Fine enough for me. I will invest in one eventually.



I would say between good/great. A solid great would be 2.8 million, and a solid fantastic 3.5 million.

It is hard to say it had less than a good launch. It did have the second highest launch in home console history afterall.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It didn't do bad. But did it do better than the PSV?



No, it din't do well. Because Wii U is deserved to sell more than 10million in the holiday season alone. Haha, joke. I think it did pretty well. At least I love my Wii U, but I am really worring about the upcoming titles. Checking the calendar, it seems very poor.

It's only been 2 months.

6 weeks in America, a month in Europe and under a month in Japan. Not 2 months

It's done well in Japan and America, not so well in Europe. A good start overall.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

The WiiU is less than 2 million or so away from the Vita lifetime sales, so it's had a much better start.

1.6 million behind.  

 

Someone should make a prediction thread when the Wii U will surpass the Vita in LTD sales.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Compared to the Wii, it's not doing too good. But this is a marathon, not a sprint - so it still has a chance of outselling Wii. It all comes down to the capabibilty of the system; is it future proof?

Compared to the launch of PS360 it did very well.

The most interesting period is now imo: after January we'll be able to judge just HOW well it's doing.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Well it took Sony until the end of June (7 months after it first launched) last year to hit 2.2m shipped, never mind sold.

Meanwhile, this is after 6 weeks. It's not even a relevant comparison.
