Thought WiiU would be a bit better than that in Europe...I think the ads are the issue. I see far more Wii ads than WiiU even.

Vita is rather poor, though.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

With these numbers the Wii U has sold 1.8 million worldwide so far.

The 3DS is going to make an YoY over last year, as some people didn't expect it to.

Nice sales for Paper Mario

so anyone still think nintendo will hit their 5.5M march forcast?

 

also, fuck at 3DS sales.  outperformed my forcast by like 35k.   ...it looks like i'm going to lose my bet with POE.


If the Wii U sells like 500k + 500k + 200k it will be at 3m at the end of the year. If we assume 500k sales per month for the remainder of the fiscal year (roughly 100k units per week) that would add another 1.5m which would put it at 4.5 million units sold to customers - if Nintendo tries to stuff the channel a bit 5.5m shipped at the end of march wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. The next two weeks will be telling.

Edit: And just to be clear: I don't expect them to meet the forecast. I wouldn't take a bet though.

USA only, Wii U passed Wii.

 


As I said, WiiU does OK in most regions, but can you do the same graph for Europe? In numbers it looks horrible.

I've done some calculations and it looks like Halo 4 will sell ~540k worldwide this week... 140k more than I predicted here!

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=149534

Pretty unbelievable! It'll be at about 6,450,000 copies sold with 3 weeks of sales left until the end of the year!

7.4m+ in 2012 seems inevitable

I think it will be less since not every country has those deals USA has and don't forget that we seem to overtrack Halo 4 here at least for UK. Media Control released the Halo 4 numbers of one of the last weeks and it was overtracked here by 15% or something and the weeks after have been also overtracked.

It'll still sell over 500k WW this week. Last week it sold 185k in non-US countries. If it sells that this week that'll put it at over 510k WW this week. However, sales should increase in non-US territories to at least 200k, which will put Halo 4 at 524,333+ copies WW this week.

yeah ok, just saying it could be overtracked by some units at least in uk or europe (and i have no clue about the first weeks in uk, just since they released the weekly number once). and your numbers could be still correct for vgc since it seems as if they won't change the halo 4 numbers now because of media control numbers from some weeks ago.

and nothing against halo, i love halo^^

your off on your number of week left in the year.  wiiU could do 500k next week (week ending in dec 22nd) then 200k (week ending in dec 29th, post western holidays but japan remains high). then we're post holidays and sales will be low for everyone.   so like 2.5M end of year sell though?  add 1M on shelves (stores will only let you stuff so much).   so wiiU will need about 1.5-2M sell though in jan/feb/march?  something like that?

It's not "OK" to pass the Wii, that's an understatement. And yes, in europe Wii U doesn't look good right now, but it's also not too far away from the pack.

 



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
