I wonder if they're channel stuffing a bit though, went to two Best Buys yesterday and both were fully stocked with the Zelda Wii U bundle and it didn't look they had sold many (and by many I mean none at all, though maybe they sold a few and brought extra units out from the stock room).

The 2DS seems to be moving well though and the Pokemon X/Y hardware bundles were completely sold out.


doesn't mean anything remember Spurge's Walmart had 10 wiiu then 2 in the next day? Sales that week in US were around 10-12k soooooooo yeahhhhhh lol. 2DS needs alot more marketing. $129+ Pokemon X Y= Great Time (Kids) SavingMoney (Audults)

The Wii U is the one that needs a lot of marketing, 2DS/3DS seems to be selling alright (it'll never be the DS, but as well as can be expected with a changed marketplace).

Of course WiiU needs life! 3DS is good, im not saying this directly at you but why do people say it'll never be the DS? I mean DS is the fastest selling gaming Handheld/Console ever created. Some people think 3DS is a failure or not up to expectation cuz its not selling near DS levels?

Its like if a football team wins a super bowl with a record of 19-0 then the following year they win again but with 16-3! They still F***ing won lol! Dont knowhy  i needed to say that? (not directed at you ) 

3DS/2DS+WiiU will have a great holiday and next year will be the year of WiiU (like this year was 3DS

Nintendo will rules this year Xmas when it come to video game console for kids under 13 years old and female gamers. Also, any family with a limited budget will not even consider PS4 and Xbox One this year.

2011 holiday season brought the 3DS out of the graveyard and made it into a commercial success. Nintendo might be 2 for 2 with the WiiU this year.

I wouldn't be surprise if Nintendo manage to sell well over 5 million WiiU in October to December. Nintendo should have more then 10 million console on the market by March 2014.

That;s not suprising every hardcore gamers are waiting for PS4 and Xbox One and Christmas shopping normally starts in November.

Black Friday sales with reveal the true picture.

Honestly I'd rather get Nintendo Land. After getting both SM3DL and NSMB2, I'm pretty burnt out on Mario platformers right now. None of this will matter though if they have a MK8 bundle!

Personally judging by its reception I think the Wii U is just another GameCube (more or less) for Nintendo.

Without a new Wiimote like hook to set the market on fire, they've simply reverted back to their old console trend. Outside of Nintendo fans online, I just get zero sense of any enthusiasm for this product within the regular general public, it's the complete inverse of the original Wii.

2DS/3DS being the spiritual successor to the Game Boy/DS lines always came from a higher pedigree even though Nintendo is facing the auxiliary competetion from mobile smart devices, they still have some room to operate there.

And the gamecube was doing well^ the problem is it came out too late and had perception issues. But as long as it got games it didnt matter for it.

Then it stopped getting games.

The WiiU however is in itself a different situation. But it does carry some of the same issues. Issues that will be dealt with in time.

We're talking about the same GameCube that Nintendo had to stop production of in mid-generation because retailers didn't want to order any more inventory, no?

The N64 sold reasonably ok ... GameCube was considerably worse, Wii U is worse still thus far.
