Vita launched in February in the west, so beating wii u in Europe is really telling.

Could you please add charts? Showing the current position is great but with charts we can predict the future much better.


Not really.  It's a pretty well known fact that Europe leans towards Sony.  Just look at PSP vs DS sales aligned.

Telling in the sense the Wii U is selling horrible over there...

Of course there are many reasons(such as brand loyalty) why the Wii U is selling worse, but it's sales are still dead.

 

On your point though, why would I look at PSP vs. DS? That's many years ago and also wouldn't tell the full story unless I cross referenced it with other regions. A better comparison is the 3DS vs. Vita in America and Europe. 3DS has 86% market share in Europe and 83% in America. That's such a small difference in the grand scheme of things.


I brought PSP vs DS up specifically to show that it has a lot to do with brand loyalty on why the Vita has sold more than the Wii U in Europe. 

It's not just PSP, it happened with PS3 as well, and I am pretty sure that the launch of the PS Vita in Europe may show this tendency as well.

edit:  I've seen data that suggests PSP was more successful in Europe than in other regions when compared to the DS is what I mean in my first sentence.
