All hardware except PS3 and Xbox One are up year over year. Good job, Japan.
You can not compare a rock to a diamond bc the new 3DS XL is waaaayyyy better than a Wii U. :)
By light years. lol
*nods* Very true.
Also, I am pleased as punch to see the Vita up there! I love my vita!
whats a vita?
A Vita is basically an anime game machine.
Nothing more.
More like a watered down PS3 Go with BS priced memory cards and virtually 98% of PS3 ports.
A Playstation Vita? It’s a console..
Is it? Or is it a failed PSP 2 with almost nothing original and has ridiculous ass memory card pricing.
The memory cards cost an arm and a leg true but I still love my vita. :) I have my music on it as well. It’s nothing like the PS 2.
And don’t forget it costs a brain for it too.
So… I guess things are just about back to normal?
After next week it will be normal. There is a holiday on this week for japan. It was Monday I believe.
After this week I meant.

Well, looks like the Wii U sales are going back down again. And sadly, they’ll probably eventually go back down to 7k or 9k (or lower). At least until Zelda Wii U comes out. Why do I never see these sort of sales charts for North America? If I do, then I can’t remember.
Remember when that dead console outsold PS4 in that one and only week? Not anymore. XP
