Callahan added that PlayStation 3 software was down 2% compared to last year (when adjusting for the five-week period), and 3DS sales were only down 4%. He also noted that accessory sales were up 4% compared to a year ago, and that “Skylanders accessory sales continue to impress and made up five of the top ten accessory SKUs sold this month.”

PS3 software down only 2% per week compared to last year... AMAZING!!!

3DS hardware or software sales? If hardware, then it looks like VGC were spot on!

Lol @Skylanders

Looks like software... 4% down per week.

Ouch.

Wii U overtracked.
Xbox 360 undertracked.(weird!)

Any word on PS3 or Vita sales?

Can "well under 100k" = 55k? Maybe we have it too low?

where PS3 at? over 200k?

Most likely. Unless Wii surprised everyone and sold a lot suddenly.

At least they have the balls to give us numbers each month unlike some, so give credit where its due.

your right. maybe sony should tell us every week how ps3 is the highest selling console in the world.

Well I guess the only solace that can come out of this is that its rock bottom, but with next gen console announcements on the way, i'm sure they are going to eat at future Wii U sales. For Sony and Microsoft, they CANNOT repeat what the Wii U is doing, they have to take this launch as lesson learned and do everything not to repeat it.

Price cut and anything drastic will most likely cost Nintendo profitability for this year and probably years to come, I can see why the stock is trading near all time lows in the US (~ two dollars above)


well I don't think February will be any better...could be worse. It's a software wasteland this month for wiiu afaik. March will bring a boost since some solid software releases are taking place

Feburary should be lower actually, which is frightening, because January this year was a 5 week month, Feburary is already shorter than any month, but especially compared to January this year for NPD.

Plus the only big release for the Wii U in Feb (Rayman) just flew away.

yeah exactly....why the hell didn't Ninty put at least one big game in February is beyond my comprehension 

I know EU is getting that MH console bundle right? Wonder if NA will get it too

And PS4 is being unveiled next week as well...and eventually the nextbox unveiling.
