WiiFit U - 6,560

WOW

WIiU stable at 8k?
3DS needs a redesign in Japan
Vita decent, as well as PS3. I wonder which numbers will PS4 do...

LOL!!

The Wii brand is dead. Nintendo has bet on the wrong horse this gen and will now have to ride it. That happens when you build your success on something so volatile and ignore the more traditional franchises.

No third party will even risk to make a game for the console if the successor to a 7 million + seller (Wii Fit + Wii Fit Plus) barely sells 6k on its opening week.

Nintendo did and shared NOTHING concrete during the quarterly meeting, all promises, speculation and announcements of announcements of things that could propbably never come to be (ALA Wii Vitality and several other games that Nintendo announced but never came during last gen) . Things will get bad come the Year End results.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Wii fit sold 200k FW in Japan and it ended selling 20M+,

you know perfectly Nintendo games are not frontloaded much less in these hard times, i agree on the last paragraph though

Wii Fit was a new IP by the time, no wonder sales were slow at the beginning. However, Wii Fit is now an established, massive franchise. Sales can never be this low, unless the brand was dead.

japan is so depressing. Nintendo should be very worried about the slowing momentum of the 3ds
