Wii U sales are good, not very good compared to other systems. But I think most people thought it would like drop down to 45k or sth. else. But Still over 70k is good. That shows, Wind Waker gave the system a nice boost and we will have to wait for Games like Wii Party U, Mario & Sonic and Sm3DW. I predict it can hold above 50k till SM3DW EASILY.

So what's the general consensus about Pokemon HW bump in the west? Seems limited to me. Basically, 93% of pokemon buyers already had a 3DS.

It will be hard to reach 18m systems sold if even pokemon can't move more than that. But there's still Xmas I guess...

WiiU held nicely, 3DS in japan will be 14.5M+ by years end.

Is there any reason the PSP's ROW numbers are so dang high? It seems a little ridiculous for ROW to be over 10k on a system barely selling 15K in all the big game markets...

can someone please explain?

EDIT: vita's ROW also seems pretty high compared to other consoles

Nice hold for the wii u i hope it holds out above 50k for at least a few weeks

Vita is pretty much alive in Japan

xbox 360 > Wii U in NA on those two weeks

I can only offer anecdotal evidence, but where I work I get TONS of foreigners (particularly middle eastern and South American people) asking for the PSP.  So, I wouldn't be totally shocked if that were true.

I shall hold off commenting on hardware until after NPD. Something seems off with the numbers lately.

Software-wise, that would be decent from Beyond if true, but I don't see it sharing Heavy Rain's legs.

I've heard that fans who consider Disgaea a "day 1" series didn't buy this game upon release.
