Looks like Wii U numbers are going to be around 50,000 on weeks they don't have anything big released in the time frame. Which is not terrible but not great. Vita in the USA wow, no wonder theirs never any games in stores, it's plain dead. Maybe with a little marketing and games it could recover. But it's strong in Japan and decent in Europe. Xbone, Europe is starting to become very concerning for them. Especially since it appear demand has been meet in the USA since most stores have the shelves packed with them. PS4, seems a little low but probably just the shortage is keeping it down. and finally the the 3DS takes it place at number one again.

We will see.  Nintendo games have that compounding effect.  Last year an average week was 25k - 33k.   Now it looks like 45 - 50k and almost all of that has to do with SM3DW.   Once DK comes out an average week will probebly be  60 - 65k.   There really was never one game that made the 3DS just take off, it was just a bunch of games in a row that kept the momentum going.   



MS has the stock for X1, so why not release in more countries!?!? Hade the been available in some 40+ countries now, they would probably pull equal numbers to PS4, although those numbers in themselves aren´t very impressive considering the launch.

Some people called be a big Nintendo Fanboy, but now I have no doubt in my mind that the Wii U will be outselling the Xbox One once Donkey Kong comes out. 35k is nothing, especially when a game is coming out that always sells atleast 5 million copies. Microsoft better pray to the gods that Titanfall will be a massive hit, because if its not, not only will Sony have already left them in the dust, but Nintendo will as well once Mario Kart comes out.

The Vita is the U.S. is what would have happened to the PS3/PS4 if it didn't have Call of Duty, Battlefield, and GTA. The Vita has everything the PS3 had in terms of 1st party titles and plenty of 3rd party titles....it sells 4,700 per week. If the 3DS didn't have Pokemon,Mario Kart,Zelda,and SM3DL, it would be selling crappy too.

Umm you might be confusing the Vita with another system. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

They thought demand in the US would be a lot greater than it is. At least that's why I think they chose to launch in only 13 countries.

It seems that the 360 is starting to die off.

Vita has Uncharted,Killzone,Little Big Planet, God of War,Hot Shots Golf, and Resistance.  The only big 1st party Sony franchise it is missing is Gran Turismo, and from the looks of the GT6 sales, it really would'nt matter anyways.   On top of that the thing has more big 3rd party franchises then the 3DS.  Metal Gear, Assassin's Creed, 1 COD, Better FIFA,Mortal Kombat, Need for Speed,Marvel vs. Capcom, and a bunch of others.   The only big difference is that the PS3/PS4 has the Call of Duty Games (not some dumbed down version),  Grand Theft Auto, and Battlefield.     Go put GTA, BF4, and Ghosts on Vita, and it would be selling atleast 30k in the U.S. every week.

You are right, but it just seems like such a dumb-ass strategy when they have supply for the rest of the world aswell (my guess :)).
