Was that flop? Did Sony or MS do something quick and massive to change that?

Plus a minor difference: Nintendo has the 3DS in beast mode and Wii and DS keep bringing profit in... not everything feels doomed from Nintendo to me... any comment???

I am happy to have a Wii U selling on pair of XB360 and PS3!

not saying nothing against nintendo... and the numbers are not bad...

yet... differences to keep in mind...
Xbox 360 was first HD console (in a yet SD era) against the PS2 (only the major player ever in console history)

PS3 number is only JP and NA (no europe yet)... Wii U number is WW... PS3 600$ against a 400$ XB and a 150$ PS2, and Wii that made a great launch in the same period... Wii U a 350$ against 250$ PS3 and 200$ XB360 and a already "dead" wii, the difference in price and the competition is in favor of  Wii U...

the numbers just show that demand is not great now... nintendo have to do something if they want those 5M by 31 of march.
