Yeah, it's not doing great. The holiday spike should have set in by now, instead it appears to be headed down farily quickly from a rather short bump due to a price cut.
I think my conservative year-end prediction will be a massive fail, it will likely end up at half that or there about.

One can hope that they'll be able to make the Wii U profitable at least somewhere around Q2 2014, the software sales are a bit slow to cover the losses in a meaningful way.

By the way, don't you mean Q3 and Q4?

In Wii U`s defense, we still have to see how the new bundles will fair to see how it could do during the holidays.

Black Friday will be huge as usual, and there are always enticing bundles released in November. The numbers will go up for sure, I think the Wii U will have a decent holiday season, the big question is what kind of drops will it have in Q1 2014? For now, Nintendo should focus on increasing value by boxing in even more software and work on online features and content to please existing customers and stimulate them to buy more games.



So it's already sold more than half of what is sold during the entire first half of the FY?

Relatively speaking, that's a massive increase.
From 18k per week to 68k per week.

And if I may ask the OP, how did you get that chart to display properly? I tried making one in a thread I made on Amazon rankings, and it wouldn't work. Couldn't resize either the chart or the individual cells. What browser are you using?


I use Chrome and set the table width to 200. I'm no expert, just tried and it worked.

So for you, going down 5% weekly in the US from an almost 300% boost from a pricecut after being in effect for 5 full weeks is *fairly quickly*. Not to mention it boosted Europe sales by 600% and it has been in effect there for a 4 vgchartz weeks or 3 full weeks. Even if sales are still bad, i'd say that if an HD remake+a small price cut (If we can even count it as one seeing there was already a 300$ model available since launch), it is safe to say that mario 3D world+ the usual holiday spike should lead it to a great holiday season. And as tbone said, that holiday boost you were referring to starts in november... not in october.
