Overraskende at Wii U sælger bedre end PS4 i Japan. Skyldes det at det går skidt for Sony eller godt for Nintendo?

Ja, rent personligt kan jeg også sagtens se hvorfor Wii U endnu er langt mere interessant end konkurrenterne (selvom det helt klart kommer til at skifte til Sony's fordel i 2015), men den generelle konsensus hedder jo at PS4 er "the shit", mens Wii U er en stor fiasko.
Interessant hvis maskinernes omdømme er noget helt andet i Japan. Det er trods alt deres hjemmebane, og derfor stadig rimelig relevant, selvom det er et noget mindre marked. Det er mit indtryk at Nintendo altid har fokuseret mere på det japanske marked end det internationale, hvad enten det er med vilje eller ej.

Der må være nogle ret fede rabatter på 3DS i Japan når den almindelige model kan sælge bedre end New 3DS.

Xbox One - now that's just sad :(

Det ser ikke ud til, at de nogensinde får fat på det marked.
