So far in the USA, WiiU's hardware numbers stand at 705,455.  That's because the sales this week are up by 17%.  That makes it just about 23k shy of Wii's third week total.  So this is good news for the system.  The more units it sells, the better chances for third party support get.

well WiiU is going to be a beast this christmast.


And if the games continue to sell with them, then the user base can only get better.  ZOMBIU has cleared about 250k so far and based on word of mouth, it could continue to do so.

awesome, i'm going to buy my  WiiU tomorrow with ninja gaiden 3 razor edge, some critic to that game? is it good or do you recomend me a different one?

Unfortunately I am not the best person to answer that question as I don't have one myself (I'm getting mine on Dec 25th).  But from the looks of it I'd say that yes, Ninja Gaiden 3 IS worth checking out on WiiU; a lot better than the much maligned XBox360/PS3 version.  So yeah, go ahead.

thanks Jturner. :)

I read that the controls don't work well and the game isn't very good:

I think New Super Mario Bros. U, Mass Effect 3, Assassin's Creed 3, Batman Armored Edition are better games.  Trine 2 Director's Cut is also cool if you like that sort of gameplay.



And Wii U hardware down 54% in UK for 8th of December. But that's about right seen as it launched the week before. Not sure what the Wii's second week drop was.

gamespot isn't exactly good when it comes to good reviewers.

I say go read a few reviews. The game is not perfect by any means, but it is easily 3x better than the original efforts of team ninja on 360/ps3. Hence why they doing another version ofit onthose systems too.

If you are a ninja gaiden fan than you will enjoy this version on wiiu. If you just looking for a mature game it probably isn't the best to pickup first.



 

 

This is exactly what I like to hear!!

And ZombiU 250k, new IP, new console... That's impressive.



Good news for Nintendo. ZombiU seems to be selling pretty well too.

Good news, and more interestingly is that while the hardware sales has gone up that 17%, the software has risen a 33%. People are buying games.
