Wii U took out the vita this week! Booya!

..... So depressing....


Vita outsold Wii U this week taking the usual numbers of media create : 41k in Japan



dont matter cuz then NPD shows up Wii U probably still beat it by 5k, if not more

NPD won't tell us this week's sales. 



no it wont but if its undertracked by lets say 40k. Then most likely 20-25k will be for this week right?

I know it's been asked before, but why the hell are 360 and DS still on sale in Japan? I mean 100 units is hardly worth it and 500 doesn't seem so either.

i was actually going to ask the same thing about the 360, but then i thought that wouldnt be at all good for the launch of the 720. even if MS arent making any money at all in japan they need to stay in the market and have some presence, even if its not noticable, they still need to be there. i dont think it would be smart to discontinue the 360 before 720 even launches there

I feel like things were as good for MS as they're going to get this gen in Japan considering the head start and all the Japanese centric exclusives they got at the start of the gen.  They really pushed there and it didn't even make a dent (ok it did better than Xbox 1 but still not worth all the money they spent for those games).  Just like with all territories they won't have as much of a price or date advantage, and they'll have many less exclusives this go around unless they feel like moneyhatting will work for some reason this time.  Why even bother?


well considering they sold about 1.5 million xbox's there, it just might be worth it. even if its a little bit of money they are making. imagine how the press would react if they didnt even release it in japan

Possibly, I guess. But also keep in mind that Vita was undertracked in USA last month. Even just a small undertracking here for it would put it above WiiU. Not that it matters lol



WiiU > Vita this week (not that it matters though LOL )

Wii U boost due to games and/or UK price cut?


the games are the biggest factor. because the UK price cuts wouldnt effect the sales in the USA now would they?

I still think Gears and God of War didn't fly of shelves because they were prequels released so late into the generation and not because of franchise exhaustion.

NSMBU already has half of the Wii U installbase.
