| OneKartVita said: Great sales for everything. Vita, ps4 and Wii U all massively up YOY. WiiU 2013 Hardware Sales Christmas Season (Nov 18 - Nov 24) - 21.002 (Nov 25 - Dec 1) - 28.518 (Dec 2 - Dec 8) - 48.762 (Dec 9 - Dec 15) - 74.903 (Dec 16 - Dec 22) - 109.113 WiiU 2015 Hardware Sales Christmas Season (Nov 23 - Nov 29) - 20.256 (Nov 30 - Dec 6) - 32.604 (Dec 7 - Dec 13) - 47.890 (Dec 14 - Dec 20) - 80,000 (Dec 21 - Dec 27) - ??? So Wii U has 110k to beat next week and it could do it. Note that this year has 53 weeks. |
Based on that comparison I was expecting 80k for last week (and yeah 110k for the 52 week). Otherwise, the 80k would have certaintly shocked me! I wasn't confident though, I'm so glad it happened...
Splatoon bundle was sold out , and super mario maker WASnear that situation... Once again, Nintendo underestimates its products! Therefore, if Nintendo doesn't replenish the stock (splatoon bundle is just for holidays), don't be optimistic.
The staggering thing is that Wii u is pushing almost same sales with itS big holiday in its peak year, 2013, with a bundle that has an exorbitant price... 36.500 yen vs 31.000 (32.000), Splatoon vs Wii party U, Wii u remote, (WII FIT U), (WII FIT METER), New super mario bros U... lol What if the bundle was cheaper or a price cut? Wii u is rising without a price drop, so not profit abatement, but with being sold at higher price than usual, so profit increase. WTF hhahah!
As I have told in my prediction thread about the first week sales of this bundle , people mesmerized by splatoon's great charm would defy that the bundle is overpriced...
However, definately super mario maker contributes to wii u boost too (which is an overpriced bundle too, 35.000 YEN), in an equal extend as it seems...
Nintendo should have included Mario kart 8 in splatoon bundle, like they have done in Europe (to also justify the price of the bundle)... Wasted chance! Splatoon storm would make mario kart 8 reach 1.5-1.6m as of now.... :P Or at least they shouldn't have discontinued , Mario kart 8 bundle. The more choices the better!
Edit: Ohhhhhhhhh, that's just famitsu... So far, media create had 3ds and wii u higher. Interesting!
When the almighty media create is coming? After the new year... Eh?
I'm curious to see if splatoon can carry wii u on 2016... As a result, making feasible wii u beating Gamecube, which sold 4m LT!
