Mummelmann said: Yeah, it's not doing great. The holiday spike should have set in by now, instead it appears to be headed down farily quickly from a rather short bump due to a price cut. I think my conservative year-end prediction will be a massive fail, it will likely end up at half that or there about. One can hope that they'll be able to make the Wii U profitable at least somewhere around Q2 2014, the software sales are a bit slow to cover the losses in a meaningful way. By the way, don't you mean Q3 and Q4? |
So for you, going down 5% weekly in the US from an almost 300% boost from a pricecut after being in effect for 5 full weeks is *fairly quickly*. Not to mention it boosted Europe sales by 600% and it has been in effect there for a 4 vgchartz weeks or 3 full weeks. Even if sales are still bad, i'd say that if an HD remake+a small price cut (If we can even count it as one seeing there was already a 300$ model available since launch), it is safe to say that mario 3D world+ the usual holiday spike should lead it to a great holiday season. And as tbone said, that holiday boost you were referring to starts in november... not in october.
Predictions for LT console sales:
PS4: 120M
XB1: 70M
WiiU: 14M
3DS: 60M
Vita: 13M
