Let´s see if Wii U can sell more in 2015 than it did last year.
I will update this post every week. The numbers used will be taken from vgchartz´s global chartz. 

I think you shuold have waited a little longer before making the chart. Wii-U is still overtracked you know.

I hate to be that guy, but you have made a mistake. January 4th 2014 is under 2013.

Weeks 32-45 are like the only good sales on here besides Smash launch and Christmas



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

This is a great thread; one I'll keep an eye on for sure.

Nice idea.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Tagging! But it sure would be interesting if you had 2013 as well =)



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Good work, it would be interesting to also see major software releases in relation to the different sales spikes. You can definitely tell when Mario Kart 8 came out.


I think that E3 Treehouse helped a lot too. Every single game announced helps the Wii U as people are more assured what kind of gameplay and controller utilization they will get.

 

The latter one was one - and STILL IS - the single biggest failure in Wii Us history. 

 

I know that this is one of my "more exclusive" views. But the sales numbers somehow tell I'm onto something: 

Wii Sports Resort sold over 30 Mio. copies at the end of the Wiis life

 

That means that for 30 Mio. people motion control isn't a fad. Quite the opposite: motion control is THE SINGLE BIGGEST REASON to play.

Too bad Wii Sports Club came to late and wasn't promoted accordingly to those who had a Wii. At that time the Wiis Nintendo channel wasn't working anymore...

 

If Nintendo manages to "upgrade" only a third  (!!) of those to a Wii U the situation will change drastically at this would essentially double the installed base...

Already discussed. That week that you are talking about is composed by some days of december and some of january. If you put it as a part of 2013 or 2014 it´s your choice. Either way is correct or incorrect.

VGC does it that way.
