So Vita Japan likely to be > Wii U world wide, yet it's done disappointingly for a lot of people. The only reason it appears disappointing is because it spent 2 weeks >60K. If it had gone 60K then 45K then 36K people wouldn't be calling 36K unexpectedly low.

I guess this week's PS3 numbers show the power of Kingdom Hearts. PS3 sales life on the basis of a PS2 HD re-release. Though I suppose nearly every Kingdom Hearts fan who doesn't already have a PS3 will buy this so they can play it like it's all new, and it has trophies. Still small compensation for lack of KH3, unless the HD re-release implies KH3 isn't too far away.

are you serious? How much do you expect Vita in Japan alone to sell? Also how much you think WiiU will sell? Since you think Vita(Japan)>WiiU(WW)

O_o You do realise you are in the Media Create / Famitsu Japan Hardware sales for 17 March thread right? You only have to look at the OP to KNOW how much Vita has sold.

Also have you looked at the VGC homepage lately? Based on the WW Wii U sales for the last 5 or 6 weeks, and they fact they have been declining over that period, it's a pretty good possibility that Wii U sales won't jump by 8K (21%) based on the software releases in the west this week (Japan sales fell by ~1K so west sales need to make up for that fall).

Or do you think Lego City and a Monster Hunter Tri port will boost sales by a lot? At this point in a console's life, especially selling as badly as Wii U, any game release is bound to boost sales a bit, but both of those games have pretty small pre-order numbers in USA, so I don't expect that big of a boost.

Still even the fact that WiiU (WW) < Vita (J) is a possibility is not good for Wii U.
