It looks like Europe are completely rejecting the Wii U console cause there's not any kind of increase in that market.

it's hard to have an increase when the price cut and zelda release will only count on next week's chart.

GTA5 still in beast mode it seems. Same as with the PS3 sales. 3DS and Xbox 360 doing pretty good for this time of the year, especially the 360 considering it's age.

WiiU sales have improved, but nothing to write home about and will decline pretty soon, as i can't see it selling well on any webshop. PS Vita still pretty week and PSP refuses to go away.

not next week ,for sure. it may decline between october 6 and 19 but it's an uphill race after that.

PS3 performance in Europe is amazing.

Good to see wii u doing better than the vita..now only if third party developers (not just indies) took advantage of the wii u's potential..

I don't see how this is good in any way.

That's true. But that won't be because of the WiiU itself, but rather the season and the shopping habits you see usually around this time. No console drops in sales after that time.

or, you know, THE GAMES. the holidays have little influence without software to boost the system's sales. vita already proved that holidays alone mean nothing.

Final Fantasy XIV:

PC version enters the chart... Initial Ps3 players accepting that on the PS3 this game plays like shit. (bit harsh but just getting the point across)


It plays like shit on large fates in Coerthas and North Thanalan but everything else is good. All end game dungeons and instances play fine because it's a controlled environment with a limited number of players/mobs on screen. The large fates are only an issue because you could have 100 or more players in the same fate on screen and get terrible lag with mobs not appearing etc.  Everything else is perfectly playable, especially if you have a USB keyboard like me.

I have an excellent internet connection and suffer tremendous 'lag' from low level fates. Switching targets as a tank with ds3 is a bitch and overall control is much much worse when playing with ds3. Don't get me wrong, i really enjoy the game but there is a reason the PC version suddenly enters that chart and the Ps3 version does not.

Whoop whoop! PS3 is CRUSHING Xbot359 by 1 MILLION units!!

So, Wii is the WINNER of the generation (obviously) and the PS3 comes in second and it was released a WHOLE YEAR after the Xboner360.

PS3 has the best controller, too.

not over yet PS3 closed the gap by 180,000 this week.  2015 or 2016 we could see it overtake Wii.  The race isn't over till all the runners stop.  If one runs way ahead and stops right before the finish the other can keep chugging and win it all
