Forums - Sales - WiiU and the "under 100k NPD curse"

holidays. Lets be real thats where Ninty consoles truly shine it has been like this for the past few years now. US simply doesnt seem to be digging the console like that. Maybe some overlay to June. but after that...



Around the Network

June is a possibility if it doesn't drop too hard, otherwise holiday season.



I exoected ps4 150+ and wii u 125+

both under performed for me.



I don't believe there's any "curse", but yes. The Wii U should have performed better and being below 100k is surprising.

Odds are good that it will be over 100k in June, but who knows I suppose. Still, you've got to hope for the long-term success of the system that the sales don't decrease much further and certainly not to where it was before.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I think June will be interesting to see. As you say it could go either way, but for the long-term state of the system you've gotta hope for it to be higher; or no lower at least.
