As title suggests, Q2 (April, May and June) show 249k in US and around 122k in Japan. Q3 is showing so far, 141k in US and 95k in Japan. (Current trends in both countries suggest WiiU will fall well below in the US, and pick up a little slack in Japan. Europe is more than likely on par with US, with sales dropping this Q.

Last Q Nintendo shipped 510k WiiU's, but this Q with VGC sales, we're expect 1.1m~ shipped. Why? This certainly goes against Nintendos own prediction of 3.6m for the fiscal year as well.

Not surprising to see that.

We knew already that the Wii U was overtracked so I don't know why this is news worthy, but okay.

Let's see how much the lineup of this year will help vs. the one of last year.

Can we stay on topic please.

Lol seece, I pretty much expect these threads from now on for you.

Anyway, I think that's obviously because MK8 has slowed down the legs until holidays.

NO MAJOR wii U game in EU or US in August, July.....or June.

However sept-dec will be much much better.

Can't really debate those numbers. So the Wii U is indeed overtracked here on VGC? 

I think the 3rd place is now nailed. What's also concerning is the 3DS numbers, not sure you did a thread on that one yet though. 

smh... more of these comments. 

I doubt it would be muhc better, I mean Hyrule Warriors, Capt.Toad, and Bayonetta aren't going to do much at all. Smash is basically the last stand for the year and even that, while big, won't do significant headway for the console itself come the holidays. 

Don't see how September and October will be any better. Outside of Bayo in Japan which will give a shrt 1 week boost in japan, there is nothing that will raise sales to my knowledge?

Wii U is basically Nintendo's Dreamcast. Good console with critical acclaim but it's never going to really gain sales traction.

Being back to sub-65k so soon after Mario Kart 8's launch is just disheartening. Sure Smash + holidays will give a temporary boost, but that's all it will be ... temporary, just like the Mario Kart bump.

Only things I know that are releasing are Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad... and maybe Mario Kart 8 DLC? 

Doesn't seem that much to me either. 

Thought Toad and MK DLC was holidays?

Bayo and Hyrule will do nothing in the west Hardware wise.
