I was expecting a bigger boost for Wii U...

Well, I predicted that the HW boost would be low, but I didn't expect that low...any word on Famitsu HW numbers?

So, its around 350k. Does it mean it sold 850+ in Europe and USA? So, i think Nintendo numbers are shipped may be. Lets see VGC numbers for USA and europe.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Not the expected Wii U hardware boost, great MK numbers though. I wonder if the boost will be sustained rather than just a 1 week boost like other franchises. It should have legs that's for sure.

West should have a bigger boost though. Wii U has been doin bad in Japan, but not as bad as in the West. Therefore die hard Nintendo fans have most probably gotten a Wii U there whereas there's still room to grow over here.

honestly the 19K hardware is pretty disappointing for WiiU.

I was expecting a 2-300% hardware boost from MK8, so I'd say this is on the low side.

Great MK software numbers, bad WiiU hardware numbers. I think most people who already wanted MK8 already bought a WiiU...



Once you entered you won't be the same anymore. A blog about life.

19k sold? Poor imo, and ps4 down to sub 7k?

Jesus, those hardware numbers are poor all round. Really poor.


How is hardware going up over 100% not an impressive hardware boost??



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I have a hard time saying this in a different way then: "That's fucking it? 19k from MK8?"

Japan is so dead.
