Ugh, I hope people aren't quoting these numbers anywhere.

The other 14 weeks it was not available on Vita, only on PC. I presume low numbers are due to PC gamers downloading it (or pirating it, of course :)

I know :P I was just joking because it's another case of VGC tracking a game months before it actually releases (for another example, see Sonic Transformed on 3DS).
I also found it quite amusing that this week VGC have decided that Vita isn't selling > 10k a week in Europe any more, presumably due to the NPD numbers being so low for Vita. Low, apparently, because Sony have stopped shipping the 1000 model to the USA in preparation for the 2000 model releasing. Which would totally affect European sales where we already have the 2000 model...
.... wait a minute.
Did anyone notice UK software sales?

Why would the Wii, DS, and PSP see 60+% increases this week. The only Wii game in the top 75 dropped 10 spots this week. It likely did less than 1k, yet Wii software sales overall saw a rise of ~18k. I'm not sure if retailers in the UK even carry enough individual Wii games to make that number possible. If Just Dance did 1k, and all the other software averaged 500 units, it would need nearly 100 different pieces of software selling.
The numbers also seem ridiculously high compared to the monthly estimates that jvm puts out.
The Wii nearly equaled the month of February this week, and the DS exceeded it. PS3 seems like it is probably too high as well. Also, while it is fine compared to these monthly numbers, the week on week figures for the Wii U seem odd as well. Up about 5.2k when the only new release almost surely is under 2k, and possibly less than 1.5k based on Dark Souls PS3 sales last week. Considering Rayman and DK dropped out of the top 75, and 3D World dropped 4 spots, I'm not sure where those sales are coming from.

Well good thing Japan exists then
