Those Wii U numbers are a troubling.

I'm a bit worried on how the PS4 and 720 are going to perform since they are probably going to be priced higher than the Wii U.

I completely agree, unless its earth shattering, 400 and higher could be dangerous.

PS3 is the only relevant hardware in Europe. 3DS is the only relevant hardware Worldwide.

cookie for reference.

You mean, Wii U is the second rider of the apocalypse?

Well... er... no that's not the reference but you are correct that this is the second rider of the apocalypse. The remaining two horsemen will appear with the releases of the next two major consoles. Then may God have mercy on our souls.

And then the antichrist (Apple) will come and deceive many.

nu-uh. It doesn't work like that. You have to downplay the PS3 and say that the 3DS is the only thing that sold good this week.

If they're accurate those PSV and WiiU are frighteningly bad. To put things in perspective in the same week back in 2007 PS3 sold 89k without even being launched in Europe yet.

Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

1.6 million gap.

PS3 outselling 360 by 50 k each week on average.

7-8 months is 1.8 million. Thats around August 2013. Unless MS does a LONG OVERDUE 360 price drop.

Best case scenario for PS guys is August 2013. Worst case is after November.

don't forget all the exclusives coming out in Q1 & Q2 (beyond, LoU, GoW, Sly, Puppeteer, Ni No Kuni). PS3 could get some big spikes from a couple of those. Also I think Sony has some room to maneuver with the cheaper slim. They will cut price if Microsoft does I feel.

So much for losing relevance huh?

Everyone always knew The Japan = Games.

Vita is death. 720 is famine (because Xbox gamers have been starved of a new console for the longest). PS is war (because they wage war on Microsoft for specs and cause their death financially). WiiU is pestilence because A. Nothing else is left and B. it preyed on the disease of casual gamers and now suffers their ipad loving ways!

WiiU fans are now in the exact same position Vita fans were in last year. WiiU sales weekly sales have met up (down) with Vita sales for the comparable week.

??

Vita launched after 3ds. WiiU is technically winning next gen.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
