It's almost like a strong forecast with a steady release of new titles makes a difference in hardware sold.

Back to the depths from which you came, Wii U!
*hugs Wii U*
Imo Smash Bros will move more consoles than MK8.

the only reason this happens is because the bar for VITA was set so low in 2012.
Take VITA TV with it too!

Vita might get a PSP or PS3 like turnaround if it can hold 15-20k for a few months yet.
I don't think the 3DS is going to make it past 20m this year, but probably the next year.
WiiU is kinda fucked.

I don't know if it still can wake up next Christmas.
Speaking of trends
Do you think Knack (Runner up Game of the 2013/ Platformer of the year 2013) will also outsell SM3DW in Japan as it did in the UK?

It's going to be on 3DS, as well.

Smash being on 3DS muddies those waters.
Well I also think the WiiU version will sell more lol.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
In retrospect, I also notice some users go something like this "oh you laugh at the Wii U numbers? Then lol Vita... And look how awesome the 3DS is... Did I mention how kingly the 3DS is?"
I don't post much in Media Create, but that's what I just observered though.
Sure the Vita numbers aren't really high but it had a decent turnaround after the price drop.

Good bye Wii U.
/pours one

That would be hilarious... but I hope not: SM3DW is a pretty amazing looking game.

Nintendo showed they can save a handheld, I have never seen them save a home console they make too many mistakes with home hardware and once the negativity had been out there about this platform a great game like 3D World has less of a chance salvaging it
I just want this thing to stay alive long enough for X
I don't put my faith in Wii U Zelda not having SS type controls which is a turn off
Bayo 2, MK8, X that is really I am looking forward to wish one of them came out this month lol
2014 Vita is up on 2013 Vita. 2013 Vita was up on 2012 Vita. 2012 Vita was up on 2011 Vita.
Meanwhile, 'other' systems are sliding slowly toward the grave.
I think there's a chance that Knack (Runner up Game of the 2013/ Platformer of the year 2013) might indeed, as I believe it's bundled with the PS4.

LOL this is so perfect XD
I wonder what is happening in the japanese market.
Consoles aren't selling.
3DS is far below the DS and is going down fast
Vita is not even comparable to the Psp.
Current gen home consoles are mostly done.
Wii U is doing terribad.
Will they switch back to home gaming buying a lot of Ps4?
or has the market shrunk by a very large percentage?
Are the japanese switching to mobile games?(this would explain the stragies of SE, capcom etc..)

In North America? Maybe. In Japan? Almost zero chance of that happening.
I have mixed feelings about Wii U failing like that all over the world. I'm sad, because i always liked Nintendo and their games, but i'm also happy because maybe that will open Nintendo's eyes, so they start looking at competition, see what they do, and try to improve on that, instead of living in their own little world.
Yeah, at this point I don't think there's any point in contending the notion that Wii U is going to be last place in the race. The bigger question is whether or not it can at least salvage itself and maintain decent numbers. Mario Kart 8 still has a chance to do that but it's probably the last shot Nintendo has at using a best-selling franchise. Luckily it's probably their most successful mascot-driven one, but it really should have been a Christmas game. It's likely too little, too late.
Vita beast mode continues.

Vita has been outselling Wii U for the majority of the time it's been out so you are seeing things or conflating different sales threads.

Looks like Vita will be okay in Japan.
I wonder what RemoetPlay will do for the Vita in Japan.
Wasn't some Sony dude saying that the Ps4 launch bumped the Vita sales in the west?
Looks like 3DS peaked already. I wonder what Nintendo will do about it since the 3DS is their only remaining source of profit.

It will also be interesting to see how PS4 will affect Vita sales in Japan. Not expecting much, but it will be interesting anyway Well, the numbers are better than those <15 weeks. If it can stay this way, I would definitely call it a "hanging in there".

Code:
3DS # | 60.154 | 176.555 | 92.661 | 236.709 | 371.920 | 14.898.629Good start for the Vita, it has outperformed last years in the same time period by 63k.
Next week will be interesting for whether the Vita stays over 30k or not.

Well I'd say if Sony can drop price again this year to 16k Yens then Vita has good chance of getting good part of marketshare this year as it finally can show good library of titles.
I believe we might see their next handheld very soon, maybe even holiday 2014. They already released nearly all of their heavy hitters on 3DS. Coupled with a 9900 yen 2DS it will have some legs though.
The only platform that brings joy and life to the world. Shine on, you wonderful bastard. Shine on.
