Thanks for this! Was wondering how SRW would stack up against the other entries. It would seem as though, not that great. But certainly not terrible, considering other performances this week.

And even Wii U is 40% down compared to last week...

How many times are u going to bring up NSMBU "failing"? That plus Nintendo Land were the only high quality 1st party games for 8 months, they sold the console well at launch but had nothing to follow it up. U act like 3D World is the only big title this holiday. Its 3D World/DKC/Wind Waker/Wii Fit/Wii Party, together they can sell quite a few consoles.

It has managed to be on 4 different consoles in 3 different releases; and never on the same console between two releases.  I don't really know what Bamco were thinking of really.  Should've stuck on DS on the beginning and migrated to 3DS eventually.

Moving to PSP in 2012 makes no sense to me, if they wanted to make a series out of it.

Yeah, Nintendo didn't invest in the "Hardcore" market, they attempted to pull off another Wii or the standard Nintendo portable strategy of a decently powered but not expensive to make system. I mean look at the software aside from Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2 and X what exactly seems to indicate they are aiming toward competing against the likes of Halo, Call of Duty or anything? The fact that the system is strong enough to handle 3rd party multiplatformer?

Nintendo's problem is they short changed the system in a number of ways and got caught flat footed with poor marketing , not having software or promised features ready at launch to make people care about the Wii U. Failure clearly lies with the hardware division and marketing maybe the executives that probably came up with the budget for the internal specs but nothing about the Wii U is anyless casual then the Wii save Nintendo being unable to replicate the success.

Wow, a horrible week, at least not every software is on 3DS on the list ;-P

Way bigger plummet for Vita than I have been expecting :-/ although the tracker discrepancy is quite significant.

Everything is down, that's what's happens after the holidays. Vita is also down  about the same percentage

The Vita performing so badly with two titles in the top 5 is kind of depressing. I know neither one is a system seller by any means, but still, that's not a positive.

I would love to know what happened to W101. I don't understand at all. Looking at Pikmin's numbers, it's clear that Wii U owners just aren't buying W101. Why? Lack of advertising support? Bad word of mouth? Too much emphasis on story for a Nintendo game? Are current Wii U owners only interested in established Nintendo IP?

It kind of gives me the impression that the Wii U is tucked behind the PS3 and 3DS charging cradle and only pulled out for well-known IP.

Yeah, seems like there's not a lot of formity in that series. A shame, because it looks pretty good.

Would it have been smarter to release W101 last week during the holiday?
