Forums - Sales - Weekly WiiU sales > 360 sales, WiiU Jan 14 > WiiU Jan 13, WiiU saved?

Considering the 360 was severely undertracked in the Others region last year and we haven't seen any upward adjustments so far, there's a good chance that current weekly Others sales are undertracked as well. So WiiU might even be below 360, but that doesn't change much honestly.

Still, higher January sales should definitely be expected for WiiU. The first year is never the best for new products.

Ehh. Don't be so surprised. The 360 is  not a console that will stay alive for longer periods of time.

It is in its 9th year and selling from $199-299. How long does it have to stay selling before gamers give credit to where its due?



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Granted 360 is selling on 2008 prices and is in its 9th year. WiiU is competing against the $299 250 gig 360/$299 4gig with Kinect 360. You could argue 360's library is worth more then what WiiU is packing, also the graphics are pretty close to each other.

Yes its 9th year! I don' t think many of it's buyers realize that though.

Depends on the game. I own both the 360 and the WiiU. There is a difference in favor for the WiiU. Not tremendously much - but it's there. It's more evident among select titles like 3D world and Need For Speed.

In my experience, graphical quality tends to be about equal b/w next and current near the beginning of a generation. We've seen all the 360 can do, we're just beginning to see what WiiU can.

The value of libraries really depends on your tastes. I'm commenting in regards to the tastes of family, casual, console-buying audience. To that audience, I think a new Donkey Kong or Mario Kart holds more appeal than a Lego game made in ages past. If FPS is your thing, then certainly the 360 would be better.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Hmm. I  give it a year, maybe a bit longer than that.

Well they HAVE to drop its price this year. I mean they just have to. That will guarantee its sales for a year. I imagine they will cut it off everywhere except for developing countries and NA until it finally gives out. No doubt it will be a 10+ year console......bet few of us saw that coming 10 years ago lol.

I agree. I am not too sure if the same 10+ year life cycle will happen this generation.. I am doubtful, but  what do I know..
