Your few stores are giving us hope for what exactly?

Well in the holiday season games in general sell very well so yes the wii u did sell but obviously not as great as the ps4 or xbox one nintendo needs to try to sell as many wii u systems as they can before the nx drops.


With the slight momentum they have and a great early 2016 lineup ahead, I strongly believe  that the NX will be here 2017-18 if it's a home console. But my hunch it's a handheld/smartphone 

Reggie already said that they have already publically announced that they're hard at work on their next home console. Doesn't matter what name they'll call it, you don't talk about your next home console unless it's going to come out sooner rather than later. Anything else is unnecesary marketing suicide for the current console.

Everything points to an early NX release at this point: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=210492&page=4

But Ninty already did it to Wii too, that was comfortably pwning competitors, then Ninty announced Wii U very early and it managed to suddenly kill Wii sales.

I'm not sure low stock and selling well can necessarily be correlated. But I do hope Wii U has had a decent holiday. It's got a good lineup and is a nice complimentary console to the "big boys".

From my experiance.... its just low stock in stores to begin with.
I went to a few shops looking for a few games for the wii u, and I noticed how small the space (area wise) they gave the Wii U is.

Even the 3ds doesnt get much space here, in denmark.

Most stores here only have like 2 rows on shelves for the wii u games.
While for playstation 4 they have atleast 6 times that much.

Why shops dont stock more wii u games Im not sure.

 

Its probably because it sells less.

As I'm browsing through a couple of stores Toys R Us and Target, taking my kids to spend their gift cards they got from Gramps. I notice the massive amount of short supply of games at these stores and Wii U Hardware was not to be found. Splatoon,Smash, Xenoblade, Mario Maker Sold out; Toad, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Mario Tennis with only a few left. Mario Kart was the only one still had a healthy amount. 

 

So with that said looks like Nintendo, at least in US, is starting to pick up momentum and I'm glad to see it.

My fellow Nintendo supporters are you seeing the same thing in your area?

 

There is no correlation here. 

Especially as Nintendo had a much poorer month software wise in November of 2015 versus November of 2014. It was considerably down YOY.

 

So that says to me that there wasn't enough stock sent to brick and mortar retail.

Actually for all the naysayers that just to like to come in a drop negative comments without any major reason why. Last year WiiU hardware was hard to find but games still weren't selling and games were always on the shelves this year games are cleared out. The gap in the US isn't as big as it is the EU. I think these two weeks will surprise a few.

 

This kind of stuff though is going to have me write a nice suggested thread for this website

Dude, you need to chill. No one is hating on Nintendo, they are just saying to not read too much into things. Maybe Ninty sold well, maybe retailers didn't stock much, who knows.

Just as its annoying for you to deal with haters and critics, it's annoying for others to be bombarded with "omg Nintendo is doing so well because one store sold out!!!!!"

 

Read all comments after yours for what I was looking for, not like the comments before yours.

Are you saying you made a post about future negative comments...?

That, if they can increase interest in the wiiu, the worst system they've ever made, then it can only go up from here. Even if it's just a little, it seems the wiiu didn't too that bad this Christmas. Of course, we'llhave to wait for official numbers. But, God forbid anyone say something in a positive light around you. Don't like what I'm saying here? Ignore it. I'm ok with that, somehow.

So false hope then. Yeah sorry, I'm not a fan of that being spread. The Wii U has never maintained the holiday boost, it wont suddenly do so now.
