Geez, and I thought VGC had overdone it with the Wii U adjustments.  Even with that it was 43-72% overtracked.

Ouch Wii U...


did you give up on the vita already

Only time I've ever talked bout Vita was when Koenicki was downplaying it hardcore. Other than that, I've never gave the Vita two thoughts

You Sound like you care for Wii U then :P

 

Ok carry on my fellow VGCharter

Im so disappointed with Wii U sales, even after adjustments it was overtracked

Wii U and Vita ... they are good platforms, but honestly the market is not responding to them at all. People simply don't want them.

I'm thinking 300k for Wii U in November. Which will be well below the GameCube's November 2002.

I feel bad for Super Mario 3D World, it deserves to be going to a higher userbase than this.

WiiU at 512k in the US so far this year.

Lol at Nintendo not sharing the WiiU numbers, they must have been catastrophic.

The last paragraphs simply embarrass me. The desperation Nintendo is showing with regards to its home console is alarming.

3DS doing good, Pokemon overtracked by around a million, but if we add all of the Americas that may go down to 800k or so.


What desperation? I don't see Reggie, Iwata nor any Nintendo employee twiting like stupids, doing useless Nintendo Directs or anything like that. 

What I do think is that they are really dissapointed, but not desperate. Way to go to tell things. 


You have non existant analitical capabilities. You can't read between lines. Please, re-read those paragraphs once again. Watch the latest commercials. Then after you take your Ninty glasses off, we can speak coherent things.

Nintendo is desperate, there's no denying. Disappointed doesn't exist in the world of business, and less so when billions are in stake. The strategy is leading to nowhere and sales are plummeting. Nothing is working. You either retire the console that's draining money from your company or you retire the direction. No more excuses. Thankfully serious enterprises don't listen to people who say, "just pat them in the back, the Wii U will be just fine in the end, just like in all kids movies, happy endings come, we just gotta wait for x, y and z to arrive, and that will show them haters".

The situation is terrible and critical. If Holidays go wrong for the Wii U, drastic things will happen.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

I was expecting 600k a piece. Now? Meh I really don't know. Super Mario 3D can only do so much. 400k a piece.

Oct - Nov jump is typically in a x4 - x6 range. I mean to reach 500k WiiU needs to x10 over October ...

Thats only like 12k a week. Will they even sell 500k in the next two months?

Yes they should, Nintendo generally gets more generous bumps around the holidays. 

I would say 300k for November and 450k for December. Keep in mind, these sales are nothing to really celebrate even if they can reach that level.  

If its lower than that, it's really catastrophic, Nintendo will need to seriously consider a price collapse to $199.99 for 2014 minus the tablet pad around Mario Kart 8 launch IMO.
