Wii U is selling small, but is getting healthier monthly. Especially compared to before when it post a Nintendo record for longest game drought.

My biased opinions are always hoping Nintendo goes third party only so... I root for it to do worse. Can you blame me considering my motive?

Bayo 2 number looks to be in line with the final Pre-order figure. That 1 million target is looking a long way off unfortunately. IMO the only way there will be a Bayo 3 is if Bayo 2 gets a PS4bone release at some point, and I don;t see that happening. Bayo 2 pushes Wii U above 50K. But only 51K. Either lots of people are holding out for SSB, or Wii u is gasping. At least it beat PS3.

PS4 :-0 300K is huge.

With Xb one at 138K, and expecting a dip the following week (considering buyers would be holding off for announced price cuts for the week beginning 2 Nov), I wonder if we will see a post Destiny sub 100K week for Xb one after all. I expect it'll only drop 20 K or so, so should stay above.

I don't know what the hell Nintendo is thinking by saying the West doesn't need N3DS. Well I guess it doesn't, but N3DS sure needs the West.

Sunset Overdrive! The vanilla XB1 sku actually rose on amazon that week, (don't ask me why).

Yeah, the white bundle release will be enough. It was just US possibly waiting for the price drop anyway.

You can say what it did for the Wii U sales is bad


Wii U sales percentage rose on par with the PS4 according to that chart above, nearly double what the X1 did that week. I would say it did nicely for the struggling Wii U.

It's also on par with PS3 % change.

I was expecting something more from Bayonetta. Hopefully it's undertracked, lol.

Its only 20k of Bayo 1's US launch, technically Bayonetta 1's best FW SKU is the WiiU =P

Easy check.

Real world shipment: 13.5m
VGC guesstimates: 11,383,064

Over 2 million on shelves for PS4... yeah VGC... you are right lol

It is ridiculous and only will get worst because now Sony shows data for PS4.

Wow they are seriously undertracking PS4 by likely near a million agian.

True, forgot about that for a sec. Was up and gone so quickly. The rise of the vanilla sku wasn't that big of a move was it? Could have been other things dropping off in sales rather than Xb one increasing. But what is odd about the SO bundle is that it doesn;t feature at all in the October monthly best seller list on Amazon, whereas the the not released at the time Ass Creed and CoD bundles do feature, and quite high up for bundles that had not yet been launched. So I wonder, if Amazon is anything to go by, how many SO bundles actually got released for sale in that final week of October?

These figures make zero sense, why was the PS4 adjusted down of all things? I wonder how on earth anyone could reach that conclusion given the latest batch of shipment numbers.

Predictably, Bayo 2 did virtually nothing for the Wii U hardware sales, all hardware saw a sales increase and with a low baseline to begin with, the percentage is bound to be higher, just like the 1800% (I think it was that) increase in Japan last October when people went bonkers. That said; the software sale themselves are a bit higher than I expected, I figured Bayo 2 would sell somewhere between half and 2/3 of that after the Japan release. Still; the 1 million lifetime crowd have got to get down to earth again very soon, it's just not going to happen and won't even be close seeing as how it was out of the Japanese top 40 after a month and dropped from a 6th place debut in the UK and straight out of the top 50 in the second week, it is safe to say that this title won't have any kind of legs.

What is up with the Xbone version of Minecraft? Didn't it get a physical release?

Nov 18th.


Thanks!

Bayo 2 only 12.8K in the UK. And similar in Germany. Are we looking at a launch aligned first week of under 200K? it might just squeak past 200K I think.

And I am happy for that system as well! Where did it place last gen?

 

But sadly, my goal this Xmas is to convince my GF I need another system. The PStv, which plays PS3 games. Or I would be rejoicing PS3 numbers as well.

The ps3 will be a healthy second place between 90 and 100 million.... Nothing like wiiu
