Forums - Sales - WiiU sells ~220k, Mario 215k in November. 3DS 770k, Zelda 405k (NPD USA) - Nintendo

trestres on 12 December 2013

I'm afraid of buying a WiiU now, not gonna spend 300 dollars on a console that might get slashed pretty soon. And Nintendo acts as if nothing's going on.

Seriously, Wii U is now officially being Dreamcasted. They might want to carry on the console for 4 more years with terrible losses or just give up on the Home console business. Unless miracles happen, that's the only 2 options they have.

9 million Wii U sold during the FY, 1 Billion operating profit and the HW forecasts predictions will fall short so badly (Wii U will be lucky to sell 4 million on the FY), and serious consequences will arise from that during the shareholders roundtable for the end of the FY. Won't be surprised if there are resignations en masse, or if stocks drop to abysmal and scary levels. Won't even be surprised if there's physical violence during the presentation, to be honest.

Nintendo probably let their only chance to recover fly past. Farewell.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

To be fair patches was very close much closer then vgchartz 220k is still horrible

No, he was farther off than vgchartz. Vgchartz predicted 250k which was 30k off. Pachter predicted 150k which was 70k off.

Says a lot of things:

Nintendo as a brand has beyond peaked in its biggest market.
Mario fatigue has set in, hell nintendo franchise fatigue has set in
Nintendo still hasnt sold its original prediction of 5.5 million Wii U's
2DS is looking more and more like a mistake

Maybe this is Nintendo's final home console...

What chance?

And this was hard to read.

Chance of releasing something relevant during its first year on the market, with such a headstart.

What was so hard to read?

Hard to believe just how badly they're doing right now. It looks pretty hopeless from here.

How is the 2DS a mistake?
