Pikmin > Pikmin 2 > Pikmin 3 in LTD sales when all's said and done IMO.

I dont understand u sometimes Soundwave, u claim to be a big Nintendo fan and post almost exclusively in Nintendo threads, yet im not sure ive ever seen u post anything positive.

According to this site, in USA Wii U has 1/30 the install base of 360, 1/20 of PS3 and 1/7 of 3DS yet was still able to get a game in the top 10 and roughly 10% of Wii U owners have purchased it. There is no way to spin that into bad news regardless of its lifetime sales.

U should have just left ur post as "its decent" because the rest of ur post is just a negative statement in a positive thread that has nothing to do with the OP.


I'm not positive about the Wii U and I make no secret about that (I think it's an incredibly poorly thought out product for today's market), but from what I remember our projections for the console really aren't that far off. You said Nintendo might be able to get to 40 million Wii Us LTD, I think it'll be more like 30 million, maybe a touch less.

Not really a huge difference.

And how does that explain coming into a positive thread about Pikmin 3 sales and posting a negative comment about how it wont match its predeccessors?

U even were able to go into a thread about Xbox sales and write a negstive post about Wii U



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Did I say something untrue or implausible? Someone else started that thread of discussion in the XBox thread, not me.

Seems like it's overtracked by like 50k here on vgchartz. Right? As the 115k numbers include digital which is probably around 15k which put retail sales at around 100k. Vgchartz have the game at 152k.

Fair enough on the Xbox thread.

But whether or not ur prediction about Pikmin 3 sales comes true, it makes u look like a major ass to come into a thread celebrating the first Wii U game this year to reach top 10 in its launch month and spread negativity. I know other people do this all the time but ur better than that and ur stooping to there level by doing it.

All these fake Nintendo fans do that on this site.  You should know by now who they are or what they do. They're on Nintendo threads more than their favorite console...it's quite pathetic really.

I've been playing Nintendo consoles most likely since before you were in diapers.

I paid a legit $90 for Super Mario Bros. 3 when it came out (that's a lot of cutting lawns, by the way) ... which would be something like $5000 today ;).

I noticed this too, it almost seems like a weird fixation...not that hes just a stupid hater , he obviosuly has a WiiU and enjoys Nintendo games...but always count on Soundwave for a negative take on the situation

NPD numbers stopped at August 24. VGChartz is already tracking a week later. So it's more like 40k-45k overtracked.

Good, and well deserved. May well hit 1mil in America alone if the system starts selling.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Another person who thinks that being a fan of Nintendo 25 years ago qualifies them to criticize the company long after they have moved on. 'This doesn't appeal to me any more, so it must be bad. I haven't changed at all in 25 years.'

You're also really bad at inflation. I don't trust people with over 95% error in their mathematical calculations.
