| Yakuzaice said: Wii U software numbers seem a bit odd. They basically seem what you would expect if nothing had changed with hardware that week. Nintendo Land is basically flat, which on its own isn't odd. Perhaps sales of that bundle stayed roughly the same with the Wind Waker bundle selling more beyond that. Or maybe people buying the WW bundle bought stand alone copies of Nintendo Land. However Rayman is down and NSMBU is flat from last week. Without the Wonderful 101, software sales are actually down by a moderate amount for last week. Either VGC hasn't properly taken into account Wii U sales, the new customers didn't buy any software outside of the bundled WW, or the hardware boost was negligible. |
The sale price was only in effect for 2 days, so you're not going to see much of a change. You might see like... I dunno, 3 or 4 thousand extra sold in an ideal scenario. Next week should see more of a difference, but still nothing crazy. Nintendo's marketing has so far been targeted towards hardcore gamers (I've seen that Zelda add so many time), but they haven't really delivered the message to the masses. They need to do that to see a huge spike. They'll soon have the software to do that (Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club), so time will tell if they can do it effectively.
