Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii U Japan sales 2013 vs 2014 vs 2015

Hmm, I guess that's better than what I expect. I was tempted to buy Super Mario Mak, er, Manufacturer! But, well, I saw a good deal for Galaxy and I went with that instead. Best decision ever.

So, where's the MC thread?

WOW.

Wii U over 10k in both Media Create and Famitau, with Famitsu actually giving out worse figures this time, go figure.
15k+ Wii U for Super Mario Maker week?

15K+ are you serious? Dude it has 2 Wii U Bundles in Japan. 30K+ is Guarunteed.


But you know that the 2D Mario fanbase is already on Wii U?

topic: Good numbers for Wii U (compared to the other years).

sigh, The 2d Fanbase is already on Wii U? do you want me to go and pull up some NSMB figures for the DS, and Wii and even the 3DS version for those games cause last I check those numbers far exceed Wii U numbers. There are also perks in the bundles that you wont get anywhere else. 30K+ is easily going to happen. Another thing to, every single Wii U bundle has increased it by a minimum of 300% in Japan. The fact that one of the two bundles recently sold out on Amazon Japan is another big clue that they're moving units. In fact, they just restocked that bundle. I don't see why you guys expect a Mario game with 2 bundles that's a special 20th anniversayr edition to just be a 5k boost over this week.


Wii only managed barely 20k... 
Next time believe the doctor!

Um no, every dog has his day. I figured with the movement on amazon japan slowing down it wouldn't reach where I wanted it to I was still a little hopeful, but seriously. You do realize you have been wrong more than right when it comes to Wii U predictions right?

"Only managed barely 20k", thats more than PS4 and more than double of Vita numbers. Good Wii U bump.

My NPD Wii U predictions are usually accurate.

When did I say 20k is a bad number??? I only said that his prediction was way off. 
20k is neither good nor bad for Wii U considering Super Mario Maker got a lot advertisement and multiple bundles. It is an ok week.

When you say "Only managed barely 20k" that sound like bad numbers.




Okay guys, let's keep it clean, This is about Wii U and just Wii U, no need to bring up PS anything. SMM will sell well over time. This pretty much shows nintendo also didn't stock enough bundles considering how they were sold out on amazon Japan and still seem to be low on stock. It also shows that Wii U needs a price cut. The one thing this does show me really is that beating 2013 is going to be extremely difficult from here on in. The only way to do it now is either with some value bundles like 2013 or a price cut. I'm still hoping for the end of october/ beginning of november price cut.

You ignored me ;-;

Wii U software sales for the week is a confirmed 160k+ by the way.
Super Mario Manufacturer: ~135k
Splatoon: ~18k
Mario Kart 8: ~5k
Yoshi's Woolly World: ~2k

I'm thinking 180k including digital.

The gap with 2013 is closing! The Wii U needs something big in October (Animal Crossing would be a godsend), but I don't think it's gonna happen. Hopefully Splatoon and SMM can carry it until November.

2014 continues to get rekt.
