Why dont you search for it?😱



And to think Gamecube did 750k in November 2003, holy crap. I knew Wii-U wouldn't do well but even i expected atleast around 300k.



Releasing Smash Bros among games like Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed Unity, Advanced Warfare, Dragon Age, GTAV Remastered etc AND among the Xbox 1 price cuts did not do Nintendo any favors...



It's not Wii U's fault. It sells well but obviously the home console industry in US has been dying for years.

It's really bad for Wii U's future when MK8 and Smash can't make Wii U do more than 10% of last year's figures.
And this year we also got Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2 - which is a lot better than we got last year.

The only rediming factor is that Smash allowed for a best week ever since launch. So, there's still hope that Smash can continue selling HW in December, giving Wii U a really good month.



Yeah, it's pretty terrible

Smash Bros. week was the biggest since launch and higher than Black Friday week... That's really weird.

Sounds like supply issues during BF week. It was sold out at Walmart: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=194250&page=1 and amazon.com still doesn't have Wii U consoles in stock for $299.99. The trade-in value is only $5 lower than the X1 ACU/4 bundle, that's another indicator for low supplies at the moment.
The anectotal BF reports that I heard also said that they didn't see many Wii U consoles.



I know one thing, theyre murdering my prediction of them reaching 9m minimum by the end of 2014 -_-




       

At the very least they are bringing in more of a profit now with some help from Amiibo sales.
