| froster said: Nintendo losses sales, because the user are not interested in wii-u. The Wii sales at the first three month starting nov. 2005 are 4 million consoles. But the Wii-U sales at the same beginning at november 2012 are ony 2.4 million consoles. Is this why vgchartz.com not set an actual graphic at the homepage for the hardware sales? The Wii-U is a flop. I thing 40% less sales than the Wii is a desaster. |
First of all, the Wii U has only just been out for two months, so you can't possibly compare it with the first three months of the Wii, yet.
Second of all, the Wii launched in 2006, not 2005.
Third of all, VGChartz doesn't put the "graphic" up on the homepage until there's something to compare. The Wii U is out, but neither of the other two 8th gen systems have released. The exact same thing happened in the time between the 3DS and Vita releases - the graphic still only showed DS vs PSP, because without the Vita having been released, there was no comparison to be made, yet.
Fourth of all, the Wii was a phenomenon - to sell 40% less than Wii sales isn't a disaster, it's pretty much as-expected for the first system of a generation.
Just to emphasise this last point, consider that the Xbox 360, in its first three calendar months on sale, sold 1.7 million units. It was released a year before the PS3 and Wii, and thus had a weaker launch period. The PS3 sold even less (although that's probably partially due to the fact that it didn't launch in Europe at the same time).
But then, you should be thankful I bothered to respond to your comment at all. Your post was poorly-written in the way that a lazy native English speaker would write, had multiple obvious errors, and didn't contain a single point that was worth reading. Next time, if you want to get into a discussion about a serious topic, put some effort into your damn post.
