Anywho, I still find it funny that they call video game consoles in general "toys." I thought they were considered a seperate entity? Like, "Electronics" or something that doesn't make them seem like a companion to Barbie.

Calling consoles toys is stupid, I agree. It's a branch of consumer electronics, like phones and computers.

A positive thread about the Wii U? wait let me get my shield to protect me from the incoming storm of haters arrows and stones.

It's actually not bad. If you assume that every retailer sold 2+ wiiUs, it could actually have a 100k+ week in the US alone which is very good for the wiiU.

Yeah, why give it an award when there are virtually no deals on it? So dumb, only Best Buy ran a promo.

I just got home from working at Best Buy and while we sold about 5-8 Wii Us (Including mine,yay!) it didn't even come close to the demand for 360 or ps3. Part of it was due to not having a very attractive bundle like the PS3/360 had (PS3 Batman/Last of Us bundle sold out) but people just sort of ignored it :/ We tried though, anyone who went for the Wii Mini we made sure that they knew about the Wii U and we even made a stack of them right in between the PS3 and 360 stacks so every who got one of those saw it.

Anyways i'm happy I got mine, right now I'm going through the updates... slowly lol.

why are people butthurt every time someone put "toy" in the same sentence with play station and x box????? are they trying to prove that they are mature enough?

This is starting to make me a little uncomfortable now, there have actually been several positive Wii U articles in the past weeks, it's beginning to freak me out.

Next thing you know, Nintendo is actually going to start marketing it properly and it's going to start selling well....

Hot buttered popcorn! Hook 'em while they're young, Nintendo. That's how you get them when their older.

Wow, that is relatively a lot of wiiU's. Maybe wiiU could sell 150k+ in the US next vgchartz week? :D

Edit: Congratz on your wiiU! I really hope you bought SM3DW with it, it is definetly the best game on the system.
