Assassins Creed IV deserves to sell well, it's the best one I've played.. and probably a top 2 game I've played this year..

KZ unfortunately should have sold better..

I need to play ACIV... I didn't like the others but I want to give a new chance.

Now Killzone have a boring SP and a amazing MP... overall it is a 7/10 game for me.

FFS 3DS! Understandable though considering the new launches. Thought it might take the attention off other consoles. Still sucks ass..

STILL no PS4 numbers? What the hell Sony?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I'm curious to see what the original Wii sold too. I don't think X360 will pass it in the US until mid-2014 if Wii did around say, 150-200k this month. X360 is around 40.4m in the US now, Wii probably is about 41.5m.

I agree with above post, simply releasing the Wii U around next gen would have increased brand awareness inmensely. Simply put, more people would know about the console. Also, Nintendo need to retire Mario for a few years, it's suffering from some franchise fatigue, I think. I hope these terrible Wii u sales will mean some drastic changes at NHQ

Sony whatever they shipped is sold, so up to DEC 1st, ps4 is at 2.1 million

I'm glad I sold my stock in Nintendo back in late November, had a healthy return.

Nintendo did okay with 3DS, surprised it did not do better with Pokemon supporting the handheld and the holiday season but Wii U results are simply embarrassing, especially 3D World numbers - the game is a goddam gem.


Still feel like having that champagne with popcorn?

I am having some nonetheless. There is nothing that will change that :)

Gaming did well as a whole this November, but the lack of 3DS sales and ''return to form for Wii U'' given Mario is quite frankly disheartening.

I think the Wii U a better console than Wii but it fall with no hype... if it was launched together with PS4/Xbone I think it will do way better because the market is on fire right now for the new things... at the Wii U launch not because the countries are having some kind of ressession.
