Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Iwata: "Wii U sales are not bad"

It's better than X,Y, or Z's launch...so it's Good!
It's worse than A, B, or C's launch....so it's Bad!
I see it on store shelves...so it's Bad!
But Nintendo's restocking much more quickly so it's...Good!
It's not on pace to hit Nintendo's 5.5 M goal so it's...Bad!
But it's the Nth best launch ever for a console so it's...Good!
It's not meeting Wii's sales so its...Bad!

We all have the same exact number - 2.48 million Wii U's sold as of 12/29.

2.48 million.

And we can't agree on something so simple: good or bad. Either we are, or it is, a big joke. But just like deciding between "good" or "bad", I can't tell which.

Oh my god lol.... When the CHIEF of a company UTTERS the word "bad" at anytime, you know there's a problem...

"But sales are not bad, and I feel it's selling steadily" That sentence is a BIG No-No, you NEVER use the word bad...EVER!

Even they know....

Don't use that word. Acceptable. Remember the last time someone used that word.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

So Iwata is admitting that Reggie lied on CNN about US stock levels. Im sure he is lying about profitability after one game also.

Looks like I was right

Well they are definitely not brilliant. I really don't think the wii u sales should be measured with what went before as I believe gaming trends are evolving but that's too much to go into right now.

Gen should be measured against the same gen so what the next xbox and ps does in their early days will be the defining factor on how well the wii u is doing ( or did ).

If ps4 and xboxNext wipes the floor with the wii u sales then yeah, wallop. If they don't or measure up about the same then a different matter. Predicting the wii u's doom can prove to be premature.



they all lie. the biggest lair is crazy ken from sony that guy laired every day about the PS3 lol



VITA 32 GIG CARD.250 GIG SLIM & 160 GIG PHAT PS3

Vita happened.

Everyone should just listen and agree with this guy, we all know he's right. Sales are fine, that is all. Anyway, i can't wait for the PS4 and Xbox 720 to come out, just so we can hear about how they flop too lol, it's expected



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018
