Good for you Wii U. Now you just need to keep it there.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I am pleased.

Everything is higher than I predicted in one of (I assume) tbone's threads. US software, EU software, worldwide and hardware too !

This demonstrates that Wii U can sell when it gets desirable software. It's just that it has lost all its momentum in the Q1/2 drought and has to build it back up again.
It will truly hit its stride once the heavy hitters like Mario Kart and Smash Bros. are out.
Other exclusives like 3D World, Sonic Lost World, Bayonetta 2, X, Donkey Kong Country, and Zelda U will help also.

When you say "will truly hit its stride", do you mean for real or in the "Monster Hunter will come to Vita" style?

Then again, there are bigger mysteries to solve. How come that an exclusive's (Sonic Lost World) MSRP is €50 while ports regularly go for €60-70?

Hey, porting to a more powerful system, and then taking out features is a lot more expensive than developing a ground-up exclusive Wii U game, you know.

And that happens when GTA V is giving the current systems a great boost. X360 was showing sales similar to 80.000 before that if I'm not wrong.

You act as if you want Nintendo to fail... Have some hope man. Nintendo's buisness works like this, it's to build up its library (slowly but surely) and get an audience going for them.

Yes, the WiiU is clearly getting more sales after nintendo releases, and since they have many upcoming releases in time for holiday season, they will rocket on charts

Wii U will sell about 3.5mil this next 3 months... Ps4 will sell 4mil in a month..


Sony is aiming for over 5 million by april next year. How do you expect them to sell 4 mill a month?

Yes... and projections change. Just ask Nintendo about the Wii U's start. If Sony is selling better than expected they can produce more... Again, just ask Nintendo about the Wii's start. Now, Sony has taken over a million pre-orders in countries that will launch in November and has repeatedly said they will produce more than that for people who hadnt preordered... They will sell nearly half of 4 million in November alone... Now, unless Sony doesn't produce anymore in December then I can not see less than 2million sales for the month. In January - March Sony will produce about a million more to reach their 5million... these are typical sales

that is nobodies business....

Ok, seriously? Mobile systems are cheaper at release, so it is obvious why it has sold more, but now nobody touches the VITA, so there is no discussion there with Sony outselling Wii U

Seriously? LOL! You don't think by Dec. 31st Ps4 will have 4mil sold when Sony has over 1 million in preorders and will "have a lot more for people who didn't preorder" in November alone? Seriously? Sony will sell like 1 million in US then two weeks later they have BF. If you seriously don't think Sony is going to sell out of what they ship this year you are the one who needs to prepare to eat crow.
