People really shouldn't have expected the Vita price drop to make a huge difference this week. It was a very sudden announcement. Only people who were paying attention to Gamescom knew about it right away. It sounds like some retailers were even slow on the uptake. Maybe next week we'll see a bigger difference... Sony didn't play this one very well. They should have announced the cut ahead of time, and it should have taken place the week of a major software release. A couple of weeks ago when Dragon's Crown was released would have been the perfect time.

Disney Infinity numbers on Wii U are encouraging if they're correct.

Why is the PS3 up in Europe? The €199 12GB PS3 released there ages ago, it's only new to NA. Did VGC screw up?

I think the Vita price cut will help more when a couple games come out and this holiday. Also its cool to see Wii U have 2 new games in the top 30 for US and UK

Numbers are about what expected.  I think the 360 has an install base about 40x the size of the Wii U in the US.  About 20X for the PS3.  So, it makes sense to expect numbers to be lesser for the Wii U.  Maybe not 40x less (since a higher percentage of Wii U owners should be active users), but significantly less.  The sales on the Wii U were about 1/20 of the sales of the 360.  We'll see how the sales figures play out, but the numbers make sense.  Percentagewise about .4% of XBox 360 owners bought the game and about .5% of Wii U owners bought the game.  You'd like the Wii U number to be higher (since the XBox 360 install base number is inflated by replacement units and such), but I really don't find the Wii U numbers terrible considering the install base.

Fanbase is also a factor.  Naturally, the Wii U's audience skews less towards TPS games than PS360 does or PSOne will.  On the other hand, we saw Disney Infinity have a nice opening this week.  33K for the Wii U compared to 88K for the XBox 360 is pretty good considering install bases.  So that's about 2.2 of the Wii U audience buying the game as compared to .02% of 360 owners.  Hopefully this will bode well for games like Sonic Lost World, Skylanders Swap Force, Yarn Yoshi etc.

Big problem is just the install base.  I think Splinter Celll Blacklist sold about as well as it should have considering the amount of systems out there and Nintendo's fan base.  The numbers obviously are not great, but I don't think they're horrific either.  I think that if the Wii U base expands it will be a viable place for these kinds of ports, and I do think the base will expand significantly over the holiday.

The 12GB PS3 officially was 229€ in europe 'til the Gamescom. Sure you could get it cheaper at most shops, but I guess some just reduced the price after the official price cut.

At the same time the PS Vita prices didn't change at all after the Gamescom. Only some bundles got cheaper. Even the memory card prices didn't really go down. Actually most of them are still priced above the new MSRP.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you?

they are well spent. game will sell millions over the long run and people will buy a lot of these figurines. some people will even buy one of the disney movies because their kids like this or that character in the game so much but didn't see the movie yet (but ok, this will be only a small number)

Man, the PS Vita didn't do so well considering, the PS3 couldn't overtake the 360 in US even after a pricecut. MS has a pretty big foothold on US if the PS3 still can't overtake it for even a week with all the exclusives that have or are coming out this year.

the 12GB verison costed €249. they lowered it down too €199. 

Too early to notice Vita becoming stronger. Give it some more time.
