GC also had a better launch than the Wii which will end at over 100m so I fail to see your point.

Don't get me wrong I agree that sub 100k numbers for the WiiU are incoming and I don't see it getting anywhere near Wii numbers life time. Best case scenario I think is SNES numbers (50m ish) and worst case GC (20m ish)

@DanneSandin

agreed, like I said in a previous post. In 2001/02 people genrally have more cash to burn so I'm not suprise the consoles from that gen release so well

Yeah, the market is vastly different today than back then, and it doesn't really seem as if Nintendo knows how to appeal to this market...

we don't really know that.  We know the GC sold more in the US, and we know the wii outsold the GC by around 60k in japan launch week.  They both didn't sell well in Europe anyway.  There's hardly a significant difference to be bragging about.

These grafts continue to show that WiiU's launch and continuing sales really isn't any worse (and in fact is far better) than PS3/360's.

My concern is 360/PS3 were high-tech systems that cost a lot initially (and still aren't cheap!) but because of that enjoyed the longest console life (without replacement) we've ever seen. WiiU will quickly become outdated tech-wise. Likely even by Android powered devices within the next couple years.

According to MC the WiiU is at 20k this week and below the PS3.

It's also below what the PS3 did for the same week in January 2006, when it was mega expensive...

This could get ugly for the WiiU.

Yeah, Nintendo is really fucking up the Wii U. They might have launched it too early... Except for NSMBU they don't have any system seller, and they really need to show what the system is capable of; right now it's only as good as PS360...

updates please!

New version of the cumulative Media Create graph with the 3DS added, updated to this weeks Wii U numbers.

Whats that chart? First 6 weeks launches aligned?

Yup.
