japan is irrivalant in my opinion, as long as ps4 can do 7 million LTD sales, that would fine, its all about us and europe, the only console that needed japan IMO is wiiu, now i don't see it doing 25 WW LTD.

Well, that isn't really a bold prediction, because 25 Wind Waker games would be a bit much.


25 million wiiu consoles WW.

I thought Wii U may have fallen further so this is alright.

And something has dethroned Animal Crossing! But probably only for the one week...

LOL system just came out with mario, this is not alright, japan was the only place i thought it would do ok, yets it already doing horrible for a system that just launched, at this rate nintendo will only sell 3 million by march 31.

is the current sales level any different to the PS3 at a similar timeframe?

selling worst then ps3 at the moment, if your talking about weekly sales.

even japan doesn't care about about wiiu, well like i have been saying nintendo lost its loyal core fan base with the wii, i think sales prove this.


You are just so happy... about it! If Nintendo fails in JP this means that gaming in general is failing and it isn't a good thing nor for Sony nor for MS.

WOW! you sound a bit like Patcher now you know?

 

25 ww lt is a joke it is selling more than what XB360 did in teh same period (to date) It just need games and Of course it will! But if you want you can bet with me.

The inevitable.

And why would that be?

Because the Wii U was a terrible concept. Haven't I been saying this since it was unveiled?

Or were you asking why it's failing in Japan specifically?

I just asked in general... To me, it's quite an awesome concept - but I haven't had the chance to try it out, so... yeah... But I understand why it's no new Wii; touchscreens and tablets aren't a novelty these days - but it might have been if Apple hadn't launched the iPad, and when that was released it was too late for Nintendo to change direction.

But how is it you think it's a bad concept?

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

If Wii U is doing this poorly in Japan with a Mario, then the PS4 doesn't stand a chance (in Japan).

its selling better then 360, for one reason only, system was sold out, a aweek after launch in the us, it basically missed the holiday shopping season, as i stated before xbox 1 outsold wiiu by almosty 2-1 in same time frame in npd, i will take your bet what ever it might be.

Let's just give Vita more time, it can still turn things around. But Wii U is clearly dead, nothing can save it, let's bury it.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Cool. It is a long way to go but if WiiU will not sell 25mil WW, you will choose my avatar, signature (for a month) and I will give you my Prepaid credit card pin code for a day!

 

On the other side I am sure that Wii U will sell at least 25mil WW before the end of 2015. in that case I will take control of your avatar and signature for a month.

 

DEAL??? 



Switch!!!
