Poor performance for wiiU. It's merely up 40% over last year's already very low number. I was expecting a much better black friday this year with Smash bros and MK8 but oh well.


As I say, these are only early numbers and I'm being quite conservative on Nintendo stuff with our scaling factors this year as we were quite high over the holidays in 2013.

Some sources (if their patterns held true across others) could put Wii U closer to 300k and 3DS closer to 400-500k so we will see. As I say, Black Friday is by far the hardest week of the year to estimate for as each data source is showing totally different sales patterns and you need a view of all them all to get the full picture. The more data that comes in the more we can refine until we arrive at a final estimate.

Interesting. I can't wait to see the final estimates. 300k for wiiU would definetly be a much better performance then 200k (a 100%+ increase YoY). I also hope that we'll get some kind of PR statement from Nintendo soon enough about their BF performance. 


WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!Of course 300k in USA would be awesome,to be honest when i saw the preliminary 200k I hoped that in the end would be 300k...!However,you ignored 3DS...400k-500k in USA with the new3ds/xl on the way which of course hurts the sales(anticipation of the new model) in the west would be unbelievable if it is the final number!I would be completely shocked!
