ps3 gamers didn't mind doing the bolded. people will buy the game for the console they own.

and you people should make some new fallacies because this one is old.


ps3 gamers didnt mind b/c as you say they'll buy the game for the console they own, if you bolded a few words more from biglittle's post you'll see that "almost 80% of the people who buy Wii U will get either PS4/Xbone' the key word being either if you have either a ps4 or XB1 and wiu the ps4 or XB1 version of the said MP SW will be purchased for either ps4 or XB1 for the majority if not all PS4/Xb1 and WiiU owners

 

 

OT sales will most likely keep slowly increasing from here on out do to the season and SW releases but 8k in UK and < 100k WW for this time isnt noteworthy or a sign of great things to come

80% wii u owners buying another platform? <100k? numbers pulled out of nowhere all over the place.

i dont agree with the 80% but in biglittle's post as awhole and the message hes putting out regardless of what the % is Wii U will continue to struggle to get 3rd party games, and wiiu and ps4/xb1 owners will more than likely not buy 3rd party sw for wiiu thats is also on PS4 and xb1

yes i believe vgcs final data for week ending 10/7/13 wiiu will be below 100k globally even with this news

even if that was true (it's not) a huge chunk of wii u owners would need another console for it to be a relevant information.

I am happy with that... bundles and the new UK Nintendo store should help.. it is getting really hard to buy a game - no real games store about - superstores just stock the great games and nothing else - London central - Oxford street is so depressing. The two biggest stores are for used games.



Switch!!!

So basically it went from dead to half-dead.

But if a weak game like WW HD could bring such a change, then I suppose it gives hope that an actual worthwhile release could make an even bigger change.



I LOVE ICELAND!

it's numbers are higher than 3ds, ps3 and 360 regular uk weeks, that's hardly "half-dead".

So you're telling me that during the 1st price cut week and the release of a strong IP game, Wii U managed to sell 1k -2k more than 8 year old consoles??? My God, Wii U is a BEAST

not too shabby for a REMAKE of a strong ip. but keep trying.



Percentages on their own are quite meaningless. All they do mean in this case is that there was an increase!

I remember the PS4's interest percentage increasing by something more than a million on Amazon when the release date was finally confirmed. But we still have no idea what that exactly meant.

Is remake supposed to be a less compeling type of game?

Nintendomination in the UK!!! Not as loud as Anarchy in the UK, but, well, each generation gets the punk it deserves.


Domination? What do they dominate? The Ouya?



So they sold 685 Wii U's in the UK this week? j/k
