Of course, but it's not like any of those games debuted that week whereas the Vita, in a market where handhelds dominate, had a pretty popular game debut - even if it was just a remake. The point was not that the Vita did badly at all (in fact, quite the contrary) but that WiiU, a console that had 5k weekly sales earlier in the year, had comparable sales with a handheld that received a boost. |
I think this is mainly timing imho, WiiU was still riding its pre-new year boost whereas Sony platforms tend to be bought by people for themsleves after new year rather than as gifts beforehand, so it is possible that WiiU will drop faster than Vita and be outsold when we get the figures tomorrow. Who knows though, may depend if the FFX boost wears off quickly, but given that it's supposed to be more or less sold out, that might suggest that Vita will keep doing OK for at least 1 more week
