Nintendo has killed the Wii U with all the NX releasing next year rumours. It looks like a Sega Saturn with a bit more of support if some games are released both on NX and Wii U (perhaps NX is Wii U backwards compatible).

I think if Nintendo had said the Wii U was going to be their only home console till XMas of 2017 it would have sold more the last 2 months.


More support than the Sega Saturn?  Maybe more support than the N64.

Yeah, at this rate the Sega Saturn will end up with quite a few more games than the Wii U.

So, Splatoon outsold Titanfall by 3.5:1 in the US...

Splatoon second NPD: 290,000
Titanfall second NPD: 84,000

What's the first NPD comparison?

Titanfall: 1,000,000

Splatoon: 136,000

BUT, with this trend we can expect Splatoon > Titanfall lifetime easy...

Wasn't Splatoon released at the very end of the month, though? Compared to Titanfall which was released earlier in the month.

Yeah, very possible.

Only problem is, everyone would have assumed Wii U/3DS would be the last Nintendo consoles, including developers. Which in turn would have meant again no 3rd party software support, as they literally for the most part only would find out about NX on it's reveal - which is too late to develop/port a game for it's release window. And probably also afterwards, because a release without games is not gonna sell well.

They should have kept it secret, but informed all the devs/publishers about it with an NDA for over a year, but that's hard to achieve without getting tons of leaks

For be correct:

Splatoon in 1 week: 136,000

Titanfall in 4 weeks: 1,000,000

Yes, Titanfall sold over 1 million first month with the bundle, but withouth that, Titanfall pass 1 million sold only in June 2014. ( 4 month after released )

Sorry, i was very off...


You can't compare the two as Titanfall had 4 weeks of sales in March, then another 4 weeks in April, while Splatoon had 2 days in May and an entire 5 weeks in June.



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
