What's the reason for WiiU dropping so low? It's not getting a price cut or a game soon, is it?


Bundles at the end of the month. It doesn't dropbut i think they give you a couple accessories and 2 games. Look at the last two pages somebody posted pics

Yeah I see it now. That will be a hell of a long time with awful WiiU sales until the bundles. Are Wii Fit U/Party U released the same week?

Actually yes. And no, I wouldn't know what Nintendo's thinking is behind that decisionXD



David Gibson posted on Twitter about MH4 and Pokemon X/Y.

"Enterbrain -MH4 its sold/shipped ratio is 99.6% which means almost zero inventory at retail and thats almost 3 weeks after launch."

"Enterbrain - JP retailers saying MH4 is still sold out, Pokemon X/Y already sold out ahead of launch and MH4 will benefit (users buy both)"

I can't wait for next week's numbers.

Think Vita might get close to 100k (maybe 150k?). 


You may wish to rethink those predictions.

Japanese love this kind of shit :P It's the PSV Lite and 6 new colours. I wouldn't be surprised if it did well.

Its doing okon Amazon, highest is at #40 in the top 100, but 10 3ds's are in the top 40 O.o I think 70-90k is a better guess. Pokemon releases this week as well

You consistently come into every thread bashing on the WiiU, and i dont see the point of arguing with you. The others came with plenty of counter arguments while I was away, and i didn't consider adding to that. The bundle is only 30k yen excl. taxes. Its equal to 300 USD and it will help drive momentum as its followed by Mario 3D World shortly thereafter alongside Taiko no Tatsujin U leading into the holidays.


I don't think you know what consistant or bashing means. No one presented counter arguments.

O.O. I'm thinking 40-50k. I will be very surprised if it does 70k+ :O

really!? 6 colors has to do good? I know its not tht big of a model change but still!

doesn't it release on the 24th?


As Yakuza says: 1 2 3 4, Amazon has all the bundles listed for the 31st.  Rayman is 17th and Sonic 24th, so they're the only things I can see stopping Wii-U from plummeting even lower over the next 3 weeks.  I wouldn't get my hopes up for either of them given their pedigree in Japan.

Next week doesn't have anything though, and between Pokemon/New Vita I'm not sure you should expect anything from Wii-U.  Maybe increased footfall in stores will help, but increased competition will probably be detrimental.  

wii party U is 25th (the game, not the bundle).



By how much is MH4 lagging behind MHP3rd now?

Not enough.
