Those wii u numbers are terrible. In the UK there has been serious discounting of stock and yet those numbers are awful. It seems the wii u has had some serious non official price drops to maintain similar numbers to last year if the same is happening in other markets.
PS3 deserves to sell more, far superior range of software, blu-ray movie playback and the brilliant value of psn plus. The console itself in many ways is more powerful than wii u. The cpu is probably 4x as powerful and there is more memory bandwidth in the memory chips themselves. It also benefits from a fast sata hard drive to stream data at high speed in addition to its optical drive. Add to that full support for surround with 7.1 soundtracks in games etc plus a decent controller. Yes the wii u has a superior gpu, more memory and that 32MB of fast embedded memory but the ps3 is still very competitive in hardware and where games exist on both consoles they are generally better on ps3 than wii u. I say that as a wii u owner with both connected to a projector. It's clear to see the ps3 outperforms the wii u most of the time. Nintendo really set the bar low this generation.
It's hard to recommend the wii u with its limited software library and weak performance. I honestly see this year as a decline year for wii u unless NIntendo can do something. A real shame.
