Following its mid-December debut in which it sold over 321,000 units (later reported to be closer to 325,000), the system has not continued to enjoy the same degree of sales success.
In its second week, the system sold 72,479 units (compared with 101,121 PlayStation Portable units and 482,200 3DS units), and now in its third week, covering December 26 through January 1, the system sold just 42,648, again trailing the PSP at 62,746 and 3DS at 197,952. These numbers come courtesy of Media Create, as reported by Andriasang, and paint a somewhat ominous picture for the system in its early days.
