Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii U undertracked week ending Dec. 6th?

 

Are these numbers real?

LOL, yeah 25 52.08%
 
Nope, undertrack 23 47.92%
 
Total:48

 

Ok, so explain to me how these Wii U sales this week could be right?

Wii U 2012 same week

Pushing Units: Launch Hype

Dec. 8th, 2012

WiiU

537,468

Wii U 2013 same week

Pushing Units Super Mario 3D World, WWHD Bundle, cheaper price (also now competing with PS4/XB1)

Dec. 7th, 2013

WiiU 185,716

Obviously with the launch of two next gen consoles a lot of attention would've been diverted from the console. Also the whole 3D World campaign screwed up people's minds, thinking it's just a glorified 3DS

Wii U 2014 same week

Pushing Units: Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Super Smash Bros U, Captain Toad:Treasure Tracker

Dec. 6th, 2014

WiiU 187,952

So just a 2k boost from last year with two of the biggest games in the industry, plus other from this year and a whole 2013 library under its belt, and it only manages this? I know the Wii U situation isn't good, but this just seems ridiculously low. I believe it will be adjusted up sometime, but until then, does anyone speculate differently? Please refrain from hateful comments, because I am not hating on any other console or game.



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

RIP Iwata 12/6/1959-7/11/2015

Thanks for all the great memories!

The Nintendo stigma of being just for casuals really hurt it. Gold never strikes twice right? Hopefully they will still sell near 30 million by end of WIi U lifetime. Nintendo's next system should do much better since they have said they are done catering to the casuals.



Looks like it was madly overtracked last year, less so this year, but still overtracked.



Smash has done absolutly nothing to impact sales anywhere and MK did its boosting HW sales back in June. Wii U is not under tracked.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

actually I dont believe its still overtracked by more than 75k



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Official Ni No Kuni Fanboy:

Familiars Captured:37

Game Beaten: 2 times almost

Times I got teary during some scenes: 3

Nintendo holding the price tag a year after and without any meaningful bundles, much more competition.



I really doubt it.



Impossible.
Wii U, as a Nintendo console, is by default overtracked. Always and every time.

Exactly, only Nintendo is overtracked!

Nope. Numbers are fine. Japan numbers are making it look way worse than it should. I mean, they're bad, but Japan numbers are super low compared to 2013.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
