im kinda upset that I cannot find Pikman 3 anywhere. With only 32G there is no way i am doing anything digital. And yes I know the memory is expandable but what a joke with the 32g of flash


I 100% agree. I really want to get Pikmin 3 but you legit can't find it anywhere. Unless you want to pay like $80 for it on Amazon, that is. And yeah, there's no way I'm getting another Wii U game from the eShop, memory is just way too low. Oh well, hopefully Nintendo gets this game back in cirulation soon, though I'm not holding my breath...

Hmm, that's weird. Cannot understand why Pikmin 3 became so rare almost instantly. I mean, it took a while with Pikmin 2.

It's really weird, especially when you consider the fact that Nintendo still pushes the Pikmin brand quite heavily, what with the recent short movies and demo release of Pikmin 3.

I was expecting more million sellers from Wii U.

Always lower your expectations for WiiU.

For some reason players aren't buying games on Wii U like in previous Nintendo consoles, I remember that the GameCube's attach rate was just insane, 9 games per console if I'm correct.

pffht

I have 45 gamecube games

9 is nonthing

I have 60 Wii U games lol, i must be in competition with Spurge :D

Well deserved :) I still remember when Wii U only had very few million sellers and people called DKC and Pikmin 3 a failure. Bayonetta has them sexy legs, too, so it'll get there... eventually.


DK is still. Pikmin no.


Care to ellaborate? Not sure what you mean. DK is at 0.96, and it will suprass the 1M mark at any time now. Pikmin has sold 0.88 retail plus digital (DK probably sold less digital because sem 11 GB in dat 32GB memory. None of them are failures, they both sold well (though it could've been better). People predicted things like 250K lifetime for DK, and it sold 1M in less than one year.

plus a lot of wii u games are undertracked/ starting to have high digital(ex: wind waker hd, mk8, pikmin 3, toad)

The numbers Vena posted are from Nintendo themselves, they're not undertracked, just outdated.

I think he was talking about the VGChartz numbers being undertracked for various reasons.

We currently have WiiU software tracked at only 1 million above where it was when Nintendo last reported in September. That's an absurd lack of sales considering that Smash alone has sold more than that by a considerable margin + holiday bump for all other software. Should be closing in on 50 million.

I will shock you,I feel that monster hunter tri U is near to 1m or even, already at 1m!look:

Capcom recently released their fiscal performance report, detailing which titles have done well for the publisher. Within it, Capcom stated that the biggest surprise for them was the sales of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U and that it’s the latest title to join their “smash hits”. The interesting thing is that Capcom notes most sales didn’t come from physical purchases, but rather digital downloads of the titles.

Furthermore, “Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G HD Ver.”, which was our first title for the new home video console “Wii U” that was launched in December 2012, also became a smash hit. However, its package sales were generally soft.

http://wiiudaily.com/2013/05/monster-hunter-3-wii-u/ This was posted on may 2013!

It was a smash hit according to capcom but package sales were generally soft!However,the most sales came frrom digital downloads!What's the conclusion?How it can be a smash hit with generally soft package sales?With tremendous digital sales!

So I wouldn't be surprised if with the digital sales is near to 1m or even at 1m...!And it isn't suprising to have vast digital sales,sometime ago we haD been informed that TLOZ Windwaker HD has 300k digital sales,so monster hunter can have 300K++++ digital sales...
