Forums - Nintendo - Wii U is Performing Better Than PlayStation 3 and Vita for First 54 Weeks in Japan?

Puppyroach on 19 December 2013

We need Nintendo in the console industry, that is why they should release a new and improved console soon and cut loose the WiiU. The sales in Japan does not mean much since it is lagging soo much internationally.

What do you guys predict will happen next?

during the shortage of games people was sure that the WiiU was destine for failur. Sales seem to be putting out in all regioins, so can Nintendo Really turn this  console around? like they did with the 3DS?

First Year (52 weeks0

PS3-1,27955

WiiU-1,219,474

PSV-1,074,621

 

First 54 Weeks (WiiU LTD)

WiiU-1,343139

PS3-1,341,304

PSvita 1,110,333

 

Maybe the WiiU isnt as doom as everyone would like us to believe. Look at the Xbox One, before it even came out  base on all the hype of ps4 and everyone saying it "sucks", its selling pretty good.

well the vita is dead, it has no life, the wiiu will never reach ps3 numbers because its not gonna have thirdparty support, and it didn't start off at 599$, and won't last as long as the ps3, because ps3 is selling much better world wide then wiiu at this point.


PS3 got a pre-launch price cut, it was really close to the price of Wii U super bundles in a better economy

it could be like the 3DS a slow first year and a few monstorous years afterward

how are you comparing 430$ console vs 330 with 2 games and an extra controller, that's like a 200$ differnce right there, and just to qouting max the king, your numbers are wrong

"after 53 weeks
Wii U - 1.26mil
Ps3 - 1.34

(Your numbers are wrong)

Fact checking would help you.

On top of which, heres where your spin gets called out

Weeks till Christmas
Wii U - 1.5
Ps3 - 6.5

It helps that Wii U launched in Dec and Ps3 launched in early November.
At the end of the year Ps3 had 1.69mil. Want to do the comparison on its 60th week? that would mean Wii U needs to sell 60k a week in the next 7 weeks to accomplish Ps3 sales... do you think it will happen?"
