i called this months ago about Wii U.

I also said the same about Vita, i should be the REAL Pachter :D

Now for Ps4 and 720 i preditc both to start selling shitloads amounts of units because hardcore gamers want something new, i expect those Console to have huge months following holidays.

But on Holidays Xbox 360 will still dominate this year Ps4 and 720.

My eyes teared up from laughing so much! Hilarious.

WiiU is not a console that brings groundbreaking new experiences to the table, its too expensive, its the most expensive console Nintendo ever launched, couple that with Nintendo's trouble in making the transition to the HD era and you have the recipe of a failure.

Nintendo really overestimated their new console, they thought they'd capture the casual market again, but it failed. All it has going for it is "the new way of gaming", thats how it is marketed and its not working. Back in 2010 when tablets were uncommon, it would've been big, but today we have $199 Nexus 7s etc.

I´m shocked :(

From record high with the Wii to record low with Wii U.

I know it's been said before but damn that 55k Wii U figure. That is beyond terrible. At this point no one can really sound overly dramatic. Next-Gen two way race confirmed.

ROLF

What will Wii U numbers for February be like?

35k?

It's the first time I can not find a Nintendo PR after the NPD release.
