I'm not quite sure what the point of your post is. Are you saying that PS3 sold better? As I said, the WiiU is trending poorly at the moment as sales flatlined after Christmas. As of right now it is well ahead, but is trending to be just slightly above at the end of March when the PS3 Euro launch comes into play. Of course the WiiU could also start to sell worse or better in March. But as of right now WiiU has sold better based on the success of its first few months. |
If VGC ever gets around to adjusting the UK and US numbers, then yes, the PS3 was better after 14 weeks US/13 EU/12 JP.
Also success of its first few months? If you remove the launch week you get...
Wii U
US 13 weeks: 604,078
EU 12 weeks: 361,548
JP 11 weeks: 490,517
PS3
US 13w: 770,557
EU 12w: 489,034
JP 11w: 530,752
The PS3 is ahead for every territory and also outselling the Wii U in every territory on a weekly basis.
My point was you were suggesting that the PS3 was doing worse than the Wii U is currently doing. The main reason for being "worse" overall is just that it launched later in Europe. It'd be like arguing the PS3 had a better first four months than the PS2 since it was only available in Japan in that time period. Of course weekly sales were never as low as Wii U sales are now.
