Forums - Sales Discussion - WiiU overtracked 40k in the UK

Wii's UK to US userbase ratio was very similar to 360 last gen, both around 8m to 40m

Suggests UK sales should be at around 320k

What about the Vita? How does this compare to the Gamecube's first year?

Honestly?  Its over. 


It's going to be strange going from a gen where 5 different consoles found a degree of success throughout various points in their life to a gen where only 3 consoles really achieve anything (at least, in terms of UK market).



Maybe Ninty should stop wasting time in the UK? Its not even worth it.

Yeah, the Wii U definitely bombed in the UK. It's like the 360 in Japan all over again.

Dayyyum.

One of the largest gaming markets isn't not worth it? How



You have to wonder if people are getting tired of the Nintendo model.

That doesn't even factor in the huge boost it got from Blue Dragon.  Total was 52% higher by the end of the year

I imagine it so yeah, lets hope Nintendo execs are in panic mode and thinking outside the box on what's the best way forward now.
