Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo: 1.2 million hardware units sold, 400,000 Wii U

DS shouldn't be out-selling 3DS in it's second holiday. Regardless of PR spin, that is not an encouraging statistic. It's not like 3DS's are in short supply.

So. 400K Wii U, 300K Wii, 275K DS and 250K 3DS are Black Friday numbers?

Nintendo knows 3DS sales is bad.

Btw the Wii managed 460k in the US FW, and it was similar to this week (BF week). And considering the Wii had more hype back then, 400k is not a bad number. We must know how big the shipment was before we judge, but 400k is nothing to sniff at, consoles hit their peak 2-3 years later (in 360 and PS3's cases even more) unlike phones and tablets which have an initial strong week and month. I'm not justifying the number, just putting things in persepective, too early to call anything yet, let's see what happens in December.

That said, 3DS numbers are horrific. I know they're saying it's ahead of the DS, but I can't see anything that will help it this holiday season unless the price cut rumor is true.



Anyone know what NPD had the Wii at in Nov 2006 for reference purposes?
