I think this year it will sell more than last year because the better exclusives releases... so more sales from LE and bundles... a price cut will help too.

How so?

Adding in online sales can only be beneficial unless you believe that PSN is just completed ignored and no one uses it (which we know to not be the case).

It would obviously look better if digital is included but retail didn't have a single title in the top 30. What does the Vita section look like in Japanese retail stores, it must be tiny.

PSN sales represent a very high margin of total video game software sales for a game.. based on the ratings on PSN alone.. which can only be given if the product is purchased on PSN, and is only usually selected by people that have any interest in rating a game.. so a game at it's lowest sales would have sold on PSN at least whatever the rating scale says on PSN

Not impressive, no. But also not an overt failure.

Surely you didn't think it would instantly be doing 3DS numbers. (Don't call me Shirley. Airplane!)

Those Wii U numbers are just fine, it's still the top selling home console over there.

Also what's up with the Vita increase? Did something come out?

You just need to hope it does better than the PS3, as these comments seem to bother you, because after launch the PS3 was treated expotentially worse than the Wii U is being treated now.

You're not seriously suggesting that digital downloads will make no difference to attach rates to a device that is net connected.... interesting. For me, that is a little short sighted in this digital connected age. 

oh god....here we go again with the digital sales death spiral....

Poor U. Next weeks are gonna be rough.
