Yahoo! headline: PS Vita is now crushing Nintendo's Wii U
Coming from the Yahoo article...
During the week ending in June 30, Sony’s portable console found the third biggest smash of its life cycle so far as “Toukiden” sales for the PS Vita hit 127,000 in its first week of availability. According to Famitsu, this lifted Vita’s weekly hardware sales to 34,000 from 14,000 in the previous week. ...Meanwhile, Wii U is wilting in the heat of the media hype now surrounding the upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launches. In the latest weekly tracking data, Wii U sales clocked in at 5,800 in Japan. This is barely 5% of Japan’s total console sales, even though PlayStation 3 sales are now weak as consumers have started anticipating its successor.
The Vita is certainly doing better in this instance, but I wouldn't go throwing around terms like 'smash' in terms of success. Both systems need help, but this week shows that the Wii U needs a bit more.
