nice wii u numbers! but still couldn't topple the ps4... this was probably nintendo's best chance to do that too...



Eh debatable, with Watch Dogs out at the same time it was still a bit of an uphill battle, however I would like to see how next weeks numbers fair, MK8 will have much longer legs to push systems than Watch Dogs.


true, but with such a smaller baseline to push from... this was still nintendo's best chance to outsell the ps4.   It should have a consistent boost though, but it will be smaller hardware numbers...  I expect probaby an 80k drop in hardware for the wii u next week.  Followed by a 30-40k drop, and then it will even out around 50-60k a week until the holidays.

True, but I think Destiny have a bigger influence on XBO sales. Bungie is especially loved by Xbox fans.


Doesn't sound like it nowadays :p


Don't know which sites he visits but all last year xbox fans had been cursing Bungie for "jumping ship". Didn't sound like much love to me based on their posts but what do I know?. Not that important.

I must say I'm not really paying attention to whiners. Just like I don't think Square lost the "love" when they went multiplat.

I actually think that's a good think. More gamers can enjoy their games ! (well, unfortunately, they got FF XIII, but still !)

That's a good policy to uphold but non the less they were xbox fans, whiners or not.

I agree with you on the Square point but if memory serves me correctly - and it may not, Square didn't then favour the opposition console against their former ally like Bungie is doing to PS4.

However I get your point.


True... Man, Microsoft seems to have upset quite a lot of studios. I wonder what actually happened.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Didn't ioi said both Wii U and PS4 were over +200k? Guess the Wii U fell short of that. Nonetheless both of them had a great week.

Literally one of the biggest Nintendo franchises releases and they still can't beat PS4? What the hell is wrong with gamers! Nintendo is releasing actual legit good quality games and yet PS4 rises from nothing! Maybe last year I could understand Wii U selling less because of launch hype from PS4 and the library was bad until the end but now there's no excuse.


Simple. Watch Dogs PS4 launched on tuesday. Mario Kart only had 2 days(3 for japan)



holy hell @ WD

I'd say he expected more from Japan as well.



Damn, those are some really good Wii U numbers. It really surpassed all of our expectations. I'm shocked the PS4 was able to beat it.
