Man, the Uncharted growth is amazing.

Id have liked to have seen the growth without bundles, but its quite special.

Do you know how or if digital sales are counted? I know that some games are talked about (minecraft especially) but what with the other games? Sony? MS?

I'm sure the shipped figures by Nintendo and Sony are just retail but the companies releases some digital numbers sometimes for big games.

Minecraft is only digital? So all the numbers are digital (not trakced by VGC).

I don't get this fuzz about Wii U dropping 5k from last week. As far as I can see when comparing it to 360 in the same time period during the first holiday it did very well. Wii U dropped from 395k to 390k, whereas the 360 dropped from 165k to 135k the week before x-mas... Wii U will drop next week as well, and will pick up again in early/mid January...

That being said, Wii U numbers in EU is not good. I don't buy in on the whole "supply constrained" talk. There's something else at work here. At least it's doing well WW, no matter what certain people say. I don't think a newly launched system ever outsells the older ones during the first few months...

3DS dominating Vita we expected, but the DS dominating Vita as well? At least it outsold PSP!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

And that's another 40k for Xenoblade.

I hope it can break 1m!! I would have if it was released earlier... Hope Nintendo learned something from that!!

Wow AC3 is nuts.


Going to sell 13 + million Units on Both systems combined.

Black Ops 2 has shown some nice legs as well, its now only 4% back from MW3.

However MW3 has an extra holiday week.

It will be telling after new Years if BO2 sells more like BO or more like MW3.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star are really good, it's even out pacing Super Paper Mario at the same time period. It's also bound to become the best selling Paper Mario title in Japan.

Actually, WiiU is outselling Wii. Just shows you how far Nintendo consoles have fallen the last few years when their new console and their old #1 can't combine to sell as much as either PS3 or 360.

Yeah, Wii never could last as long as the HD twins. What Wii U needs to do right now is to show everyone what it really is capabable of...

It should do, YoY drops in Europe are very promising. Heck, it's even sold more this year than last in Germany, and will likely end the year but 39% down YoY in Europe. If it holds the same next year and in America, it should breeze past it in the coming months.

 

Who'd have thought it!.

Ouch. Wii U sold more software this year than the Vita. It's already about halfway in lifetime sales too......
