Forums - Sales - Is Wii U's YTD numbers the worst ever for a main console?

 

Those numbers are...

Fine. Shortages 79 43.17%
 
Good enough 54 29.51%
 
Excelent 16 8.74%
 
That's very good 9 4.92%
 
Indeed, very good 21 11.48%
 
Total:179

 

Honestly, 1.8m in 11 months? With 5 weeks left and a estimate (a generous one) of 1M left for this holidays, that's not even 3M in the first full year in the makert. Is this the worst one for a main homeconsole in its first year?

I know Virtual Boy and all that, but I'm talking about main consoles. Do Dreamcast had in its first year this disastrous numbers?

don't worry, wii u will be the best selling home console of 2014. plenty of threads on here stating that as fact, surely it will happen.dc did better. ps3 sold 7 million in 2007. wii u won't come close to that.



And that is with 3d mario and pikmin.

All has to do with its name.



I love how people say 2014 will be the year of the comeback. How can you ignore increased competition and games for the PS4 and Xb1?

I don't think so. MK-SSB better release soon and near form each other to try to make a bigger bump, but not sure it will do good.

I was shocked when I see that number. How Nintendo let this happen?

There are plenty of home consoles that have done worse than the Wii U. A lot of companies entered the market due to the profits that Atari and, later on, Nintendo made. Their consoles got wiped off the face of the earth one after another, including Atari themselves.

But all those are from other minor companies, isn't it? I mean, Atari was big, just as Sega, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft. But what other companies or home consoles? CD-i?
