Gamestop.com availability:

http://www.gamestop.com/browse/consoles?nav=16k-wii+u,13ffff2412

If gamestop truly has a backlog, why not ship consoles available online to stores?

Because most people want the deluxe and as you can see in the link you provided it's still backordered.

Bad numbers. Especially 3DS.

Black Friday week 2011: 495,944
Black Friday week 2012: 250,000

OUCH.

Oh and the DS sold 275k. I can't help but think there is consumer confusion out there.

Wii U sales are DECENT. Not surprising it didn't match Wii sales. Next week it should have a sharp drop. These week 1 sales have months and months of pre-orders. So from 400k, I expect next week sales to be about 200k. Give or take.


says the boy who worships the Playstation brand!!!  I wonder how your Vita sales are gonna be?

Moderated,

Nope.

The NPD tracks always util the last saturday of the month...  for November it is 4 weeks.

NPD Nov 2012:  28th Oct to 24th Nov
NPD Nov 2006: 29th Oct to 25th Nov

So 8 days for each console.

PS. The NPD December is 5 weeks... so 29th Nov to 30th Dec this year.

Edit - I just checked the GAF to know if I give you the right date...

NPD Coverage: September 30-October 27 (4 weeks, September was 5 weeks)

So the NPD October ends in 27th... 28th is already November plus 4 weeks... so 24th is the end of NPD November.

So the dates I give you is right.

So even wrong I'm right

(lol, kidding, thanks for the explanation, news to me)

Hummmm... if Vita sold more than 250k I think VGC will explode with threads lol.

I think that's possible with the $179 Vita bunble sold out in every place.

I've been to 10 of my local stores and absolutly everything WiiU related is sold out! (uk)

Lets wait and see how the next few weeks go for the Wii U. But the Wii U only selling 100k more than the wii last week is concerning seen as the wii is 6 years old.

I hope...my brother bought the damn thing and I keep telling him that if sales don't improve by this Christmas holiday it'll be a huge paper weight.  This holiday will determine whether third party support will be there in the future!!!

Definitely possible. I bought one on Amazon; the deal was just too good to pass up, even if the software library isn't robust.

But I want to reiterate -- and this isn't directed at you ethomaz -- that 3DS is going to be just fine. I think everyone is making too big a deal out of one week.
