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. 

Erm...I think you mean overtracked...

Settle down Jamie



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Gran Turismo 6 didn't even chart.


Icing on the cake.

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. 


Honestly Sony can't sell software for sh*t the last two holidays. 

LBP Karting - Bomb

Playstation All-Stars - Bomb

GT6 - Dissapointment

Killzone Vita - Bomb

Tearaway - Bomb

Puppeteer - Bomb

They need third parties to carry them. Uncharted 4 will sell great though, so I guess there's that.

What this talk about GT6?

Nobody expected it to chart because the the last position in TOP10 sold ~700k... it did less than that for sure in US.

GT5 did 500k in Dec and 300k in Nov.... 800k total in US.

Can someone explain me how the hell did the 360 manage to outsell Ps3? Did it got a bundle or something?

 

What the hell?

Congrats to MS.  Of course, I doubt the gap is that large.  And I'm sure Sony would have beat them if they had actually been able to get out more consoles.  It's cool, though.  Xbox fans can have this one.  MS needs to focus on the US, where they actually seem to stand a chance, while Sony can have the world. 


Wait there are supply's issue in US ? In Europe everyone is yelling that US has all the stock.

Lol, there's supply issues pretty much everywhere.  Sony made sure most of there stock got to the US, at least that's what a representative from Sony UK said, so I don't think the gap is that large in the US.  Still they have 40+ other countries they are trying to get supply to all over the world, where MS can just focus their stock in the US, as it's not selling gangbusters everyhwere else.


Okay and with Japan soon.

Sounds like 3DS is down year over year. Odd with Pokemon + 2DS.

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.

Eh.... that's pretty unlikely.  Why would someone make a point that the console sales in December were the highest for the year when basically EVERY system sells the most in December?  It would be a pretty weird statement.  We probably won't see actual numbers from Nintendo.
