Oh I did lol

Nintendo doesn't deserve anything. None of these companies deserve anything. They get what they get and that's it> I for one predicted this sort of thing for Nintendo way back at the height of Wii's popularity. Once I saw common news casts and shows like The Today Show auctioning off Wiis I knew the fate of the console and Nintendo wouldn't be good. Why? Because when things like that start to happen the article in question becomes a fad. It happend to Furby, it happened to Pogs, etc. They were getting people who aren't really interested in video games to play video games. Once those people decide to go back to the things they really enjoyed before jumping on the fad the fad starts to fade. I had aunts, uncles, and friends who'd never played video games but owned a Wii. Fast forware 5 or 6 years later and none of them know what happened to their Wii and they're not at all interested in WiiU. I'm sure Nintendo saw this coming as much as I did.

Did you forget the 2 bundles coming later this month with 2 free games each, nintendoland+MK8 and nintendoland+3dworld. I would not be suprised if thats why the wii u slowed down a little, waiting a bit to get a new bundle and nintendo trying to get out the way  of destiny. And be prepared for next week to be under 100k againg. After the bad reviews of destiny that only boosted the US, it will plumet down to sub 80k from the next week onwards(I think) while the wii u might go back to at least 60k with the new bundles, bayonetta in japans and hyrule warios in the west. You might say they are niche, but thas a lot of niche thigs happening at once that will boost sales for more than a week, unlike anything MS has or is planing to bring.

Woops I forgot I was stupidly stating the obvious again, can somone lock this thread?

Boy I just love the Wii U and hope nintendo, one of the icons of gaming, is as successful as possible

But... Xbox One will catch up 500k this month and its not even a holiday month... So when sales get magified expect Xbox One to gain even quicker than it already is! Plus Xbox One didn't bring out it's big guns yet while the Wii U just had Mario kart (its biggest IP)

I doubt that. Its a remake on multiple platforms, while the wii u has a bunch of exclusives coming out. You also preict the wii u to stay in 4k the rest of the month with 2 new bundles and 2 new games coming? Even if one of those comes in japan first this month, by next week we will see a 60k for the week at least while the x1 will be below 80k with the destiny hype down.

There is little doubt that Nintendo doesn't have anything to move consoles in meaningful ways until Smash hits in november. They have been cornered and i don't see any way out of the situation they're currently in with the WiiU (including amiboo).

The popularity of sports games alone will see XBO ahead of WiiU in weekly sales until the week of Smash, and if the COD crowd choose XBO as their go to console that month, you can expect XBO to beat it even then.

Nintendo will just have to ride it out this generation and do the best they can with what they have. They cant fight off the entirety of the upcoming 3rd party onslaught. It's just simply impossible.

A FULL FLEDGED Pokemon game on Wii U wiht a nice battle system, good online network for battles. ACTUAL battle animations not the same stuff they have been doing with pokemon for the past 10 years ont he handhelds lol. A decent graphic upgrade with a good story and of course LOTS of pokemon lol. A good breeding system. Yeah I have an entire dream Pokemon game on Wii U in my head lol.

Edit:

I think this battle will be over very soon though! I think the XB1 will over take the Wii U by the middle of next year!

No matter what is the reason for X1 boost, it seems now obvious X1 will outsell Wii U this holiday, except if SSB Wii U is released

Microsoft whould be terrified if the xbox one doesn't clear 500k this month lol.
