Halo4 3rd place this year with only 6 weeks in competition and only outsold by the obvious cod. Won't lose 3rd place.

It's a shame about 3DS being down, but unfortunately it's no surprise. Impossible to repeat last holiday's incredible sales of 3D Land and Kart 7 with a Paper Mario and nothing else. Had they kept to their original timing and released Luigi's Mansion in Nov/Dec and not delayed it, they may have had a shot at keeping even with last year.

As in bad advertising, or lack of it?
I've certainly seen plenty of Wii-U adverts over the holidays, they're just crappy ones that don't make the system seem particularly appealing.
WiiU outsold by Vita in Europe : check!

Wii U is trending really well at the moment, no reason to worry unless sales fall off a cliff and Pikmin/ Lego City/ Wonderful 101 don't make a significant impact at retail. Those three games need to do really well or Wii U will be flat-lining until Holiday 2013.

Seems many people are starting to make excuses for Wii U lackluster sales already. What do those three games bring that the ones that are already released dont (COD, 2D mario, Assassin creed 3, you know, mega blockbusters). Couple that with games coming out from the competation (GTA5, GOW, GOW, a new castlevania,dead space, the list gones on) Pikmin delayed, wont be showing up until at least Q2. Its just a system people in europe do not want and released at the wrong time by Nintendo.

Actually I thinkg PS3 is pretty good. It had a price cut last year and none this year, also no huge exclusives this year. Only being down by 13% despite all that is pretty good. |
I think the super slim PS3 has pushed the sales everywhere except inthe US.

I'm sure 360 can do it in 2 weeks

Whoo, launch overtake-maneuver now! DS of course out of reach ;)
@Halo: With US+UK combined it's now at about 420k! MBP predicted 540k this week which I think is a bit off... Isn't it?

Ports on an unproven system is nothing to go by. What sells Nintendo hardware is first-party software and 3rd-party exclusives, not ports. Pikmin and Lego City will do really well, and the big question mark is Wonderful 101 because while it's an exclusive and it's Platinum Games, it's a new IP and therefore it will heavily depend on the Metacritic score.
