Th fact that you can't see a flaw in that says a lot. A. UK has bought more Nintendo then Sony products last gen so comparing the Wii U to Vita is useless. And B. comparing holiday sales to non holiday sales is a really dumb comparison as well.

Simply put.... excuses

I kid. But reliatically, yes the christmas period has sold more hardware then normal but the fact remains that only 100,000 people here were desperate to get a vita in a space of 10 weeks. There will be new year sales but some of the weeks will be when the buzz is over.

It really doesn't matter how much 3ds, vita or wii u sell here. This is the same place that threw a bad reaction at £55 call of duty games. They will go at a slow and steady rate. What people want to look at is the rest of the world. And it seems to be doing quite well. I still say that this is doing well because this seems to be more to do with stock. I think selling nearly double your expected shipments and almost (if not fully) selling out in just 2 days is a huge achievement.

What nintendo uk will be disappointed in is that software failed to break into the top 10.
