Those sales are not horrible.


So you are honestly telling me that November 23rd 2012 to November 23rd 2013 1.8million sold is not horrible for a home console? Okay

It's surprisingly bad. While some of the decisions Nintendo made with the Wii U hardware and marketing were off in my opinion, I never expected the console would sell this bad. It's like the entire world said, "We've played enough Mario and your other franchises. Give us something new!"

Hehe, perfect.

And agree in the fact that this is very surprising.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Maybe you should read again the OP and thread's title.

Possibly. I'll be more concerned and even slightly impressed if they manage to do as bad or worse in 2014.

I remember that trolling chalkboard for "Games that will save the PS3" in the early years of last gen. We going to bring that out for the WiiU? :P



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Why is that.. oh you're only looking at 2013 sales and ignoring launch Nov/Dec.

Yeah, 2013 is pretty horrible for Wii U.
