Not surprising at all, yet it needs to be said on this forum. I'm still shocked by the size the "Software won't push Hardware" thread got, although I didn't even waste a single second on it. How many posts did actually support the premise of the thread?


This is the truth. How many people buy a PC without getting an OS for it? Guess they just want the hardware, so they can look at a black screen. =D

I am waiting to see the sales numbers. I am sure they are going to be great!

under 60k isnt anemic. thats still terrible as well as you are over looking the price cuts and the following sales drop

That explains why people are celebrating Vita selling even less than that in a week after price cuts despite being on the market for well over a year.

1 this thread isnt about vita

2 the vita sold 82k which is more than 60k

3 vitas price drop was in the smallest market

4 the vitas sales are still terrible

5 reported for off  topic trolling

Oh really? I remember your posts in a thread about the WiiU initially outselling PS3 and XBox 360. Your posts were off-topic and tried to spin it into negativity. Interesting. Now I know what to do with your posts the next time. Thanks for the hint.

Amazing thing it is to have content available. Where would iPod be without iTunes? Dead years ago.

By the end of this year, WiiU will be selling fine and around 10m sold. More than PS360's first year.

You contradict your statement by saying year end then first year. Wii U will not be anywhere close to 10mil at it's 1st year aniversary. And the Ps3 had over 10mil shipped at the end of 2007. The Wii U shipped 3.02m so far and since that figure was released has significantly dropped behind the Ps3's numbers... So unless you are expecting an unprecedent 4th quarter comeback for any system then the Wii U will fall short of 10mil sold. It will probably be under Ps3's numbers of about 9mil in my opinion.

Oh, why do you talk about PS3? The thread is about how games improved sales of the WiiU.

Hmm, probably I should take your hint from before, what to do in this case, what do you think?

Another thread where no one cares about mentioning The Walking Dead :P

LOL

It sold better than NFS to my surprise. And I see talk about it at the Miiverse. But it doesn't make it to the WaraWara-Lobby as MH3U, Lego City and NFS do. So people bought lesser copies of NFS, but talk about it more on Miiverse.

I'm sorry if you can not tell the difference between the two statements but you are completely wrong.

I think something's up with those NFS numbers, and I'm not just suggesting that everybody bought it on Origin or eShop. Apparently the PS3 version — and only the PS3 version — charted this week. How does that make any sense?

I doubt it did especially well, but I suspect the Wii U sales got lumped in with the PS3 units somehow.
