Man, those Wii U numbers look even worse when listed out like that.

When you look at the break down of how little the Wii U sold year to year compared to other consoles during the same period, that's almost impossible to do in the current videogame market. And when you compare it to the Dreamcast, which was another ill fated and short lived console in recent memory, the DC sold about 60% of what the Wii U managed in just a little over 2 years on the market... meaning the DC which was pretty much dead shortly after its launch in the West actually outpaced the Wii U in sales.

Thank goodness for the Switch, it might not be perfect but it corrected pretty much everything wrong that the Wii U represented with Nintendo.

New generations start when Nintendo says so.

nope, Wii U sold

1 million in 3 weeks

2 million in 1.5 months

3 million 7 months

4 million in 12 months

Switch sold

1 million in less than 1 week

2 million in less than 1 month

3 million in less than 2 months

4 million in less than 3 months

.....now you've done it

You mean stuff like this?

No, I do not have a time machine. I am just old

Man, this just showcases how shit the Wii U's sales were. Fortunately for them that seems to have been an anomaly and not an indication.

What a smashing hit. Who saw that coming? 10 million this year it seems.
Maybe even more.
I think this will wet the 3rd party apetite.

Have you missed all the posts from certain fanbases going "the ps4 has only sold well because the other too done fucked up"?
People crying over others not giving credit where its due should take a look at their own posts or their fanbase's.

He's also been banned, so that might also contribute to his silence.

OT: Wow...great news. Hopefully Nintendo keeps the momentum going.

I don't think anyone doubted the fact that the Switch is flawed. However, the president wasn't talking smack at all. 

Nintendo has proven they aren't doomed. They are going to reverse the trend of their consoles decreasing in sales
