Thanks for this! Hopefully the VGChartz sales team is taking notes!

Yeah, numbers have to be adjusted by ten units for each system :D

What about Wonderbook? XD

I see it on the picture you posted.

I went to Best Buy yesterday and one kid had one in his hands. I was surprised.



I have a pretty good idea what sales for December will look like.

And theres a couple BIG winners. Neither of which is the Vita or PSABR.

Though the Creed bundle for Vita has done pretty well.

Interesting, out of the software are those the only two games sold out? I know where I shop they stocked up heavy on ps all stars over Christmas not sure how well they sold though.

The WiiU just seems to have nobody interested, I was talking to one of my friends the other day and he didn't even know what a WiiU was, another one of my friends thought the wiiU was just a controller that you add to your wii


lol a lot of people don't even know it's a stand alone system. just that it's a really expensive tablet for the Wii


Yeah thats what I thought it was aswell until about 3 weeks before its release.



why did nobody buy the wonderbook in the backround, it looks like a really nice and big book!

This is the most biased piece of article I have ever seen and is obviously not true.

Carry on.


Using Best Buy's Store Pickup availability check online, it seemed like big markets on the coasts were out of Wii U Deluxes.  But many markets whether it was Chicago, Atlanta, Kansas, etc....did have them available every time I checked (and I checked very frequently).  In fact even just now, many markets in the coastal city zip codes still show Unavailable.  So depending on where he is, he might be telling the truth.  Wii U is not soldout throughout.  Ad bestbuy has less supply of Wii U it seems, if you check Gamestop, Walmart, Target, Gamestop, even in markets where Best Buy says sold out, they would have them available.  The white ones are so lackluster, Best Buy offered free Nintendoland to try to move them.

Pachter had an interesting take on Nintendo withholding marketing blitz to manage supply and demand and I think he's got a point.  I'm a huge fan of Nintendo, and hold a decent chunk of their much depreciated stock.  But I do think Wii U is very lukewarm so For once I hope Pachter's right.



This tells us nothing



Try not to be too disappointed when the Vita numbers are released.
