it's numbers are higher than 3ds, ps3 and 360 regular uk weeks, that's hardly "half-dead".

So you're telling me that during the 1st price cut week and the release of a strong IP game, Wii U managed to sell 1k -2k more than 8 year old consoles??? My God, Wii U is a BEAST

So there is no in between half dead and beast? It's either half dead or it's a beast?

Give it a break. Acknowledge the Wii U had a great week and move on.

Your sarcasm makes it sound like this actually bothers you.

I wasnt talking about this single week, but general overall performance. This week being ''great'' for Wii U just shows in what a desperate position it actually is.

Let's put that "selling more than 8 year old consoles" point into perspective, shall we?

We're talking about consoles (PS360) that peaked much later in their life due to high launch prices, consoles that are now mass market prices with extensive libraries of games, and consoles that just had the single biggest entertainment product release (GTAV) in history revenue wise (not to mention sales monsters like COD every year).

When you consider that, a console less than a year old with a relatively tiny selection of games that is still the most expensive gaming console on the market beating systems with that kind of appeal is certainly noteworthy.

A 685% increase of 1 would be 7.85 though.

Now let's see how long it takes them to figure out that the Wii U didn't sell 1 unit last week. We might be here for a while.

Unfortunately, even the official VGChartz article got this 685% increase wrong.
