Funny, but on the GC, the original Pikmin did just over what this one did first week in japan, and it was closer to the holidays.

Makes me thing that the Wii U will do much better than the GC.

That was on an install base of only 217k before it released.  It also boosted hardware higher than the Wii U (though a smaller percentage increase) from 10,100 to 25,224.  Being closer to the holidays also means it will likely take more advantage of them.  Pikmin will sell 156k in the last three weeks of the year.  After 11 weeks it is at 366k.

Pikmin is not bad, not good either, and WiiU could've needed an extra push.

DK is doing fairly good, and Luigi is on it's way to 1m.

Decent week for Nintendo, but they do need to start pumping WiiU games.

I expected Pikmin 3 to sell +150k which is dissappointing imo. But WiiU sales have surpassed my expectations.

Weird.

btw I was first :P but yours is better


when vita had a boost in performance after a game release you said it was proof that Vita was a potential godmine.

this was in September of 2012 where you made some startling predictions of how Vita would truly shine in 2013... how did that play out?

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=147281

so I'm not sure I trust your judgement.


I said Vita had potential. It was in a period where Vita was selling 5-6k a week, then Hatsune Miku comes out and Vita does 10x better. Both software and hardweare grew.

How is that even comparable to this situation? Minimal hardware boost by a Nintendo franchise which does almost 100k.



Roma on 17 July 2013

yup almost got it in my prediction! 100K is what I thought it would get though after the pikmin thread stating it did NSMBU numbers I wanted to increase my prediction but I was to lazy

good thing :P

22k WiiUs sold is good I guess



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

You are not a complete idiot. You answered your question. It's Pikmin. Not Mario.

Honestly, your response only highlights your bias further.
