As a guy living in the EU, I can say that Nintendo only advertises the 3DS and never never the Wii U. They had a Smash.Bros for 3DS commercial and they didn't even say that there was a Wii U version.

It could be, by a low margin. Nothing important.

The WiiU is undertracked, but I'm sure that is not for much. The WiiU needs Splatoon and good bundles.

Still undertracked and imo, is not a low margin.

It's down in Japan to so it's not strange, if anything is strange it's actually that Wii-U is up in the U.S. It's probably correct but i don't understand why.

Remember Wii-U got DK tropical freeze in february last year. Wii-U hasn't got anything major this year so far.

So no Wii-U is not undertracked in Europe per se.

Just another example to show that ioi's numbers are wrong.

Not the most reflective European market for Nintendo. But it doesn't surprise me in the slightest when you look at the Wii U sections in Europe. Doesn't help that the last release was last year though.

People were getting hyped for Mario Kart last year. I don't know when anything will hit Wii in Europe ATM. Kirby was delayed with no release date announced and there is no promotion for Splatoon at all. My local game stores have a single rack with about 10 titles and that's your lot. Why wouldn't sales be down?

It may be, but not in a relevant way.

Because this thread has no real analysis or hard numbers to compare VGC figures to, it comes across as you just arguing against the numbers because you do not like what you see. Even then, the differences between each set of numbers is in the hundreds. It is hardly worth complaining about as they are statistically tied YoY when you take into account the +/- 10% RoA that was thrown around in the past.

If you want to try and correct VGC numbers, always have official data on hand to do so.

Im locking this.
