Glad to see WiiU slightly better (if I remember the numbers of last week correctly), let's hope it won't drop again.


its up 10% this week in usa. no software releases though. word of mouth maybe? advertising push?

It'll be interesting to see if Rayman Legends and Lego City Undercover will be able to push sales^^


Legends... not much.  Lego though, I think is going to be bigger than people expect.  Hopefully, Ninteno will have Wonderful 101 out a few weeks after that, Wii Fit U a few weeks after that, Game and Wario a few weeks after that, and Pikmin 3 a few weeks after that.  If all those games come out in succession, the Wii U will do alright till E3 where they'll hopefully show off some true system sellers.

Games sell systems together though. New Super Mario Bros. U will end up selling 10 Million+ and people will call Mario Kart U or Super Mario U the "true" system sellers because when they released systems picked up. It will be a combinations of many games and if MK was the launch game it would be the same situation. Wii Fit U, Lego City, TW101, G&W, and Pikmin 3 will all help sell systems😃

Oh that's most definitely true.  Lots of games factore into the decision to buy a console, but some games factor in more than others.  Like, I think there are probably a lot of people out there who'd like to try Nintendo Land and NSMBU, but Wii Fit U will be what pushes them over the top and gets them to slap 350 on the table.
