Too bad they couldn't keep Wii and DS output for this generation. Tons of Wii games missing from Wii U like Endless Ocean, a proper Animal Crossing, Mario Strikers and Sluggers, Wii Music, etc..

I'd kill for a new Strikers

Thread moved to Sales Discussion.

OT: It still amazes me how much Pokémon sells. It still has potential to pull out 15m+ sellers. I'm really curious to see how the next generation of Pokémon will perform on the next Nintendo system.

That discussion makes more sense, thanks. If they release a hanheld version of the NX this year, and Pokemon Z or Gen 7 were a launch title, boom.

Why not use official Nintendo sales figures which are readily available......?

Using VGChartz numbers when we have official data makes no sense.

I thought about that, there's a few reasons I'm not using those numbers. The major reason is that they only give sales for the top 10 selling Wii games and top 10 selling DS games. If they reported on all of them, I'd use them, but they don't. Second is that I don't know if those numbers are sell through to consumer or sell through to retailers. The fact that they only update those numbers sporadically also doesn't help.

I know. I just thought you'd include it since it was for the DS

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

No, this is for games owned by Nintendo, I'll eventually do a thread for third parties, and Professor Layton and Level-5 will be on there.

Can't wait for what NX's "Wii Sport" would be......... NintendoLand was fun for me and it really showed what the gamepad can do.



Pocky Lover Boy!

It really is unfortunate that it didn't do as well as Wii Sports, it's great fun.

This is as of March 2015. 

The numbers reflect units sold to retailers (sell in). In this case, due to the age of Wii and DS, you can consider them final sell through numbers as well. Of course some of the more higher selling titles may sell a few hundred thousand more in 2015/16.

These numbers also include digital download.
