Retailers in America do not seem to be that worried since the Wii U section has gotten bigger in some places. Plus there is still the Wii section and two 3DS sections. Nintendo owns half the gaming space at most retailers! In case anyone cared. So something must be going well. These new bundles for the wii U have been doing well for a while now. Now the Mario one is in most locations and seem to be doing better than the Zelda bundle. I think not only was it wanted, but parents know Mario, and when they see it in a bundle form they go for it. Also the Wii Mini is now out in my area with Mario Kart Wii bundled. I think it is going to be a wild holiday for nintendo, and I did not even mention the 2DS. |
If you haven't noticed, there is a dearth of Wii U and Vita deals for Black Friday. Retailers have lost faith in the Wii U which is (partially) why they aren't pushing them. Expect similar lack of interest/momentum for the holidays. I predict less than 6 million total sold by the end of the year.
