Wii U wasn't even over the XBO during May or June, the two months it beat XBO world wide.  And before those two months, it wasn't even charting.

Those are the months it charted.  And in the last quarter of the year hardly cracked the top 100.  It was at 59-60 from May through July, then slipped to 70 in August, then dropped off the charts in September.   It showed back up in October and December in the 90s.  So far, it is tracking much, much higher on Amazon than last year.  There's two reasons for this:  one, increased moment; and two, proper pricing.  Wii U's price was inflated on Amazon for some reason, during the latter part of the year it was as high as $340 for the most reasonable bundle available.  Now it is listed at or slightly below MSRP.

Would that have been your reaction prior to seeing the success of this bundle on Amazon? That's also what Sony had to do, test the market see what the demand is then produce the product based of that. Like someone else mentioned its not just a plaime colored console it has that Batman theme skin. If there was no demand for the system Sony would have to spend tons of money repurposing the consoles and @ 250k you mentioned I would venture to say it would be a very unnecessary cost.

Ummmmm.


Hey now I hadn't had my morning coffee before that post so you have to excuse me lol

Those faces aren't supposed to be frowny faces!! For a minute there, I thought the Wii U felt out of the Top 100.

Nice to see the Wii U picking up steam. Perhaps, it can top 100K sales this month in the US?

For what month?

March or April?

April. It might be able to crack 100K in March, too.

Glad to see the Wii U doing well. Here's hoping it can keep up its success!

PS4 has actually climbed up the chart just as the AK special edition bundle comes storming back, briefly until it sells out again. How does it do this?

How much longer is the ACU bundle going to stick around? It surely will not be the primary sku going in to Holiday 2015. It must come to an end at some point. MS's problem though is that the MCC bundle doesn't seem to be getting much attention.

Personally I think MS should go back to the plain console and tell retailers they can bundle any 2 2013 or 2014 console exclusive games for free. Or even do pick 2 from 6 deals at $349. Those sorts of offers will surely do more for Xb one than sticking with the MCC bundle.

Damn, if happen Wii U will beat GC!!! (GC ~ 96,000 in April 2004)

But i don't think so. I don't know what happen on amazon as for now, but the console in April have always a massive dropped.

40% to 60% usually... I predict 100,000 in March and 60,000 in April for Wii U... i will be very happy if i'm wrong!
