^ Well thank you for trying, I tried again in both browsers w/all extentions turned off and still nothing.

I guess it has to be something on my computer in some setting somewhere, but I really have no idea what that could be when it was showing up just fine not too long ago. Hopefully I'll stumble upon it soon.

July 13th data up.

Looks like WiiU is on a rebound. 3 consecutive weeks of weekly increases... even if only marginal, its a step in the right direction.

Have you tried clearing your cache? ctrl+shift+R?

I just tried in both browsers, that didn't seem to work either.

I just checked from my phone, though, I don't know why I didn't think of that before. Every showed up fine, so I'm guessing I must've just done something retarded with the firewall/antivirus programs a while back when I was trying to get something to work with wifi. Glad I can finally see the data atleast in time for Pikmin.



Updated with July 20th data... Wii Us minor gains falling flat again!

Oh no, Pikmin 3 failed us!

Now our hopes rest on The Wonderful 101.

Well... it hasn't exactly failed yet. These charts only account up to the point of Japan release of Pikmin3. Need a couple more weeks of data to see worldwide difference. With Japan only it had a mediocre bump for a few weeks... just sayin'.



very interresting read.
I didn't remember Nintendo expected to ship 5.5 millions Wii U by the end of march 2013. Such a difference between their expectations and the hard reallity.



Updated with past two weeks of data. Sorry I was late with that.

Well, July showed a pretty good increase from June's pitiful performance and its highest month since March. However, its still quite a bit lower than what it should be when comparing it to other hardware, historically. At least its on an upswing and let's see if WiiU can break 200k for August!

Answer the poll peeps!



Great!

At least there a little improvement, even if it's tiny. WiiU's a good amount behind PS360 now, but it hasn't lost the first year battle yet. Best not to look at the Wii line though, it's insane. No console's ever going to get 20m sales in the first year again.

I'm optimistic enough to say 'yes' at your poll by the way. With Pikmin 3 US release and Wonderful 101, why not?



Seems like we've been waiting for ever to see those first week NA Pikmin sales affect on the console...

3D World is obviously going to be the big Wii U game this holiday, but I still think Pikmin 3 could well kick things off to fairly strong sales again.
