Forums - Nintendo Discussion - wii u sells 50k more units in 2014 so far then same time frame 2013

Really stale, in other words, really bad sales. Concludes that SM3DW had no legs in attracting new potential costumers and further shows the real Nintendo fanbase is just about 10M people right now.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

going off memory, The combo of Monster Hunter and Lego City gave the biggest bump in sales considering it was not during the holiday sales time frame

Latest hardware figures are up, so for the quarter, weeks Jan 5 to March 30 2013 is 468,184 and weeks Jan 4 to March 29 2014 is 492,049, (using VGC weekly figures). Up by 23,865. Not much in it...

Vita is up nearly 300k same time frame in comparison, and Vita outsold the Wii U last year by about 20k iirc.

That's actually really bad considering 3D World legs should've carried into the new year + big first party release (DK) that last year didn't have.


Why are you bringing the Vita into this thread when its a comparison the Wii U's sales years. Its just flame baiting.


It shows how terrible the 50k increase is when it's getting blown out by the fucking Vita.

This thread is about a comparison in Wii U's sales from one year to the next, not about a comparison with a handheld. Your post has nothing to do with this discussion.

I'm inclined to agree with this gentleman here. Let's end this particular part of the discussion right now. The Vita is not a part of the subject at hand.

Public warning.

So as title says. I think with big hitters still to come ( you know the ones mk8, zelda, smash, x and countless indies etc) this is great news so far!

Thoughts? Agree? Disagree?

 

Source was vgcharts sales data by the way.


So?  50k is small stuff.

I'll leave it alone then since the moderator has stepped in, but I've already explained how it relates to the Wii U. It's simply a matter of relativity.

No, what was explained your being a troll and that isn't tolerated around here.

Alright, we have one user going directly against my post right below that very post and then a follow-up naming said poster a troll. There is no purpose to this thread if this is what has become of it. Locking.
