You guys are going overkill on discussing European Wii U sales, paralysis by analysis.

I think it's pretty obvious:

They don't care about it! And they probably never will.

It makes about as much sense as discussing 360 numbers in Japan.


and what is your theory for the vita?

Japanese don't care about it - obviously.

Europe? I think it is selling about as much as could be expected; mid-60s.



Halo 4 is 40$ actually in the USA.



Wii U... abysmal :'( that's no good.



Anyone find it strange, that the vita performs best in north america? just never expected that

The games are geared more to the western market, where as the PSP was more geared towards the eastern market. One Sony gets third Party and their own Japan studios working on JRPGS and other games that are geared  towards them, the Vita will sell better there.

I kind of like all the games the we have seen so far from Sony, but I would really like some of their old PS2 styled games to make a come back from Japanese Developers. I want Level 5 to come back to Dark Cloud. How can I start a petition for it?

3 weeks on sale: "they will never care about it."

okay.

Lol, shows that the 360 needs a price cut. Surprisingly high Ps3 sales knowing that it was because of the re design.

The 12gb PS3 has a lot to do with the sales it is getting this holiday season. Once it is released WW, there should be a healthy increase in PS3 sales.

I don't know if the Xbox really needs to cut it's price. It is still selling very well, and it is continously making money. They may wait until the next Xbox is announced before making any changes in price.


I dont know but a 12gb ps3seems like a rip off. 



Yay!!!

The $50 price cut in the US is only temporarily.

Holiday price cut, yes, but it is a price cut. Looks like it wasn't very effective though in terms of avoiding a big drop YOY


still by far best selling console in us, after all these years it's available...

I wouldn't say 'best'. 'Least shit' is more appropriate.

OT: In Japan, when the 3DS was released the DS' sales took a huge nosedive and flat-lined. Why didn't that happen with the PSP when the Vita was released?
