WiiU winning the week was somewhat expected, almost a given from last week's numbers. It seems that every Japanese person who wanted a PS4 got it the first week, what with 35.000 Infamous's (Infami?) sold without any boost to hardware.
I do wonder how many held off buying WiiU until MK8, could we perhaps be disappointed next week if the game shatters the charts and HW fails to show a significant increase?

I'm sorry but I cannot be happy with this.. There's only one week left until the megaton known as Mario Kart 8 releases and U manages to sell less than 10k only? Even though is great that it surpasses PS4, those numbers are still a tragedy.

There is no need to be morose, my brethren.

Your satisfaction was not expected.

Not being cynical at all. I do want to wiiu be sucessful when deserved and thought mk8 would change console sales to ~20k to say the least. Of course the bundled consoles + Mk8 will be reported next week, but I'm not expecting a massive shift. Maybe 30k in Japan alone?

...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Doesn't surprise me. Sony has not really done anything to gain any sales at all. Heres hoping the Wii U will continue to outsell it so developers can put some Jrpgs on it :3

Dont get your hopes too high, Wii was outselling PS3 by a good margin, still, PS3 had 90% of the exclusives, because dev know where will be the big multiplatform games selling consoles

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m
