Added WiiU numbers!



Nice Wii U bump

Much higher than I expected.



In the past 6 weeks I saw more people buying a Wii U than any other console, with the exception of the ps3 gta v bundle

in reference to KH3 release date

Let`s see how sustained is the push for Wii U, specially now that Wii U is getting the retail version of WW worldwide.

Could have done better if it wasn`t for GTA V, which made sales for PS3 and XB360 go way up.

i was thinking the same! 2nd week should do good, third week+4th week hopefully better than 2nd week. My prediction is (in order of 2nd-4th week) 16k~35k~25k



It doubled the Wii U, though I have a feeling a Zelda title/bundle played a big part of that. Mario 3D World is going to be absolutely huge this holiday.

The pre price-cut figure for the Vita is also kind of misleading since it was 4k something every dang week before the Target price-slash (No idea why it went up the week right before that, though. Maybe retailers knew what was coming and were pushing harder with placement in their own ways?), and the first full week of the OFFICIAL Sony pricecut was 9,856 (since the week the week before only includes 3 days of the official price drop).

So yeah, both about doubled. The Vita a little more than I expected (expected a dead in the water 20% jump) but still dead numbers, and the Wii U a little less than I expected but actually pretty decent numbers.

According to SpurgeRyan, Wii U (in it`s second week) is still selling very well. So, it should really keep doing well and with the price effect taking place in Europe next week, the momentum will be kept.

Assuming these are US predictions, why would sales from the week with two days of the retail release of Wind Waker be almost as much as the previous two weeks combined?  Unless there is some other game I'm not aware of.  I can't imagine there are a huge number of people without a Wii U that will pass on the bundle for two weeks and then buy Wind Waker standalone and a Wii U on launch day.

Ehhhhh... I wouldn't take much stock in anything one individual says.  Store I work with has sold <5 Zelda Wii U bundles since the pricecut.  I don't know how many Wii U Nintendolands we sold, but we only had a handful left and we still had it.

I don't bring that up to discredit the Wii U, just to discourage the use of annecdotal evidence.
