Wii U hasn’t been lighting up the Japanese sales charts, but something about the system’s performance may surprise you. Through their first three weeks of availability, Nintendo’s console has actually outsold the PlayStation 4.

Check out a comparison between the two below:

Wii U

Week 1December 3-9, 2012308,142
Week 2December 10-16, 2012126,916

PS4 supply may be constrained in Japan, though that’s likely not the only reason for lower-than-expected sales. This is also another sign that the impact of consoles continue to decline in the territory. As IGN points out, even the 3DS and PS Vita haven’t reached the same heights as their predecessors.
