Forums - Sales Discussion - WW HW and SW Up 11th January 2014

Vita numbers in the US are hideous.

But WiiU's numbers WW are worse. Not even japan can save it. Q1 will be decisive. I won't be surprise if many exclusives such as X or Bayonetta 2 are postponed or even cancelled. At least fans got Donkey Kong, Mario Kat, and smash bros.. These can't be cancelled.

Prior generation is going to need a big price cut but not for the ridiculous reasoning claimed by Patcher. (Boy is that guy an idiot. How does he get paid to talk?!?)

No publisher is going to turn down a potential market of 160 million when all they need to do is pay someone to down port the current gen game. That said, the prices need to come down and accessories need to come up. They need to hit $200 year round and have some crazy deals next Christmas at $150 to keep moving units.

as long as it stays above 40k till DK comes out its okay.


Which it won't.

And DK ain't saving nothing. It will sell well to the existing userbase but not much beyond that. The real test is Mario Kart.


its not about saving, it just have to give a little push, so wii u can stay above 40k till mK comes out. 



And people told me casuals are not buying consoles anymore.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Oh man... that Vita US numbers is just depressing, as seeing the Wii U go back to its pre-holiday numbers. :<


did people really expect Wii u to NOT go back to its pre holiday numbers? Or vita in the US to not go down?

Some did...some did. 

Who? I can literally think of zero people who would expect tha...oh


Dohohoho

Wow, PS4 outselling X1 2 to 1 in the UK? Never expected that.



Dat PS4 domination in the UK !!



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

x1 not looking good in europe. Ps4 should win npd for JAn if sony gets their head out of their arse and gets more supply out.



Oh wait ! X1 is doing 13k in the UK and 20k in europe?!!

So less than 7k in France + Germany ?



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

X1 not doing good in Europe at all. Price drop is needed soon!
