Why is Wii U up so much?


Probably because many stores dropped the price for the system. But the numbers are still quite depressing. 

I have yet see or hear of any of these drops in prices.  Source?


http://geizhals.de/eu/nintendo_wii_u_konsole_premium_edition_wiiu_2300132_a800719.html

The original price was 349 €, so it dropped by 50 €. The basic model is also available for 249 € which is also a 50 € drop. Don't know about other sources since I live in europe. But it's even discounted in local stores. Nobody wants it though, I never even saw someone playing at the demo unit. This isn't intended to be a bash, it's just what I'm seeing here in germany. If it keeps going like this, I'm sure the price will drop even more. Which is good for the gamers, isn't it?

I didn't see you as bashin, I just wanted to see if you had proof, and proof you did provide.

No drops around my area though.  Might be a local thing.

Yeah, the 3DS is down from last week in Japan, because of DQ7 and up everywhere else.

But still no groundbreaking numbers.

inexplicable numbers and increases.

.....and still 2.4m 360's on shelves as at Dec 31st.


both ps3 and 360 are majorly undertracked, both are around 77 million shipped now.  having over 2 million on shelves doesnt seem right

3DS on top as usual. I guess smartphones have harmed home consoles more than handheld consoles.

The PS3 is looking GOOD. I never expected the UK to swing like this in 2013. Not really sure what's up as the only week I've seen in recent where it beat Xbox was FIFA week. Also the NA gap is closing. Imagine what will happen when they finally get to $199 in those regions (or whatever the UK amount would be).

i guess that 12 GB PS3 is really helping and doing good. do you know for how much it is retailing for in the UK and how much the 160GB was for?

No the Western market is looking bad for handhelds.  Hopefully Japan doesn't get saturated anytime soon because it's holding 3DS at the top and Vita and PSP are only kept barely alive by it.  I mean PS3 is doing almost double 3DS in NA and that's its lowest market and it's $80 more expensive while being 5 years older.
