Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo's Wii U Sales PR just doesnt make sense to me

OfficerRaichu15 on 11 December 2014

I just don't understand how the biggest hardware week for wii u is week is the biggest since launch?

yet it went down on Black friday?

and only comes to 242k

I just dont understand

(I accept the numbers but that wold mean wii u sold less black friday week somehow even with more reports of selling out and stuff)

you hear me

(and yes I acknowledge the 242k as true for now but I think there is more to it then that)



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Maybe they meant 100% and not 10%. But that's very unlikely in a PR release.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Nobody knows what a Wii U is besides core gamers. The fact that PS4 pulled a Wii leaves Nintendo in dead last to compete with Xbone which still isn't going well. It won't sell like PS4 or Xbone any time soon. Accept this. But I do agree, it doesn't sound right.

Only thing I learned from the PR is that Amiibo's are going to keep bringing in that money
