Laziest sales thread ever? I'm off to GAF.



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.

PS3 = 22.991
WiiU + Wii = 22.588

Just for reference, this Wii U number is lower than the PS3 did it's first January during these same weeks (Jan 2007), so the Wii U is starting to develop a disturbing trend of posting sub-PS3 numbers when it was that ridiculous launch price still in 2006/07.

Lower first December than the PS3 in North America too in NPD. That's not a good sign.

Wii of course was still hot selling 90k+ this week in 2007 in Japan.


Is that true? Ouch.

My prediction is going way better than even I expected. I expected WiiU to at least keep its lead in Japan for a few more weeks, but nope.

Well, you predicted the sales to be 50% of PS3. Not less than 50%. If they turn out to be 30%, you'd still be wrong, because it's irrelevant if WiiU sells over or under that 50%, they both won't be 50%.

Wii U is the new Vita.

But Nintendo stills has Zelda, Pokemon and Mario to work this on.


Vita is kinda weird, they showed their hand and they turned out to be bad games. Nintendo is being super-secretive right now and I'm not sure that's helping. This might be the 1st Nintendo console to have a game not worth buying near launch.

NES-Duck Hunt, SMB SNES-SMW N64-SM64 GC-Melee Wii-Wii Sports WiiU-Random 720p 2D mario released in the same year as NSMB2. Nintendo Land is fun for a while but it gets old quicker than Wii Sports if you've ever played a good Mario Party.

 

Vita games are bad??? WTF??? What the hell makes you say they're bad?? WHAT game have you played???

Damn you internet connection!!!

OT:
Oh my Wii-U. That is a a very sad numbers.

Vita same as always. Almost selling below 10K again. Horrible! Sony really needs THE games.

3DS is a monster. MH, DQ and Pokemon in this year. Crazy!

Home console sales seem so pour in Japan. It's safe to say that Japanese market is all about portable games nowadays.

Consoles desperately need a hit like FFVII was back in the 1990s to change their fortunes.

That's incredibily scary since it's twice as cheaper as the PS3 was.

Wiita U.

I remember people complaining (and they were right in doing so) that Sony used to announce games that were still years away from launch (guess you can include SquareEnix too), but this Nintendo policy of only revealing titles a few months before release, is just as damaging, if not more.
