Wii U + Vita
Yokai Watch is close to 200k. Some great legs right there. Luigi's Mansion 2 is slowly crawling towards the 1million mark. Might be close depending on digital sales.

Except for 3ds, all the rest can be discontinued that will not make difference.


Dude, it's so eerie that I was going to make this exact same comment. However, I would add the Ps3. It is more than twice the third place machine and sells in the 10s of thousands consistantly

Wow at Wii U. I mean, the Vita is bad but that has a reason with the new model tomorrow. With Zelda out last week, where's your excuse Wii U?

There's 2 new WiiU superbundles incoming. Try again.

But these are new bundles, not a price cut or a redesign. And with the biggest game for a while releasing and sales hovering around their all time low a mere week later...doesn't look good for the immediate future of the system.

I keep thinking those bundles are great but adding a deluxe with nsmbu for 27000 yen would make it perfect. It will probably do well since wii party sold much more in japan even with a smaller installed base.

You also gotta ask... how much will those bundles actually do? I'm gonna say it won't give it enough of a boost to be really relevant in the long term

to anyone interested on getting either nsmbu, wii party u or both with their wii u purchase, these bundles save a lot of money.

I agree, not a substantial one. Should've had a price cut really. There's no competition for next gen in Japan, so there should really be an effort ramped up.

It would surprise me greatly if you said otherwise.

That may be the case. However, it's evident that right now the demand really isn't there for one reason or another, sadly. it may change at some point, but these bundles will not be the cause of it.
