You must be slightly mad for saying that, how is it an anomaly? Nintendo issued a price drop from 350$ to 300$ for Deluxe SKU that has 32GB of storage with one or two games bundled with it and Super Mario 3D World was released on November 22nd which is a big triple A title from Nintendo and most anticipated title on Nintendo's console in 2013. Wii U got plenty of software in Q3 and Q4 of 2013 when the game drought ended. Even Wii Party U pushed sales of the Wii U... Software sells hardware, that is why some people in fact choose to get Xbox One over PlayStation 4 for example... People bought original PlayStation because of software and not hardware over Nintendo 64 and same thing with PlayStation 2 over Xbox then Wii over Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 because of software. Software sells hardware... It is simple as that. |
Because all of those measures were taken before December, yet they were down YOY in November (massively I might add) and down again in January. December was a blip, and now it's back to normal (which is being down YOY).
