20-30k might be asking too much, the Splatoon bundles did do well, but not superb on Amazon Japan and only entered the top 20 this week. I'm expecting more something like 15-20k, but anything above would be better of course


Look at where Wii U is now, and look at where it jumped up in 2014 with Mario Kart bundles. Its pretty obvious that splatoon is more popular than MK in japan so the boost will be atleast 18k. Last year it sold 4k then 14-k. going from almost 10k to just 15k would make those bundles a failure.

If the bundle fails it will be well deserved, because the bundle price is a completely fraud.

Well, looking at the images on Amazon Japan, it seems like either the 320 pages Artbook (which sells for about 3000yen) or a Splatoon Poster and the Prima Guide are included (plus stickers, but those are not worth much), which would increase it's value quite a bit

[3DS] Winter Playtimes [Wii U]

Updated. Wii U Needs to be on a constant rise from now on to beat 2013 and these rises need to be huge. ACAF has to move hardware, YW Dance has to move units. Every single release needs to push Wii U and the holiday boost needs to kick in or 2013 will just destroy 2015.

I told you sales would be below 20k this last week ;)

Anyway, I do think the sales will go up over the next weeks, but too slow to beat 2015. Still, with Ginei Ibun Roku#FE at the end of the final week the year should end on a high note (and give next year a head start in sales with it's push), but I fear that it won't suffice. Unless it's Indie offensive this ending of November (Year Walk, Runbow, Affordable Space Adventures, Swords and Soldiers 2, Tiny Thief and FullBlast, all releasing beween today and November 25. Oh, and a new Taiko Drum on 26th) will do wonders, but I doubt that.

2016 should become a good year, possibly the best one unless NX steals it's show. The higher baseline should carry over and avoid those nasty sales drops the console had this spring. Coupled with a head start from the sales from Ginei Ibun Raku #FE, we will possibly have a reversed situation compared to this year: A strong start with possibly a weak middle and finish. It all depends on the games to come and what happens to NX

The exciting 2013 vs 2015. I want 2015 to but think 2013 will due to 100000 week



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Good result from the Splatoon bundle! Best week since SMM's release. I don't think 2015 will beat 2013, but it should be well ahead of 2014 by the end, which is much more than I thought it was going to do when this thread was created.

Updated, and I think I can say that 2015's fight against 2013 is now over. The Good news is it only needs to sell 67k More to officially beat 2014. (to beat 2013 it needs to sell 347k)

Yeah sadly 2013 will be the peak year but it's great to see the success of Splatoon and the Wii U growing over last year.  Also splatoon hit 800k retail today in Japan alone!

If NX doesn't get released in 2016 Wii U might still peak that year. It will definitly do better in Winter and Spring than it did this year, where the console just lost too much this year compared to 2013 to catch on. That's not going to happen in 2016 with the higher baseline it has since Splatoon and the games coming in early next year (Star Fox Zero, Pokkén Tournament, Twilight Princess HD, Mario and Sonic Rio Olympics) will keep it up there, too. The question is more how Summer and Fall will go for Wii U. It might get the best year, it might also become a reversal of this year (strong first half, weak middle and strong holiday season if Zelda launches then), but that's just speculation right now.
