It's not huge though is it?? It puts its on par with PS360, and that's if the VGC figures were spot on anyway, from data we've had in the past we've seen WiiU has been overtrakced in the UK. |
I took a random week (24th august 2013) to see how much ps360 were averaging there (because at the moment, their numbers are being boosted by gtaV), and the ps3 was at 5800 and 360 at 7500, so yes, it is indeed a great boost. It puts it above the average of the 2 best selling consoles there. I can't see how this is not impressive, it is the equivalent of if the pricecut/windwaker bundle boosted US sales from 9k to 50k.

2 consoles that have been out for 8 years and sales that are dwindling, they should not hold as a comparison for what good WiiU sales are.
A) These seem great because of how bad WiiU was doing before, but if you put them into context, they're not!
When PS3 got its first big game or price cut it got a huge frigging boost. When 360 slim released, 5 years after the 360 launched I might add, sales topped 100,000 for the week. These are huge boosts. I don't see how 5 - 9k is fantastic news.

A) Exactly, if a console goes from selling beyond horrible to good numbers (above all consoles), then we can say an HD remake had an excellent effect.
B) You are seriously comparing a 1 year old console to a system that was 5 years old? Your comparison there is beyond pointless and meaningless. A more revelant comparison would be comparing xbox360's first year, not it's 5th year. Also, you are comparing a console redesign with a new bundle of an hd remake. As for the ps3 comparison, again, irrevelant and pointless. Windwaker HD is a remake, not a *big game*.
