Wii U is going to go down until the mario kart 8 bundles hit the stores. There is no point buying one now when you can get a better deal a few weeks down the tracks.

And it appears that the New 3DS is cannibalizing the vita and pretty much everything else. Kinda feel sorry for the vita especially, japan was the only region it was doing ok'ish, now it is at it's death bed

When will resaled new MK8 bundle?

New 3DS sales are good, but year over year, 3DS is probably going to fall way short of last year and I don't think 3DS is doing better in the West this year over last either. I don't think Nintendo will hit their sales forecasts for the 3DS for the fiscal year.


Why are there comments like these :-/  We know its going to be down, its obviously with a 1.5mil+ gap, can we just be happy after the 25k-30k weekly baseline has jumped up majorly?

No need to put 3ds down^ Not everytime 3ds is mentioned you have to bring that up (West in a Japanese thread or Forecast for WW)


Maybe if you don't like discussing well ... sales, this isn't the site for you. 


Maybe if you like to talk about off topic things, you should do it in a proper thread?

Seriously you say this same thing almost every week, it just looks like your desperate to find a way to turn a positive to a negative :-/ (Im truly srry for whatever the 3DS has done to you)

Because it's sales discussion.  

Vita is (probably) going to be up YoY but it's still a dire situation to be in, and while I enjoy discussing the positives for the platform, there's going to be plenty of people who are going to want to discuss the negatives too.

Just like for WiiU.  Just like for PS4.  And just like for 3DS.

Wii Party U Bundle last year gave the Wii U a good spike, something around 26k (if i remember correctly). I'd say it woud be around 10-15k this year

Better not making a YOY comparison, otherwise the WHOLE chart will look terrible.

PS4 and PS vita will be up again this week with respectively Phycho Break and Powerfull Baseball 2014.

Really glad that 3DS s doing great numbers. The next gen Nintendo handheld would survive with Japan alone. Now that there is no more handheld coming from Sony I guess I'll switch to the next 3DS.

3ds has done bad all year (well compared to 2012-2013) and finally does great, nobody mentions its goingto be YoY up or talks about Nintendo hitting their forecast. He brings up this only because 3ds is currently doing well. Other threads where 3ds does something well he brings up this same statement^

Downplaying=Downplaying. If PS4 is up to 20k-25k in a week, then that particular week i say "its still way behind ps3 #s though, so these numbers dont mean much" im sure im downplaying the PS4.
