Isn't it tied with Vita ?

I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Well looks like someone screwed up again. Or are they counting 2011 game demos that were stolen as software sales?

Aren´t we talking about software increases in percent ?

This can´t be right.

I told you the core Nintendo fans bought the Wii U. How many games was that averaged out to? 2-4 games per person? Theres no way that would happen with a casual.
