What I'm missing?

 


3D Mario
2D Mario
2D Luigi

+ pick one from Killzone & Knack.  Personally, I'd pick Killzone.

Well, since there only four spots left i would say cod, killzone, bf4 on ps4 for sure.  Then a toss up between super mario and assasins creed.

FIFA and Assassins Creed you have to remove because they are released in Xbone too.

3D Mario is certain.

Seriously, I didn't predict the Wii U to do so well. If, indeed, it is official (I doubt)


Nintendo fans ^^ xD

me too, i honestly thought both 3DS and WiiU would be HEAVILY undertracked this NPD. im eating so much crow for my wrong predictions xD

obviously, this is good news for those who thought WiiU to be another Vita, as Nintendo managed to make the WiiU go up YoY in the holidays compared to where sony didnt manage to do so with Vita. WiiU might be selling meh, but its not dead in the usa.

So much for GT6.

People need to really understand how amazing it is that Nintendo keeps their franchises relevant for so long, it's not an easy thing to do.

I hope you're going to post in the GT7 thread when its released.  I think you're going to be disapointed.

Any Wii U numbers ?

Apparently this is the best month on the market for the Wii U.  IF this is true AND the numbers we have for older months are accurate that means

a) Wii U is over 511K for the month.

b) Wii U is being heavily undertracked.

511k is actually very good for a dead console (at least according to few ). Good job Nintendo!


If Wii U got over 511k with just SM3DW, then this generation is going to a 3 horse race again.   I thought 400k was fair, but anything over half a million would a big suprise.

You may have moved too early BananaKing. What was the Wii U in it's debut NPD? I'm seeing 425k, so indications are Wii U rather handily undertracked.

That's a turnout for the books, eh?


then happy gifs?! need some help? i got some good happy dance gifs? i shall join you! 

but lets wait until we are sure. 

also, Jan NPD will be as interesting as this one.

It is times like this you must return to the classics:

Seriously, I didn't predict the Wii U to do so well. If, indeed, it is official (I doubt)

You doubt that the article is correct?

I'm not doubting that. But obviously they could just mean 2013, which would be a massive blow. It happens.

What I mean is, let's not get ahead of ourselves until we see the ACTUAL numbers.

511k..So less than 360 ?

Maybe, maybe not.  I said 511K because that's the current highest month we have on record at VGChartz.  So, if that figure is currect, and the statement is correct, it would have to be higher than 511K meaning somewhere between 511K and infinite.  Could be under 360 or could be over.  Most likely under unless the Wii U is REALLY REALLY undertracked.  Of course, that's assuming the statement and the past figures are accurate.  However, it does seem that the Wii U is undertracked at any rate.

And so is Call of duty Ghosts :P

No, since it's on both last and next gen it will be on the "new generation console game title list"


GT6 can be on the "new generation console game title list", given the fact that...Playstation Now is coming.
