Both are in a runt.  And need a rebound.

But the Wii U has already done more than half of the Vita's numbers in less than 6 months, and is outselling it on a weekly basis (tho small).

Which is sad in both cases really. : /

this is what the wii u sold 6 months in

32,115

this is what the vita sold 6 months in

75,295

Where?  And what time frame?

 

sorry 5 months

Going by one week of sales after 6 months of release isn't the best method of determining sales.....

why not :P

It's about multiple data points over time, not one single event.

According to VGC:

Vita in its 5th month (April 2012): 207.880
WiiU in its 5th month (March 2013): 207.861

There you go guys, Vita wins by 19 units! Fucking impressive.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Wow, this is big news.

Am I mistaken, or is this the first time Madden isn´t released on a Nintendo console?



This thread is already making my head hurt. You can't write off the Wii U yet, because as we saw with the 3DS, Nintendo can allow it to bounce back. And it's not the same time as the N64 and GCN days now, everyone knows Mario and the such like. They sell by the bucketload regardless of what system they're on.

But this isn't what the thread was about. So all I'll say on that regard is it would just be better for EA to be honest with Nintendo really, but when the next-gen versions of Madden, FIFA etc. sell around 200-300k maximum, what will they say then?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm surprised they're not at least doing a roster update..



I was going to say maybe EA is planning a spin-off Madden title that takes advantage of Wii U's unique hardware, but I realized mid-thought how insane that sounds.

Isn't this unprecedented? Didn't Wii U and Wii just get Madden 13? Surely the profits from Wii U sales would cover the porting cost.



Ouch ! That was really, really dissapointing EA

If they cancelled Fifa I wouldn´t mind, since I don´t like soccer (football), but cancelling Madden is sort of lame.



well the strong partnership is clear lol

Both are struggling. So what´s the point here ?

Ah.. I understand.... just another try to transform this thread into anotheer fanboy war.
