Wii U possibly overtracked in the UK?


xbox one + ps4 = 400k consoles

therefore 200k Wii U's sold in UK. What are VGC numbers? I thought they were like 150k for wii u

I think Nintendo needs to release their black Friday PR as soon as possible because the current situation put them in a really bad situation. They need some positive news to turn it around.

Xbone did 327K in Europe while PS4 sold 250K in the UK alone ?

Impressive.

Britains done us proud! Excellent sales! Just hope this momentum can stay!


Darth?! O_o

OT: Great for the PS4, but with these launches out of the way, I'm more excited to see the 3DS shine now

Unless it's that bad that releasing it would just be embarrassing. The 3DS would have cleaned up on black friday, the Wii U... we'll soon know

195k apparently, http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly/2013/UK/

So maybe slightly overtracked considering there needs to be stock on shelves, but then again Wii U stock is not likely to be high at current (low) sales.

1,2M max in Europe, why ?

Because of not enough shipments ... too bad, we will never see what PS4 would do !


Otherwise, amazing sales in UK, rumor said UK have 300k shipments, it might be true !
Outsells Wii U LTD in UK in only 48h and with not enough shipments, impressive !

250k huh? That's a very high number. I would even say an arrogant number to sell so much. Sony back to it's 2006 self :-/



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
