So the general VGC user now thinks that calling horrible sales horrible is trolling?

No.

Get a grip. Stop being sensitive about the sales of a videogame system.

The Wii U just sold like shit. It sold like a console on life support in its last Months. Its shocking, nobody expected it. Its dropped below any other home console for Years in its THIRD MONTH ON THE MARKET.

Pezus isnt trolling - Hes saying it exactly how it is.

I don't know if you are talking about me and others but nonetheless I will clarify the misconception around my comment. My comment was directed towards users who, whenever the oportunity occurs, continually bash Nintendo as a company regardless of positive or negative news. If one reads the thread more thoroughly from the begining, you will see where I am getting at.

Pesuz was and stll is right, these numbers are abysmal and disappointing. Aint nobody should claim otherwise.

Does anyone know how the 3DS did?

Both Nintendo and Sony did not announce any numbers, January was a horrible month, I'm shocked that it's worse than VGC outlined. :(

And for those who are trolling

Sony usually doesn't post numbers, regardless of how well the PS3 has done, so we can't tell anything from this.  However, Nintendo usually always puts out a PR statement, even if sometimes they have to add some spin to it.  The fact that there is nothing from them says a lot.  Using MS release we can calculate Wii and PS3's numbers, though.  MS was at 44% of current gen HW with 281K.  This leaves ~358K for the Wii and PS3.  I can't see the Wii being over 120K, which is still up ~20% YOY, so that leaves 238K for the PS3. 

Now, some people think MS added the Wii U into those numbers, but I highly doubt it for two reasons.  First, MS stated specifically "current gen."  They could have just said all home consoles, as Wii U is the only next gen console out at the moment.  And secondly, if they had included the Wii U in the current gen equation, this would have been a cheap shot.  This is an official press release, not some random statement from an exec or an ad for the NeXbox.  They wouldn't have used a press release to take a cheap shot at the competition, as it would look unprofessional.

So i guess we won't hear Nintendomination much this gen



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Train wreck on 15 February 2013

so both the xbox and ps3 are up y/y with the extra week, kinda amazing, 3DS down y/y even with an extra week. That has to be alarming.

Thanks @Nsanity
Super Thanks @creamsugar (like usually)

So we with these numbers I can say for sure not included Wii U.

~225k PS3
~125k Wii

That's give us 350k... close to 357k for the 56% market share.

With Wii U the numbers have to be less than 200k or 100k to give us less than 300k.
