

Nothing surprising.  Bundles are of course a factor but you can still expect people commenting on it until they release.

Wii U's on life support, but I guess that should be expected with the new, much better bundles coming. It's not unlike the dive Vita took before the new model.

if i'm reading the calandar right it will be like 14-16kk, 10-14k, 5-10k and then rise the week of 17th as holidays kick in a little.

...unless i'm missing a major release.  afaik vita has no gaems.

The WiiU and Vita trolling and defense tactics are both so similar every week it's amazing!

Nintendo and Sony should just team up, using Vita as the new WiiU gamepad. The internet would implode out of sheer awesome/doom. Yes, both at once.
