With the new numbers, Wii U should be a bit up. But I expected a bigger boost from MP10, which sold well. I can't believe Wii U can't go above 40k even with a successful launch... Europe's numbers gotta be wrong or something...

While Mario Party 10 didn't spike very high, I'm very sure it will help provide a baseline above 30k since the game is still a favorite present from parents to their children. And since it's the first one where a new console is needed, they will upgrade their Wiis as well.

As for europe, it wouldn't surprise me if these numbers where lowballed. But since salesmen (here at least) heavely tend to push their customers to buy a PS4 or an Xbox ONE instead even if you specifacally ask for a Wii U game, I wouldn't wonder if the difference is, sadly, not too high.


Wow, I never thought salesmen would be that "biased". I mean, of course they want to sell more products, but this is a bit too much.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

This.


Nintendo Entertainment System did around 3x better in North America than Europe lifetime.
Super Nintendo Entertainment System did around 3x better in North America than Europe lifetime.
Nintendo 64 did around 3x better in North America than Europe lifetime.
Gamecube did around 3x better in North America than Europe lifetime.

Wii U is already discontinued in the most shops in my area (live in Germany, 2nd biggest country of Europe). Can't imagine that it looks better in other countries. Nintendo home consoles always were much bigger in North America than in Europe! I'm sorry but I can't trace your arguments...

Ok, you stop to GameCube. But after that?

You can't compared console 10/20 years old.....

The market is chance, one time Nintendo was like XBOX, with some like 50/60 % of the sales in the US... indeed look GBA and GC. US sales:

GBA: 40,000,000 (50% of total sales)

GC: 12,000,000 (60% of total sales)

 

And look what is happen last gen.

Wii: 40,000,000 (40% of total sales)

DS: 55,000,000 (35% of total sales)

 

The gap Europe - North America is not bigger like one time...

Wii, DS and Gameboy were all successfully Wii U is not successfully. Gamecube and N64 also weren't successfully. 
Comparing Wii U with Gamecube and N64 is more logical than comparing Wii U with Wii and DS.

3DS is successfully like the GBA.

3DS sales in the US: 35 %

GBA sales in the US: 50 %

 

Is a fact: Nintendo sales in US are not bigger as one time...

Updated!!



POE on 30 April 2015

New numbers up.



Bofferbrauer on 30 April 2015

Not too much above last year this week, but the next 8 weeks the difference should be more notable, since then last year weekly sales dropped fast below 30k. Not gonna happen this year, I'm pretty sure we will have at least 5000+ each week there.

The weeks after the MK8 release will become very interesting though. While the first weeks are clearly out of reach, I hope the Wii U can keep up during late June/July when the console was doing very well last year.

i don t see this year passing last year once MK8 sales hit - there is nothing to boost this year like MK8 and Smash -
