I find it very strange that the PSV issupposedly outselling the Wii U in europe although the Wii U is constantly in the top 100 amazon charts in Germany while the best Vita bundle (Vita + LBP for 199€, aka same price as 3DS XL) is at place 480 and all the other bundles are in the 4 digit area.

I thought that maybe UK is providing most of the PSV sales but on amazon.co.uk the PSV and bundles are also very very low in the charts, in the 4 digit area.

WiiU possibly undertracked? But retailers might have a greater impact on sales if they are as low...


It appears that Wii-U is overtracked in the UK, at least based on that other thread :P

Germany and France are Nintendo land.

 

From my experience, Germany is not Nintendo land. Not even close.

Yeah, it is much more of a Sony land.

Who are you to have anything to say about experiences in Germany?

OT: Bold prediction. Almost a JohnLukas

It can still go lower. The limit is 0.

No, it can go into the negatives! Trade-ins...

Well, technically, yes. Trade Wii U for a pie with the shape of the gamecube.

I would say that's a pretty good idea.

I honestly think sales will be dismal until November unless Nintendo cuts the price before then, which I feel like they'll almost be forced to do (ala the 3DS).

Announcements of games still 1+ year out and Pikmin + Wonderful 101 aren't going to change the situation dramatically.

It seems to me to be like PS3 was, it will pick up when a Landmark game comes out and things will start to move. Right now most people don't want to drop $300 - $400 to play Super Mario Bros.
(I'm pretty much isolating the argument to US sales.. sorry if it was meant to be broader)

Also, Deutschland seems to be PC Land more than anything, but if you were to restrict it to consoles, than yeah. PSland
