Wii U seem undertracked in Europe, and Smash was nothing.

But i agree for Mario Kart...

That's my point too. If Smash couldn't boost sales, Star Fox and Xenoblade Chronicles X deffinitely can't.

Have still the pricedrop card. :D

Smash didnt even have a bundle anywhere unlike xcx which will be bundled in Japan(at least(probably the west to since all games bundled in Japan that release in the West get bundled).

VGChartz says that PS Vita and PSP have sold only 2.77M in 2014 while Sony is saying PS Vita and PSP shipped 3.5M in 2014. 730k difference? No way, PS Vita must be undertacked! And there are also problems with NPD January 2015 and NPD February 2015. In NPD January 2015 PS Vita sold 39% of 3DS but on VGChartz it only did around 24%. In NPD February 2015 PS Vita sold around 60k but on VGChartz it only sold around 20k. And why is PS Vita selling better in North America than Europe on VGChartz? Europe has countries like Georgia, Italy or Spain where the Vita sells quite good weekly. There is no doubte that Europe must be bigger than North America for PS Vita.

Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Man, Wii U.... It's only up 1k from the matching week last year.

Honestly I think it's gonna end up down YoY. It'll be up in the first half by a little bit, but after June it'll start going down, because it won't have MK8 to tremendously boost sales, and it won't have Smash Bros. either. Not looking good for the Wii U.

Agree with this mostly but Ill wait until we see what dq10 and xcx does in Japan before I make predictions.

I wouldn't count on any noteworthy sales from Japan. It might pull two 20k weeks with DQX and XCX, but it won't change the outcome for the overall year.

XOne above PS4 in the UK is believable, countless retailers said that it was going to be neck-and-neck this year and it is.

Strong Xbox figures worldwide it might break 100k next week! X360 still undertracked, Wii U probably right, PS4 maybe slightly overtracked. 3DS about right and I dunno about Vita.
