Come on guys!  There is no way this was forcasted.  Is there a point where they dump Wii like Sony did Vita?  I love my Mario games and there's not another game in the world like MarioKart.  These numbers scare me.   We're not even in the deep cold of winter yet?  Could it drop into the 20 ks? 10s?

We need Wii if only to put a kibosh in the wheels of the big boys Sony and Microsoft.  DO SOMETHING Nintendo!

Its January... Every year the console numbers are low for all consoles... Quit worrying until a game comes out

Dude... it's Mario Kart, not Mario Cart.

OT: I'm very scared too.

At least, it's slightly up from last year's number.



Signature goes here!

There are no big releases in January, people need to heal their wallets after Christmas. Numbers are not bad for the WiiU (considering its sales trend), they are good for everyone else.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

50k per week x 13 weeks between january and march = 650K, exactly what they need to hit their year targets. But since vgchartz overtracks a lot, nintendo probably wishes that those where their real numbers.

But why every week someone goes and says, wow, totally unexpected low sales for wii u this week? cmom, there was a time that even vita was outselling wiiu on europe, probably still is.

Where have you been for the last 2 years?



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.

What Nintendo needs is a new system, Nintendos going to have to dump so much money into the Wii-U just to compete with the competition, they need to start fresh, it`s sadly the only way out at this point.

It`s a really shitty situation, keeping dumping money into a system that`s slowly bleeding out or abandon it invest that money in a new system to maybe breathe new life into their company, but kind of screw over the Wii-U owners by moving on.

As pointed out before, it's January.

either drop the gamepad (which apparently does nothing in a lot of games, i've heard) or bundle it with smash and kart. that's the only thing that could save it.
