^^ Perhaps the Wii U section was moved or combined with the 3DS section like others have suggested then. I guess it should be selling enough in November to keep it on shelves

Not so sure in my country, because we don't have a big holiday beside Ramadan. But most of time PS3 and Wii is still big in my country. While most of people who buy current gen console they bought PS4 and handled 3DS and PSP. And This month and December i think in my country it will not have a big impact on South East Asia Market.


Is the PS4 (or X1) a reasonable price where you are?


The current dollar currency is high this time far exceeding when in PS3 times, even the price for PS4 and Xbox One is even more expensive then PS3 in 2007, not even to mention higher tax etc, but as far as i can see PS4 and Xbox One price is still normal compared to Brazil, and PS brand is more popular with Indonesian people.

Indonesia is still big for console sales, but don't expect original games sales, because most of games on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are pirated.

I stopped by a Walmart to check out the $80 2DS. Totally sold out.

But did get one at another Walmart. Looks like they had just got a new shipment in of everything.

There was a mom there who was confused whether she should buy both the Day 0 and regular version of CoD: AW for X1. She *almost* bought both "one for her son, one for her husband"



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

xbox one is still dead in germany. at least software wise.
i know there are great deals for xbox one going on and may but it. u just have to check the most famous deal site here. maybe they all go digital only (like me) because of the cheap us, hk and india store

 

the great ps4 bundles are still more popular

Went to WalMart yesterday and the only console I saw was the PS3 Destiny bundle. Everything thing else was gone.

Stack of TLoU PS4 bundles empty at local BB, Xbox plenty COD Sunset bundles. PS4 being push hardest, most space even COD spot was mostly PS4. Gamsstore plenty bundles of all kind.

^^^ Shame about what seems to be happening to Wii U shelf space already

Went to a store in the capital ~500k metro. Was Xbox One marketing pointed outwards, and PS4 inwards. They had about equal shelf space and consoles. Half the store was 360 though. Did not have a niche game that I wanted.

Went to a local store in my small town to check for that niche game (or just order it). PS4 was closer to the door. Had about 10 PS4s (3 used), 2 XB1s. Had my niche game on the shelf...
