Good to see Wii U finally doing well on a weekly basis!


AT LEAST that is a good thing finnaly.

 

I still don't understand the low sales of x1 in EU though, if they were higher Wii U would still be coming in at 3rd perhaps.

Finally some decent numbers for 3DS and Wii U. Nice to see for a change :D

But, but I heard MK8 failed as a system seller!

Well it failed to put it onto a 100K/wk footing, which is what some people were predicting. 60-70K/wk only looks good because it was selling 30K/wk before.

I recall PS3 selling ~75K/wk in the summers before Sept 2009 and people were dancing on PS3's grave, or crying into their milkshakes.

Good summer weekly sales is 100K+, ordinary summer sales is 50-70K, bad summer sales is <40K, great summer sales is >150K.

but wii was selling 300k plus at that time while ps4 is nowhere near that.

The Wii was an anamoly that's not going to happen again. That, plus, the Wii was $150 less than the PS4 currently is.

We are just happy that the Wii U is not back to the shitty 30k baseline. Mario Kart 8 has shown (if these numbers are not too far off from reality) that there is a glimmer of hope that the Wii U can achieve modest sales (above the 15 million mark)

you'll eat crow with those underestimations.

Where is vgc still overtracking x1 and WiiU? Ps4 still under.

I'm not sure about Xbox One, but they actually tracked Wii U really well in June.

wii was no anomaly. ps2 and probably ps1 were also much higher than ps4 is currently doing. at this pace, it would take years to increase the gap just 10 millions.
