For the first time since it launched, the Wii U has sold fewer units than the Playstation Vita in Japan's weekly sales figures.
According to a translation by a NeoGAF user, Japanese sales analysts Media Create report that the Vita sold 11,456 units between February 18th and February 24th, while the Wii U came in behind at 9,633.
Note that this is before the Vita price drop has even come into effect. Expect the numbers to be even more skewed next week.
Interestingly, the 3DS is still slaughtering the competition with 74,729 units sold last week.
Naturally this means that we can officially make fun of the WiiU in public, point at it and laugh. After all, PSVita's sales are abysmal and anything that sells less than Sony's new handheld already has one foot in the grave.
Not to mention that those are Media Create statistics - our favourite! They're from Japan - an area which greatly concerns us, mostly western gamers.
Sales charts have always been our favourite pass time here on GBATemp, hence in an effort to reach to a broader audience, I'm posting this thread in the EoF not to cause a flamewar or anything.
