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.Via Eurogamer
