Comparing it to a failure platform does little at this time as Vita is on life support as it is.
I was only talking Monster Hunter. It is a good start compared to first year Wii and PS3 software as well.

Expected twice as many units. It's a Nintendo Console in Japan.
Is it possible that 3DS will have a better late-2012 than WiiU?
Hardware looks fine, software not so much.
Since I'm not seeing these numbers on Famitsu site, is Gamekult reliable in events like these?
Nintendo's global sales goal for Wii U was 5.5 million by April right?
So this puts them at about 4.7 mil. left to go including U.S. and UK numbers too.
Well, software sales are significantly better than what Vita launched with so at the very least I don't expect a complete disaster.
Yeah I was gonna say. The PS2 was truly a beast sales-wise. It's saddening to see the PS3 numbers in comparison.
Although perhaps the PS3 only had a few days of sales or something, I'm not sure.
you could have looked at the other nintendo console launches in Japan that were in the OP. No Nintendo console has ever done as well as you were expecting. Plus, Nintendo barely advertised the thing and it has very little games. I'm surprised it sold so wellExpected twice as many units. It's a Nintendo Console in Japan.
Yeah. Nintendo Land is a huge disappointment. Should have legs, but still.
Was the game bundled in Japan, or was it a Wii Sports situation?

Well Vita told us that launch numbers mean shit. Still of course good numbers. Next week is already a lot more telling (Vita took huge dive in its second week)
Sad to see Tekken get short shrift, that game is incredible. Maybe they should have pushed the Mario costume angle harder.
Though I guess its main audience is on PLaystation, and the game is a few months old. But still, definitive version.

Lower launch numbers than the Vita in UK & Japan?
Is that not a bad thing?
No way they reach 5.5 million by April...
For launch, no.

I dunno when in the quarter companies put out revisions but I think it's safe to say we can expect major revised forecasts for the Wii U.Thanks everyone for the bundling answers.
They're also expecting an attach rate of over 4 games per customer.
287kHow must did Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD edition (PS3) sell? Just want to compare.
Your expectation is very reasonable seeing how many Nintendo console have sold more than 615K in Japan.Expected twice as many units. It's a Nintendo Console in Japan.
How was Vita's (JP) launch bad?Why not? Was there some pent-up demand for the Vita?
I feel like the Vita launch was 'bad', and yet this seems to be considered 'good'.
