Its sales will plummet straight back down. Its how Japan is. If the title continues to sell well then expect a ever so slight sustained bump by a few k at most.

I wouldn't be so sure.

This is Nintendo's latest console afterall, not just another sofware release, and it has yet to really take off in its homeland.

If the Average Joe (or Watanabe) is finally buying in to the Wii U, then he might be telling his pals that they should too.

Hey Tbone is the music game for WiiU releasing on the 13,15 or 22nd of Novemeber in Japan because it could give WiiU a decent bump before Mario beats everything if it released on the 13th or 15th



bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

From 25k worldwide a couple months back to 38k in Japan alone. A lot of it is probably down to the family hardware bundle that included a wii fit u meter.

I thought this bundle would help sales in Japan but I was predicting at a max it would sell about 15k.

A lot of negativity surrounding the wii u is fading away and more so as people begin to compare it better with the other next gen systems.

Those recent low Japan numbers were people holding off for the price cut and bundles, everyone loves a bargain :)

Shows which games resonate with Gamers. Need more of those : )



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

It'll be interesting seeing MP island tour sales in each region, japan should do by far the best
