Forums - Sales - PS4 has overtaken WiiU Worldwide

Was bound to happen eventually. Xbox One & Wii U are a mess currently, and Sony was basically the only console maker not to shoot themselves in the foot somehow and release a well-balanced machine at a decent mass-market price.

Loving the generalizations from people like the one above who think Nintendo fans live in some kind of denial though. We're dealing pretty well, I can assure you.

Just as not all of us "can't handle" PS4 selling well.

With the PS4 selling 320k in Japan this week gone, it has overtaken WiiU (will likely be 100k ahead).

Managed to do it BEFORE March!


15th Feb:

WiiU: 5,720m
PS4: 5,390M


22nd Feb:

WiiU: 5,760m (with similar sales to the week before added)
PS4: 5,840m (with Japan launch and similar sales to the week before added)



Wii U was at 5.86 million during the start of the year.



Crazy.

A few were actually pretty close in predictions.

Love how Nintendo fans can make fun of sony and Microsoft but say something about Nintendo and people go crazy lmao. Just deal with the fact that the wiiu is doomed. Nothing but a few 1st party titles to look forward to. Back to the n64 and GameCube days. This further proves how big a fluke the wii was.


The Wii was a fluke?

 

26 posts since 07? Hmm, good.

I don't understand what went wrong?

1. Release console 1 year before everyone else
2. Don't advertise at all
3. Release game every 6 months
4. ???
5. Profit!

Edit: I hope this isn't considered trolling, I love the Wii U, I just hate Nintendo's business strategy.

Actually its a pretty good analysis of the Nintendo marketing strategy in the first year of the console :D.

It was. Nintendeo deserves all the credit in the world for it, but everything points to a similar innovation not happening again.

 

Just look at sales.

nes: 60 mil

snes: 40 mil

n64: 30 mil

gcn: 20 mi

wii: 100 mil

wii u: probably 20 mil

 

It certainly was a sales fluke.



uh oh!,a playstation console back on top spot,some users melting inside,the horror!

may aswell ask here as anywhere,what are the losses on each console sold now do you think with the with all thats going on.is the wiiu profit per console yet,surely it must be



                                                                                                                                        Above & Beyond

   

Well deserved!
