Nice Wii U members



Around the Network

40k for Exist Archive isn't bad at all. Fallout 4 is way ahead of Fallout 3, and while Jojo is down from previous game, I thought it was going to do much worse. Monster Strike sold big, but I thought this would be around the same as PADZ, just a little lower.

All platforms are selling well. Wii U is doing higher than I expected too (thought it would pull ~60k). gg

Wii U did well.



Never heard of Monster Strike, but those numbers.
Not really nice numbers for Jojo and exist archive I think.
Fallout sold really big.



Splatoon digital must be a lot higher this month. Game and bundle are selling out. Crazy!

Monster Strike is the biggest mobile game in Japan. Been downloaded over 30 million times and makes over $4 million/day.

WiiU 2015 Hardware Sales Christmas Season

(Nov 23 - Nov 29) - 20.256
(Nov 30 - Dec 6) - 32.604
(Dec 7 - Dec 13) - 47.890
(Dec 14 - Dec 20) - 80,000
(Dec 21 - Dec 27) - ???

So Wii U has 110k to beat next week and it could do it. Note that this year has 53 weeks.



Great numbers overall, but Wii U numbers are specially impressive.At this rate, it could very well pass over 100k next week.But some people are pointing out that it is having stock problems.Can someone me inform the link or the reason why this is happening?

Splatoon and Mario maker destroying with its legs, and Paper Jam having a very good hold these weeks in Japan.Good to see it.Hope that other softwares have a bumo in sales too.

Something I have been thinking, is that Nintendo would do good to hold off the release of NX(if it would have been release in 2016 and if it is a home console) to 2017, and have Splatoon 2 ready for launch window or the first months.This game alone could be reason enough to make NX popular and sell at a gigantic pace since the beggining at least in Japan.It would be genial move.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Damn surperior tracker comes out tomorrow right? If Splatoon sales are say 75k and 85k next week with a drop to lets say 40k, it'll put Sales for the game at 1.28mil by years end excluding digital for Nov/Dec!

Would that be close to the #1 HC game this gen?

MK8?
WiiPartyU?
NSMBU?

Based on that comparison I was expecting 80k for last week (and yeah 110k for the 52 week). Otherwise, the 80k would have certaintly shocked me! I wasn't confident though, I'm so glad it happened...


Splatoon bundle was sold out , and super mario maker WASnear that situation... Once again, Nintendo underestimates its products! Therefore, if Nintendo doesn't replenish the stock (splatoon bundle is just for holidays), don't be optimistic.

 

The staggering thing is that Wii u is pushing almost same sales with itS big holiday in its peak year, 2013, with  a bundle that has an exorbitant price... 36.500 yen vs 31.000 (32.000), Splatoon vs Wii party U, Wii u remote, (WII FIT U), (WII FIT METER), New super mario bros U... lol What if the bundle was cheaper or a price cut? Wii u is rising without a price drop, so not profit abatement, but with being sold at higher price than usual, so profit increase. WTF hhahah!

As I have told in my prediction thread about the first week sales of this bundle , people mesmerized by splatoon's great charm would defy that the bundle is overpriced...

However, definately super mario maker contributes to wii u boost too (which is an overpriced  bundle too, 35.000 YEN), in an equal extend as it seems...

Nintendo should have included Mario kart 8 in splatoon bundle, like they have done in Europe (to also justify the price of the bundle)... Wasted chance!  Splatoon storm would make mario kart 8 reach 1.5-1.6m as of now.... :P Or at least they shouldn't have discontinued , Mario kart 8 bundle.  The more choices the better!

Edit: Ohhhhhhhhh, that's just famitsu... So far, media create had 3ds and wii u higher. Interesting!

When the almighty media create is coming? After the new year... Eh?

 

 

 

I'm curious to see if splatoon can carry wii u on 2016... As a result, making feasible wii u beating Gamecube, which sold 4m LT!
