Zelda, Smash, and Wii sports 2/3 will be what turns things around. These are nice distractions though. For now.


Dont forget about Mario Kart, 3D Mario and DKC, all three of those series consistently sell over 5 million


Lol, over 5 million? One of those has sold over 30 million and the other is on it way to sell over 20 milliion.

Yes I know, I was just pointing out that even the worst selling games in those series still pass 5 million

It's impressive considering how small the franchise is. Shit will get real this October.

It's a good thing.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

Where do you work? My Walmart was actually out of Wii U's for the first time since last December.

"Pikmin does not move consoles."

I think I've heard someone mention that...

October will be the month to watch. We will only get rumblings until then. How the hell Iwata expects to sell 9 million Wii Us by March though is beyond me. Either he's lost his mind, or he has something huge up his sleeve which hasn't been announced yet. Being way off on his sales estimations too many times could get him sacked so I think he really believes he can achieve those numbers.

If mario kart cames before march bundled with wii U for 300$, i can see they reaching 9 mil til march easily.
is what i think they must do.
wait the new ps4 and xbox one cold down a little and then launch this bundle.
