Sony has finally got around to announcing how many PlayStation 3 consoles and Playstation Vita systems it shifted during Black Friday week. Both Microsoft and Nintendo gave their numbers earlier this week, with the Xbox 360 selling 750,000 units and Wii U selling 400,000 units. Here’s the total figures from each console manufacturer.
- Xbox 360: 750,000
- PlayStation 3: 525,000
- Wii U: 400,000
- Wii: 300,000
- Nintendo DS: 275,000
- Nintendo 3DS: 250,000
- PlayStation Vita: 160,000

DS out sells 3DS? Ohh theres gonna be some disappointed faces at Christmas!

only in the us though, globally the 3ds sold a lot more than the ds did but yeah many american children will be dissapointed by not getting the 3ds :P hopefully they’ll get a ds lite so they can play gba games which the 3ds games cannot because its the only thing any of the ds’ has the the 3ds hasnt
LikeLike
It’s unlikely kids will want to play GBA games. They may not even know what they are. Since they aren’t sold anymore, I doubt casual gamers would be interested in getting old games.

it because third parties aren’t localizing their games

considering 400,000 is practically all that was shipped, the wii u did well.

That’s a lie. ALOT of stores still have plenty of stock.
People just buy what’s cheaper (as seen with the 3DS and the DS)

BASIC models still have a few units left on the shelves, but who cares about basic units? Premium Wii U bundles are sold out everywhere.

Nope, i saw 2 deluxes at gamestop during blackfriday, and the guys at Screwattak, RoosterTeeth, and IGN also reported seeing them in stock.
Stop making excuses

Only two ? Well.. that´s really a BIG stock, isn´t it ? If you go there right now, would you find them ? Stop trying to be smart.

thats the reason why the wiiU didnt sold
X360 was cheaper due to BF sale, while WiiU price was unchanged

Premium Packs are sold out. Only a few shops still have the basic pack. Don´t try to be smart here.

For the Vita this was actually pretty good numbers :S

All in all, all the systems did great in terms of sales. And the DS is more cheaper than the 3DS so you can see why it outsold the 3DS, despite the 3DS being backwards compatible with almost all the DS games. And I say almost because the Guitar Hero game wont work on the 3DS.

I feel sorry for the kids who asked for 3DS’ on Christmas and they end up getting a DS. Stupid parents..

Looks good for the WiiU IMHO. The 360 and PS3 are established systems, with huge ecosystems and 7 years of momentum. The WiiU is a new system, in a launch window, twice as expensive as the competition, and they shipped almost half of what the current gen systems did. Not shabby!

Because in this world, people are allowed to buy what they want with there own money. And are you saying they aren’t true gamers because they bought something other than NIntendo? Even though most could already have Nintendo products?

These are some pretty good sales figures. Nintendo’s definetly gaining some ground. Nintendo has sold 1.2 million units for all of their systems combined, compared to MS’s 750 thousand units, and Sony’s 685 thousand combined units. Healthy competition between the 3 gaming tycoons.

Gotta be disappointing that the Xbox sold more. Don’t get me wrong, I respect Xbox but I don’t think is as fabulous as people said. Another thing to point out is that the Vita is not selling well which is a shame. At least Wii U is selling well.

I with people would stop buying the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. If sales slump than maybe the nex generation of the comnsoles would come out faster. wjhy would a company release a new console whe the current one is still selling great. I want the new generation consoles now. The graphics in the current ones are outdated.
