| gcube2000 said: MK8 had a pretty outstanding 1st week. Selling nearly 190k hardware units in a non holiday period has never been done on Wii U until now. I personally think yes, Wii U is going to stay pretty consistant for awhile. Here's what I think sales will be (approximently) for it's first 4 weeks with MK8. Week 1 was- 187k Week 2- 190k Week 3- 160k Week 4- 145k Total- 682k It seems extreme but MK is a huge franchise. It might of helped Wii U a lot in the long run. Remember I'm talking about Wii U hardware not MK8 sales. So leave your thoughts in the comments. |
For a few weeks, yes. Your numbers are a bit high but I could see it staying at 100K or above for the next 2 to 3 weeks. What happens after that is really up to Nintendo's E3. If they can squeeze out one moderate to big release a month (X, Yarn Yoshi, Bayonetta 2, Smash, Wii Sports Club, etc) till the holidays, the Wii U could stay between 50 and 80K throughout the rest of the year, with several more weeks above 100K. If there is nothing between now and Smash, sales will dip below 50K before summer's end, and likely before July's end.
