Actually, I wonder if the PS4 will be below the 3DS next week, with the XBone on top. Seems pretty likely.

Apparently, they're completely sold out of PS4 now, and i'm not sure when a new shipment will arrive. It will surprise me if XO isn't topping the charts next week.

Next week we should also see the WiiU over the 100 000 mark for the first time since forever. 

Also, the number of 3rd party sales on the current 1 mill installbase of the PS4 could be considered disastrous for WiiU and serve as definite proof that 3rd party multiplatform games can't do decent numbers unless its exclusive to the platform. Nintendo needs to buy valuable system selling ip's now, or im going to get really worried for what might happen in 2014 in terms of 3rd party support. 

Looking at these numbers, i'm guessing Activision, WB and Ubisoft executives are just flat out scratching their collective heads in bafflement. 

The complete BOMBING of Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is proof western Nintendo WiiU owners are following reviewsites very closely.

I'm possibly more impressed with the Vita sales than the PS4 ones - that boost is great

700k call of duty boxes seems really really high. thats a 70% attach. what gives? former xbox fans?



Great to see the PS4 in the sales chart, next gen is here. Those Vita numbers though, PS4 effect? Whatever, it lives :)

According to VGChartz, the PS4's weekly sales in NA alone is higher than any weekly sales of the PS3 in its entire lifetime.


These aren't PS4's weekly sales, these are its day 1 sales ;)

It's not like the other Mario & Sonic games scored that highly by reviews either though. 

It just shows the mini-game-a-thon concept has run its course. You can't expect people to keep buying more and more of those when they already had Wii Sports/Resort, Mario & Sonic Beijing, Mario Party 8, Just Dance 202939, Just Dance Kids 20393, Just Dance for Dogs, Wii Fit Plus, etc. sitting at home. 

Nintendo Land not being able to find a big mainstream audience despite it probably being the best of the "mini-game" bunch was a pretty huge tip off. Game & Wario was a full on flop too. 

Ironically the soundtrack for Mario & Sonic Sochii is so great, it might be the first in the series that I buy if I can find it on clearance for cheap a few months down the line. The remixes of a lot of the Mario tracks are incredible.

PLAY NINTENDO. WHY?:
1.) HYPE BASED ON LIES IS NONEXISTENT
2.) YOU DO RECEIVE A BETTER GAME THAN THE TRAILERS RELEASED
3.) NINTENDO MAIN FOCUS IS GAMES

Also if Mario & Sonic Sochii gets grief for bombing, shouldn't Wii Party U also be taking heat? That looks like a bomb too in North America.
