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


Think Wonderful 101 deserves a nice X about now :P



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

So, our only hope now is MK, firing Iwata and Megaman in Smash.



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


What a crappy poll. Where's the option for "no console has sold as little as this ever before"?

Can anyone name another console that has sold less in a year. I know the discontinued Dreamcast did better!

Nope!

Playstation 1 - Cumulative sales from launch in Dec. '94 to March of '96 - 4.3 Million.

And that is with 3d mario and pikmin.

All has to do with its name.

That's the worst reason, areason.

There are definitely consoles that have done worse. Case in point, Rol's post.



Its definetly the worst selling Nintendo Homeconsole. Unless you count the Virtualboy as Homeconsole. Other companies failed harder though so no.

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

Dreamcast sold around 10 million in two years. But Saturn has also only something about 10 million and sold for a longer time.

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [GTA6]

Sega Saturn I'm pretty sure sold less, though it seemed to do well in Japan, so that might not even be correct.
