Also i think these numbers puts some of the over zealous PS fans in their place regarding the outrageous predictions being made for end of March 2014.


How? Close to 300K with supply issue this week, at this pace 7 million is easy by march.,...Not saying it will, but your post makes no sense. Plsu japan launch is february.

PSP and XB1 are very close in Europe, this is really surprising.


PSP? Are you sure?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

XB1: 45 028

PSP: 41 422



I'm not sure why people seem to think these Wii U sales are terrible... I mean, they're down about 50% over last week which is pretty consistent with every console except the Vita... So I'm not sure what else people were expecting. I think the numbers are fine. They're in line with last year's numbers, but I don't expect numbers to drop as quickly. Week 2 of January will be more telling. If sales drop to below 50K, then things are really bad.

PSP is outselling PSV in Europe, that's depressing.

microsoft really hurt itself, by adding kinect, a weaker console and 100$ more, most early buyers are well informed, they know the ps4 is way more powerful and 100$ cheaper= way better sales, as for wiiu, once japan sales die down its in deep trouble, probably might see a sub 30k npd this year.

I am totally in agreement with you. It's just that some people are very unrealistic and expect miracles. The Wii U is never going to set the world alight so based on what was before and what is now I think it is doing great. 

If it can keep close to the 100k mark for a while that will be an achievement for a console where 25K - 30K was the norm not that long ago.

It's all relative.

so will wii and x fans shit bricks or just quit gaming if or should i say when it does just that.



Cant wait for NPD in 5 days, I dont expect PS4 to be behind the xbone. If it is not, we can probably see adjustments for this week as well right?
