3DS owning everything on sight. Whats up with those Vita numbers ? Even the "doomed" Wii U in a single region (America) is enough to outsell its worldwide numbers. Doesn't looks good for Sony's portable platform.

The bigger problem for Sony is that Wii U outsold Vita in Japan. We're talking about a country that is handheld-crazy, and that saw PSP sell nearly 20 million units in its life. 3DS current holds nearly 87% of the handheld market, and over 88% of the handheld software market. Sony really does need to do something - hopefully, they have something big lined up for Japan. One would hope that the PSV's performance is the reason why Sony has held off on launching the PS4 in Japan - to give them time to reinforce their handheld division in the region. The alternative is that they've written off Japan, which would be unfortunate.

Meanwhile, Nintendo is probably rather pleased with Wii U sales in Japan, nowadays. It's now well ahead of PS3 routinely (this began very late in October, I believe some new bundles were released along with Wii Party U), and while it's performing nowhere near as well as the 3DS, it's selling very well. And at the current sales rate, if it can maintain it for the next year, it'll sell nearly 1.5 million units in the year - and that's assuming no sales spikes along the way.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Amazing sales for Sonys two home consoles. First and second worldwide.

Great to see that. I didn't expect PS3 doing so great on a BF week.

Can't wait to see the next few weeks for dat PS4... hope the supply problem fixed..

PS4 in NA is pretty low....is this really just supply issues?

How do we even go about confirming that?

Carl was 100% right with hes prediction. Well done!

Try to find a PS4 at any online retailer. If you do find some, wait 10 minutes and see if they're still in stock. 

I'll pay you $2000 if you can find a PS4 in a store!


I found one! in fact, where I live my gamestop is the flagship gamestop of Canada so we've always had stock of both X1 and PS4 LOL 



Vgcahrtz can sometimes be a bit confusing with the way they display their numbers.

3ds in beast mode, PS4 45k short of another million sold per week.



Is there supply problem about One too ? I find hard to believe 360 is above in US...

I say 3ds is mega over tracked

Yep. Those figures definitely don't feel right.

UK clearly doesn't care about Nintendo anymore.

Also, PS4 is undertracked in the US : Sony shipment figures suggest that there were 300K for Black Friday.

Every NPD indicates VGC undertracks for 3DS while ps3/wiiu/x360 are usually overtracked (especially x360). Its not that hard to believe 3DS sales are that high, pokemon 2DS Zelda, low prices, best deals. If its overtracked, it wont be by much.

Also yes we know UK Dont care about WiiU but they obviously care for Nintendo, looking at how 3DS+2DS is doing well there. Definetly not overtracked by alot and vgc just adjusted 3DS numbers in europe since it was believed to be way undertracked!

 

Edit: Ironically the only systems that will be up YoY is Both Nintendo Systems (WiiU+3DS) since X1+PS4 just released and Wii/DS/PS3/X360/PSP/PSV o.O

They might be indifferent to the wii u but certainly not the 2ds/3ds. Selling very well over here now that shops have started to drop the ds.
