Forums - Sales - Wii U sold 40K units during UK launch (CONFIRMED)

So what we have learned is shocking. It's not possible to sell more consoles than what you shipped!

If my airline and my hotel can both sell more than the product they have available, then either Nintendo isn't up to the standards of Motel 6 or you're just trolling!

Seems like most supply issue is with the Premium package.

Anyway why Nintendo created the normal package???


That is the question no one knows the answer to lol. Even die hard NIntendo fans struggle with this concept.

It's not a hard question to answer... Nintendo was obviously terrified that $350 US would be too expensive for a large part of the market, so they scrambled to cut the price down to $300 by any means necessary and offer it as a separate package.

I think this is true. I also think the $300 bundle will make a rebound. Right now, you have some pretty dedicated video game enthusiasts picking the superior SKU. But as word of mouth spreads and the Wii U becomes more popular, I imagine the $300 bundle will get some traction.



I m with this numbers and happy with wii u.

A new console was needed and here it is.



Switch!!!

Nintendo created that package for people who have no intentions of downloading a lot of stuff nor were interested in playing NintendoLand. Not forgetting that, a smaller price is always very important. For those, a white Wii U plus Mario or any other game is more than enough.



Judging by the latest sales numbers, the PS4 is suffering a far worse fate then the Wii U, which is saying something based on how bad the U is doing according to many badazz core gamers. As of the last numbers released , not a single PS4 game is ranked anywhere on the charts, this is not good for Sony. Also, there must not be any real demand for it anywhere, because in spite of the fact that they have manufactured 0 consoles, my buddy that I know and who lives somewhere was able to find them on store shelves today! In addition, not a single major 3rd party exclusive is announced for the console! There is also speculation that the CPU inside it is not any more powerfulz then teh cell, and that it cannot do holographic glasses-free 3d without a TV in 8k resolution as early speculation had indicated. Does this mean Sony is dumedz?? I think it might!
