Now lets see whether wiiu can surpass ps3 soon. Ps3 has a decent lineup coming up, while wiiu has few.
And 3ds figures are impressive as always.

AC must be nearing 3 million sold with downloads included? Very impressive considering it only came out in November.
I feel WiiU is gonna need a price cut this year…

@3,
Yeah, still has a bit of ways to go, but it will reach there. Last I heard download figures were at 500k.

“Now lets see whether wiiu can surpass ps3 soon.”
Wii-U has been ahead since launch on weekly sale, this is the first week it’s dipped below PS3. Not sure what you mean by surpass. Do you mean get ahead again on a weekly basis or sell more in total?
