Well we can cross MK8 off the chalk board now, it didn't save the WiiU. What's next? SSB and a price cut.

Firing Iwata? The shareholders can't be happy with these results.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

No defending these WiiU numbers, Mario Kart should have had more of an effect considering the hype.

It's in-line with what we were shown from Japan though. Huge software sales; negligible hardware bump (i.e. selling to people who already own the console).

Abysmal.
But it's my fault, I've played my prediction like a rookie...whatever you think Wii U will realistically do, cut that down by 30%, when will I learn not to overestimate Wii U.

So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Does that match the 61k number?

Yes. But it's slightly higher than 61k though. like a couple hundred units.

How do you know?

Look at the tweets we have so far. It's up by 85%, they are comparing it to May 2013 and May 2013 was 33k.

I see it now. That makes me sad. Mario Kart was supposed to be WiiU's biggest game this year! All eyes are on Smash now

So, all those new Nintendo fans will now disappear from the forum?

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
