wiiU is consistently selling worse than most last gen consoles. That's worrisome.

But is still selling worse than Ps3!


I think this says everything. Being outselled by a 7 year old console is just sad.


You mean the same console that just got 2 of the biggest games ever last year in terms of ratings? GTA5 and The last of us? Theres no shame in beeing outsold by the PS3. Its an awesome system and still has alot of life in it with lots of exclusives coming this year.

Well there is shame in it if Wii U can't make the same claim. I should have more exclusives coming out for it in it's 2nd full year than PS3. What is the exclusive count for PS3 vs. Wii U for 2014? It better come out in favour of Wii U, or it really does mean Wii U is in serious trouble.

Yeah its not doing too badly. In a few months it will be ahead of all 7th gen consoles. The PS4 is losing steam though. 

 Yikes at the 360's sales though! That thing needs a price cut ugently! And the X1's sales in Europe are really really bad.

It's pretty bad, Nintendo's forecast for the Wii U through the end of March 2014 will be a shade over 6 million Wii Us (if they can hit that) ... the GameCube was at almost 10 million at the same point in its lifespan (fiscal year end March 2003).

That means really most likely the bumps from Mario Kart/Smash are just going to take the Wii U to GameCube levels.

Wii U only sold 500 more units than Vita for the week... how is that NOT doomed-bad?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

If you look at it, its only selling 20k less than the "not-doomed" Xbox one.

Right, and you can't say "well it hasn't released in Japan yet" since we know that it will bomb there anyway.


Exactly. Seems like the barrier between doomed and not-doomed is 30k. Amusing. :)

edited the number. Its around 30k.

Except the huge difference of price betwee the them, and wiiU being out long enough to have build a library of games to sale with.

Factor those things in and the difference is rather big.
