Forums - Nintendo - Why Is Wii Killing In Sales ?

MrT-Tar on 10 June 2011

I don't know about elsewhere in the world, but here in the U.K the Wii has in the last few weeks seen a level of marketing unheard of outside the run up to Christmas.  This would have a positive effect on sales coupled with the price cut

Actually no $50 bucks isn't too much for me-------^

But OT: I'm thinking that perhaps people know for sure now that Wii in backwards compatible with Wii U, so maybe it's safer to buy the games to bring them over next gen ? It's gotta be something more then $50...

Good for you. I guess people thought they could buy an extra game besides the bundled game for Wii.

Why do you say "good for you" you asked a question and i answered it ??

Huh? Well, I guess because I interpreted your answer as $50 being an easy money to throw away.

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Here's hoping the OP is just disingenuously gloating.

Sorry to disapoint you but i'm not. I couldn't care less how much Wii sells. But going from selling nothing to topping PS3.....something besides $50 is in play.

It's the Wii U announcment: people noticed Wii shall stop being produced, so they are buying thm as quickly as possible so in 30 years, they can sell each for $3000.



Above: still the best game of the year.

We are lucky to even see a Wii commercial here in the U.S

 

 

But damn there is like an Apple IPhone commercial 5 times a day! Makes you question why Nintendo isn't advertising this here.
