Let's just do what we did this morning guys... embrace and praise the 3DS and pretend the WiiU doesn't exist.


I'm going to call it Wii Who? from now on. Or Wii Y.

OK people, time to speculate on them Ambassador games again!

I wonder, will this be a thing we do every time one of these threads come out?

Anyway I'll wait for Creamy leaks (is that right?) because this guy clearly has some ineptitude when it comes to numbers (sorry!), though I think VGC numbers won't be far off the mark, sadly.


Pretty sure I did it last month. So yeah.

"Ni No Kuni placed just outside the top ten at number eleven"

Yay!

This morning? It was mid-afternoon here! We were busy screwing the Wii U over all day before then!

But yes, if Nintendo could turn around the 3DS, why not the Wii U? They have another 8 or so months at least, and they're taking (small) steps in the right direction.

Doesn't hide the poor sales now; far from it.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Yay!

And what else released in January, again? I expect around 100k tops for January, so around 80k overtracked here at least, sadly.

Would love to be wrong, but...

So the requirements are price drop to $200, Mario Kart and one of Zelda/3D Mario/Smash to launch. Can't see any other way to match a 3DS turnaround.

Does that mean VGC tracked this adequately? You're the expert, I don't want to figure it out.



Iwata better start preparing his job resume if those numbers are true. Unreal, that's worse than the GameCube.

This and plus hype.



My feelings of the Wii U being Nintendo's new Virtual Boy is becoming more and more a reality.



Former something....
