| Aielyn said: Perhaps you've missed the repeated word I've used in this discussion: "now". The Wii U has been holding at a strong sales number in Japan since the price cut and release of the Wii Party U bundle - indeed, its worst week, the week of the 16th of November, it sold 15k. It has now been above 15k every week for 7 weeks, including weeks where no significant game was released. And the momentum has been building - last week, it sold just under 75k. For comparison, the PS3 sold under 24k, and that was with multiple new PS3 games released... and that was a slight decrease from the previous week, while the Wii U saw an increase of over 50% over the previous week with no new titles. Tell me - at what point do we stop using data from October to comment on the status of the Wii U now? If the Wii U were to sell 200k units next week in Japan, would you still point to "that week when it sold 3k" to prove that the Wii U is struggling in Japan? |
If it still sells at decent levels after the holidays, simple as that.
