Amazing thing it is to have content available. Where would iPod be without iTunes? Dead years ago.

By the end of this year, WiiU will be selling fine and around 10m sold. More than PS360's first year.

You contradict your statement by saying year end then first year. Wii U will not be anywhere close to 10mil at it's 1st year aniversary. And the Ps3 had over 10mil shipped at the end of 2007. The Wii U shipped 3.02m so far and since that figure was released has significantly dropped behind the Ps3's numbers... So unless you are expecting an unprecedent 4th quarter comeback for any system then the Wii U will fall short of 10mil sold. It will probably be under Ps3's numbers of about 9mil in my opinion.

Oh, why do you talk about PS3? The thread is about how games improved sales of the WiiU.

Hmm, probably I should take your hint from before, what to do in this case, what do you think?


He talked about the PS3 because Superchunk referenced it first.  In this instance if you were going to get someone for going offtopic it would be superchunk and not Max.

I hope you don't actually think the two posts are comparable.

According to the front page, there were 1.4 million Vita's sold in each market. Vita came out earlier in Japan, had a price cut there. It wouldn't be too difficult to figure out that if you align launches and take the price cut effect into account, Vita's smallest market is Japan by a significant margin. Isn't that the case with the PSP as well?

Edit: Well I checked that out and apparently PSP's biggest market is Europe, followed by Japan. Japan sales are only marginally bigger than US though, US was probably ahead a few weeks ago. 

He never clarified if he meant the "smallest market for Vita" or just "the smallest market" in general. I went with the last one as that is what it looked like he was trying to say.

Why is it so hard for people to recognize the simple fact that games sell hardware?

under 60k isnt anemic. thats still terrible as well as you are over looking the price cuts and the following sales drop

That explains why people are celebrating Vita selling even less than that in a week after price cuts despite being on the market for well over a year.

1 this thread isnt about vita

2 the vita sold 82k which is more than 60k

3 vitas price drop was in the smallest market

4 the vitas sales are still terrible

5 reported for off  topic trolling

Oh really? I remember your posts in a thread about the WiiU initially outselling PS3 and XBox 360. Your posts were off-topic and tried to spin it into negativity. Interesting. Now I know what to do with your posts the next time. Thanks for the hint.

Agreed, it´s time we act the same way they do.

Actually I was more pointing out, that Max.. overreacted over this thing. I don't want to start a thing, that everyone reports everyone else. Please don't do that.
