Forums - Sales Discussion - Poland: Wii U Sales Are 350 Units In 9 Months

Mr Khan said:
It's Nintendo's biggest (real!) weakness that is never talked about: as a smaller company, they've neglected to build the supply networks that Sony and Microsoft take for granted.

Exactly the point I was making. People never consider distirbution channels as a factor. If you analyse some of the biggest companies in the world they all have strong distirubtion channels. The only way they can acheive that is through diversity of their products, which Nintendo as a small company has not.

So is Wii U the biggest flop of all times? Is it worse than the Saturn? I just don't understand why Nintendo just doesn't discontinue it and start from scratch.

And no I'm not trolling, no one wants it. That's just reality.


What? No? It's just Poland that Doesn't Give a Fuck about anything other then PS consoles/PC (and yeah, that's Msoft and Nintendo's fault). Just wait until Zelda and couple other games are released.


Lol This is PS3 fans all over again. I remember people saying "Wait until (insert game here) releases" for about 6 years straight. I just don't envision WiiU doing what PS3 has done.


We'll see. PS3 needed 2 years, 3DS about 1 and I hope Wii U also'll need only 1 year. I could accept the GC situation: not big sales, but very good games.



Why do I feel like almost no one is reading the posts here that really matter? The ones that explain fully well why the sales are that low.

A noteworthy detail - the email they give is poland@nintendo.de.

.DE - this is a German e-mail. They haven't even got a Polish one...

 

I can easily believe these numbers. The Wii U doesn't exist in Poland, I still haven't even seen the console or its box and I live in a very big city :( When I use my Wii and select Poland as my country in the settings, it blocks Internet and online play... Nintendo policy is just ridiculous. When I went to a service to get my DS fixed last year, the guy said it was the first time even that he sees a DS and he had more than 10 PSP right next to him. Somebody here said that Vita outsells 3DS 3:1 - man, you must be delirious. 3:1? There is no way in hell that 3DS sells that good. 10:1 is generous for 3DS, I'd actually think it's much worse. In fact, this is a photo of the whole Nintendo section (covering all Nintendo consoles) in the biggest games store in my city (a 1.3 mil aglomeration):

Some time ago SCE Poland has officially said that they sold 100k PS3s in less than 6 months, so PS3 is at a really good pace (I can even search for this online). I'm 100% certain that PS4 will sell over a million consoles in Poland.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I believe you Russians should keep your pieholes shut when it come to this matter... And I'm not talking about videogames.

Because Poland has always been THE Nintendoland.
I would like to know how much it has sold in my country (Latvia). Probably 35 units xD



My Etsy store

My Ebay store

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Um...the Witcher/Witcher2 and they were the first country to leave the Iron Curtain and vote for democracy.



^ Thanks Bro :D Usually foreign don't know anything about us. Although I must say that I'm pretty dissapointed about our current Parliament but that's not a disscussion for this thread.



Theyre have probably only been 350 wii u units smuggled across the border to be sold. I'm sure they don't have store after store overloaded with Wii u stock, if they did that would be disgraceful.



Ouchers



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
