So...a 875% increase in sales WW would mean Wii U will sell around 200k next week!

Wii U is saved!

...

...or not...but a promising sign no less. I'm more intrigued by the Earthbound thing.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

This doesn't really make much sense as this is a completely different platform aimed at a completely different audience. Are we sure there were no price promotions?

Yes. As it turns out, the WiiU is aimed at gamers while the XBone is aimed at NFL fans.

There are many different types of gamers and the ones that would game on a Wii U or XBox are completely different.

Are you implying that old "hardcore x casual" thing ? With the rise of tablets and smartphones, probably there´s not a "casual" audience for consoles anymore. Besides, the market is shrinking year after year and consoles are again niche.

We cannot be sure about those divisions anymore. Remember that the Xbox has the kinect so a portion of the so-called "casual" market is interested on it, and that many older and experienced gamers actually prefer the WiiU for the nostalgia factor. Both are bought my fans of videogames.

I'm more intrigued by the Earthbound thing.

I'm guessing ur referring to that odd listing on amazon, and not the VC rerelease. Could it, potentialy, possibly, be the retro game? Like the small chance that it is excites me. After all, i remember a guy at retro saying that it was "something everybody wants them to do". Sounds like earthbound to me.

Plus nintendo have have a habit of releasing VC games right before they release a rehash of a major franchise, like kid icarus.
