Cool, thanks for posting.

@pezus, you just can't help yourself it seems. The mods should be more strict on stealth-trolling

What exactly do you classify as stealth-trolling? This is sort of funny coming from a guy that bases entire threads around stealth-trolling (source: Uncharted review thread).

I dont know about stealth trolling, but you were taking sneaky jabs at both the Wii U and Halo 4.

Oh come on...Wii U is doing poor and are we not supposed to say it? 

Halo 4? You will have to show me where I did that. This is what I said:

"Nobody has mentioned the software much, but it looks like FC3 is certainly undertracked, as well as Skylanders. Halo 4 could be a bit overtracked, but I think it's just in a lower position than on VGC because some other titles are undertracked. Could be spot on."

How the F is this a "sneaky jab"? Please, do tell me

Someone mentioned another game being overtracked and the first game you dragged into it was Halo 4 and there is the quoting of old posts about the Wii U selling poorly.

Youre on a witch hunt. Looking for things not there

Uh, do you know why I dragged Halo 4 into it? Because they're both 3 places down from the VGC placements. ZaneWane decided to post about Ni no Kuni, even though it was just as much "down" as Halo 4, and since Zane is a known Xbox fan I asked him about Halo to question his reasoning. Read my whole posts...

You really don't need to answer to them.

I think its insane to see how a console can survive with CoD and Halo alone.
Microsoft surely did a good job - Low investment while everyone else has to put out tons of exclusives and new IPs.

Will be interesting to see if the Fanbase in the USA is that easy to satisfy in the NextGen too or if they start to want variety and a big library of games.

We don't really have confirmation for any sales; the only thing we know for certain at this point is the 360 and general ranges for Wii U and PSV. On the SW side, we have the best-selling 11 games but that's it, no figures.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

WiiU is saved!

According to CNET it sold 57k, NOT 55k!

http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-57569583-235/uh-oh-nintendo-sold-57000-wii-u-units-in-the-u.s-in-january/

Good news everyone! Seriously though, every unit counts now.

We can round up to 60k

60k? SAVED!!! 

Ah, still tragic though, but every k makes a big difference.

Might be tragic, but at least it's almost 2x Vita.

lol it sure is :)

Still the Vita wasn't released 3 months ago, so if you put things in perspective, the Wii U is doing worse actually.

I say drop the price of both those devices and save the industry; Sony and Nintendo.

I never understood this. Consoles never sell their best in their first year on the market, or their second. It's normally the third and fourth, when the consoles are at their peak, there's a steady flow of game releases, the general public know about the system and devs have had time to get used to the console where it sells the most. So the Vita should be selling above the Wii U (not to include the fact that it's a handheld which always sell more as a general rule) because of all the mentioned reasons, yet it's just above 60% of the "new" console. 

The Vita is in a far worse position; at least Nintendo have some massive games on the way and have the money in the bank to cut the price if they want to.

It's actually the other way round. Vita has awesome games to be released pretty much every month now, while Wii U has nothing coming this year. You should get ready to seeing Vita get ahead of Wii U quite often this year. In fact I can easily see Vita outselling Wii U in the period January-September, especially if Sony cuts the price of hardware. I'm finishing the period on September, because we have no announcements about the the last 3 months thus far.

The thing about Wii U doing so bad right now is because it's still in the launch window. Console should be doing well in the launch window, the slump usually comes after it. Unfortunately Wii U started slumping pretty much two weeks after the release, when hype and excitement about a new product should still be selling hardware.

And what Vita games are you on about the only "big releases" I can think of are Soul Sacrifice end of April and maybe killzone in September?
