Yikes! That's significantly worse than the Vita's launch numbers. (64k)

1) That was 4 days for Vita vs 2 for Wii U

2) Vita then dropped to 17k the next (full) week. If Wii U has stock available, it will be well ahead of 17k

3) UK as a basis for comparison will always help Sony consoles over Nintendo ones.

2) Well I would hope it doesn't drop much because of the holidays. Vita launched early this year and had no holiday sales to help it.

3) Why is that? 

3) Because Sony consoles always do quite well in the UK compared to how they do in the rest of the world, and Nintendo consoles always do quite poorly in the UK compared to the rest of the world.

Did you read kowenicki's post? This is factually incorrect.
