Wish I had some games to play on it, I got almost all the stars in Mario and ZombieU was only interesting for about a week, been playing my 360 and PS3 while my WiiU collects dust.



And by games I mean Nintendo exclusives, I couldn't care less about mediocre ports that have yet to show the consoles potential, I want my Wonderful 101 and Pikmin!



Anyways, back to Okami and Zone of the Enders



My PS3 has become a dust collector since my WiiU was purchased.

Is that supposed to be an incredible achievement? The PS3/360 launches weren't exactly record-breaking.

The Wii U (1,817,166) have sold 88% of what the Wii (2,071,242) did in the same time frame, that's actually pretty impressive considering the Wii had the best launch since the PS2.

I guess so. You  have any chart or something comparing all the console launches?

Only last/current gen home consoles. Too lazy to look for previous gens numbers. Although iirc in gaming history only the PS2 have sold more units at launch than the Wii.

Seems some people are agreeing or maybe hoping that Nintendo is doomed.. I don't think it's doomed it will do fine.



Nintendo Wii by generations...

1. Wii

2. Wii U

3. Wii O U

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)

fixed

The reason for that is because the PS3 launched in Europe 4 months after the release in the U.S and Japan. But if you count the PS3 numbers in Europe you are right, which puts the PS3 at 149%

so it's below the Wii
