Wow, Splatoon did great and Wii U managed to reach 1st place. Congrats!

Hopefully this shows Nintendo that new IPs are needed and help consoles.



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

Let's cross the fingers for a great second week,i.e just a 50% drop=72.5k(Unless nintendo screws with the replenishment) and we will see for the legs!I'm optimistic about them!
Do we know if splatoon is getting a wii u bundle later,I have the notion that it will get one soon but I feel it's an illusion of mine!:P

If I'm not mistaken MK was selling around 4/5k a week for quite some time and now it more than doubled to 11/12k. So a lot of those 17k who bought WiiUs for Splatoon also bought Mario Kart, which means some people were waiting for Splatoon to get a WiiU along with other games such as MK.

Splatoon system seller confimed!

On a more serious tone, Mario Kart just broke 1 million after 1 year ont the market. That's great for a home console over there. Also great Withcr 3 second week sales. It desserves good sales.

You're forgetting that there's a Wii U Mario Kart 8 bundle . That's why when hardware increases the game too.

The bundle is the same price as buying the system and game seperately.  They could just buy it without MK8 and get a different game but they didn't.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Splatoon only sold to 6% of Wii U owners. Psychopaths sold to 8.6% of xb1 owners. xb1 sales up 60%. xbox domination.

You should inform yourself first, before replying. Prices in Japan:

Wii U Premium - ¥30.000

Wii U Mario Kart 8 Bundle - ¥32.800

Mario Kart 8 - ¥5.700

You save ~¥3.000 buying the bundle.

Splatoon is the winner here, i bet without Splatoon Wii U will not have that kind of sales boost.

and WTF Xbox One games finally on charts lol, Yeah Psycho Pass. To bad the second season on Anime is suck.

of course not. When a game release, there is some kind of boost. Or am I talking something wrong here?

Because i dont see any console boost when XCX was releasing back then. Splatoon indeed help Wii U.
