Hardware sales unfolded like this, with the Wii-U presumably getting a bump from Dragon Quest, Xenoblade X and holiday timing:
3DS – 26,976
Wii U – 21,016
PS4 – 20,668
Vita – 15,613
PS3 – 4,203
X1 – 197
Next week’s figures will include the brunt of Golden Week, as this only contains the first holiday and lead-up weekend. May 4 – 6 were national holidays as well, so they presumably brought sales increases over the average weeks. Whether or not they also brought an increase over the usual Golden Week remains to be seen.
