Which is Sony's biggest IP now that Gran Turismo and God of War have declined the last few years? Uncharted?
Ye Sony doesn't seem to have any strong legacy IPs but we got Last of Us so if they keep giving us that then I guess it is okay.

Between Week 40 and Week 44 the Wii U sold 12,874 units (MC), and average of 3,219 per week.
In a single week last week it sold nearly 4 times that combined 4 weeks of sales.
Fuck you if you want to pretend this week's number was likely.
Second week:
Mirai 2 (3DS) - 17,238
Diva F (PSV) - 16,807
Mirai (3DS) - 14,404
Are people missing the part of my post that said he can do without the last line?
I still maintain that Nintendo should have focused all their energies to get MK8 out for the holidays. Would have been a great chance to build the kind of momentum that leads to a healthier sales life in Japan for the Wii U.
Let the Nintendo fans have this.
There has been nothing but doom and gloom lately. Don't rain on their small parade.
Bu-but next week or well the 3ds is not doing ds numbers.
Let them have their cake.
Tommorow the npd bomb will hit and it will return to the regular scheduled program.
Wii U sales pattern is probably gonna be unlike any previous console. Good launch. Horrible post launch. Good post relaunch.I thought it was supposed to turn around in August once games started coming out? As it is, this is only at best a start. Three key test, as for the other next gen systems, will be how it does post-holiday.
I am sure that is what they wanted but no matter ho much money and people you throw at a project it will still take time. It can also lead to a disastrous development.
It is indeed much higher than most of us would've thought from last week. Some of it is obviously from Dragon Quest but even then it's a much faster ramp up for the holidays than I would've expected. I wonder how high it'll get to, didn't the Gamecube once get to around 100k the week of Christmas once?

I was talking specifically about Japan since this is a Japanese sales thread. Globally 2013 could beat 2012, the 2DS performance is going to be key, it needs to bring in new buyers.
No, because getting upset that a piece of plastic is getting shit on even without telling people to fuck off is a sign you take this way too seriously.

Wii U sales pattern is probably gonna be unlike any previous console. Good launch. Horrible post launch. Good post relaunch.
Nintendo released good games, good bundles and good ads this quarter. The local multiplayer orientation of games like Mario & Wii Party should give the console exposure, beyond current owners. Thanks to that I expect more and more people will realize it's a fun system to own. I believe Wii U can enjoy better sales from now on, which could be cimented with Mario Kart on the near horizon.
Don't remind me of The Wonderful 101 terrible sales though, out of all audiences I believed japanese would love its artstyle and game mechanics. Plain wrong. Still hurts.
Telling people to fuck off over something like that is very rude, no idea why your trying to defend him. The discourse here is better than that regardless how badly you try to pretend it isn't and such behaviour shouldn't be condoned as "normal".
Keep your congrats for the Wii U, it turned things around by itself
In what way is the 2DS not inferior to the XL though?
I know very well what the Vita TV is, but it is also the only console hitting that low price point (abeit without a controller...) which is why I mentioned it. I just don't know if the 2DS is something people want, it's less portable with a similar battery life and much uglier. I see it steal some of the regular 3DS sales and the lower end audience might give it some growth, but not nearly enough to overcome the decline.

I've found GameCube's Media Create sales for December 2002 (which would be the equivalent of this year, also with a new 3D Mario at its side, with a new Zelda on top of it):
The charts for the week ending:
Dec. 8th: 26.200
Dec 15th: 67.500
Dec 22nd: 76.900
Dec 29th: 62.100
Jan 12th: 19.902
So Wii U's number this week are rather good in comparison. Which does not mean it's a revival, but considering GameCube sold better than Wii U, this is a good result.

So I guess the DS dropping in 2007 compared to 2006 was "bad news"? I'm telling you the current trends are similar to the DS', but on a smaller scale. Make of it what you will but don't pretend that it is an anomaly.

dat 1 year drop.
I wonder how a new 3ds FE would perform. Would Awakening be pretty much the upper ceiling for the series? Or could it see further growth?
So was I? I only brought up the west because I think the software line-up we got over here in 2013 makes us forget that the situation in Japan was different. 2012 didn't have MH4 and Pokemon but it was already coming off a successful holiday that included MH3G and it had a steady stream of titles throughout 2012 over there too. It's disappointing that 3DS is not going to beat 2012 HW sales this year but does that really mean it has already peaked?
2006 also had the launch of the DS Lite in addition to that. I'm sure you know the model relaunch for 3DS was in 2012, not 2013. 2012 also was no slouch in terms of software releases, especially with mid-tier titles where I feel 2013 has fallen a little short of.DS 2006 is 3DS 2013. Was the year of New Super Mario Bros, Pokemon, Brain Age 2 alongside all these training games that sold a fuckton. This should have been the best 3DS year looking at it's software, yet is not.
I don't know how that is not an anomality unless you think a system in their 3rd year already reached it's peak on sales on their best software year.
What where the GC sales the week ending Dec. 1st?
Agreed, not necessarily declines, but poor decision making at Sony. They likely hurt the images of their respective franchises, though.Go figure, the second GT game in a generation continues to sell less and a fourth GOW game that no one wanted sold like crap, much like the other GOW.
Truly the signs of declining franchises.
Yes, all based on the holidays where Nintendo systems have always done well. Well maybe the relaunch to Gamecube numbers is possible though.
You might want to read that post again unless you misquoted
Poor Level-5...
Wii U's sales are disappointing in general, but after this year of sales, what would the Wii U have to sell this week for you not to be disappointed in it's holiday sales? The bump is sizeable. I don't know how the GameCube performed in the same timeframe, but the GameCube should probably be the (unreachable)upper ceiling for any expectations for Wii U.
I naiver would be naive to think that the 3DS and PS3 aren't competitors to the WiiU when it comes to disposable income. Not even mentioning the big mobile gaming cloud.the GC had competitors on the market, wii u won't have any of them for months
No I was talking about your general argument towards it (not that specific post).
Go figure, the second GT game in a generation continues to sell less and a fourth GOW game that no one wanted sold like crap, much like the other GOW.

Whoa whoa. Hold the phone people. A Wii U bump is nice, but let's not fly off the handle here. Decent (in relative terms anyway) numbers for Wii U will continue for the holiday season and then it's going to hit rock bottom faster than Spongebob and Patrick going home from GloveWorld. Nintendo needs to fast track some titles and quick to keep some sort of momentum going.
Like I said in the other thread:
If Nintendo had a 2nd game ready around this time like Mario Kart 8, the momentum going into 2014 could've resembled the 3DS, along with DK on February it could've meant a nice start of a turnaround. Too bad they couldn't get it ready for this year.
But my general argument is that it's was that it was completely ridiculous to say that.
And another generation of children learns the hard lesson of crappy licensed games.That attack on titan figure is way too high considering the content of the game 6k yen for a sub 5hr game with abysmal gameplay.
Go figure, the second GT game in a generation continues to sell less and a fourth GOW game that no one wanted sold like crap, much like the other GOW.

So you are saying we are not allowed to celebrate little unforseen bumps?
Nobody is saying that the issues of Wii U are solved, and everybody knows Nintendo has a very rocky road ahead, relax
