Wii U is actually selling somewhere between "Ok" and "poor" as opposed to death according to these numbers. I wonder if they are overtracking? XBOne is also OK, but PS4 is in beast mode.


I keep seeing Wii U sales that sell 1500 at a time pretty damn quick.  260 for the mario bundle out the door on ebay, and Nintendo has it reburbed with Nintendo land for 200 on their website.  So yeah, I think the Wii U is hanging in there.  Hopefully MK can put up decent numbers and keep the system healthy enough to not be a complete disaster.  

 

It has some great games, people just need to justify the cost of a companion system, because IMO that's exactly what it is.

A "companion" system is a tough sell these days I guess. In part because X1 and PS4 don't have backwards compatibility a lot of people are hanging on to their PS3/360 and those are their "companion" systems and developers are still supporting both the PS3/360 ... for example the new South Park game and most people have a back log of games on those systems already. 

Honestly when I look at all the games I haven't gotten around to on my PS3 ... I have more to play on that system than any of the new machines right now.
