Wait GAF told me that was Wii.
Your read it wrong. GAF probably told you Wii was Gamecube 1.5!

I doubt it. I think its more likely that WiiU just doesn't have a lot of appealing software, and its coming down off of a launch high mildly offset by a holiday. Seems I was the only person expecting it to just about hold right where it was this week. I definitely didn't expect it to spike upwards or anything, but it was obvious it wouldn't fall below 100k either.
Oh its definitely gonna drop. Like a rock, I would put money on that. Look at the chart, wheres the software? That things going down to 70k or lower next week, and itll Vita slowly over the next few months unless they get some games out. Outlook is bad for that thing right now.
Look at the chart, wheres the software?
I think > 120K/150K is a respectable number for the Wii U, 150K/200K good number, > 200K very good.
I'm 110 hours in. 'Nuff said.is animal crossing actually good this time? Is it actually a new game this time around?

That's what the numbers indicate.
It surely didn't get killed as fast as the DS did, but that's just because Sony can't afford to kill it.
I just don't really understand why not go multiplat, like PSP + 3DS. You could easily have another 120, 130k sales in there.
If anybody sees a reason though, I'd sure like to be enlightened.
PS3 had a lot more competition, though. It had the Wii itself, the DS which was ascending to heaven (was it its second holiday?) and the last tail-end of the PS2.
Wii U only has the 3DS. Sure, PS3 and PSP, but those aren't serious competitors at this point.
I don't think the numbers are that bad, though.
Not for Famitsu.Damn, HUGE sales for Wii U. Facing shortages Wii U has managed to Sell MORE units than Wii did it's in third week and overall for the first 3 weeks.

The Vita version sold 24.6% of what the PSP version did or 19.7% overall.
How are the Wii U numbers bad? I'm confused.

So uh, we're damning the Wii U to doomed status?
Well that was quick. Or my sarcasm detector must be broken. 3DS in beast mode.

iOS?Drop for Wii U this week means only one thing.
Games also Bomb on the 3DS, I don't understand your reasoning for wanting all games on the 3DS because it sells the most. The success of a title is has more dependencies.
Can you contextualize this?
It has 2D Mario from the start and Monster Hunter which previously around 1000k on Wii.

So that's what's going to happen to One Piece Musou 2?That's what happens when you release a poor product and poison the well.
or you could like it this way ..
PSP sold to 0.73% of the PSP LTD
Vita sold to 3.186% of the Vita LTD
So - Wii U is more or less empty in January in Japan. Will Game & Wario be January (and will it help?)? Will more titles be announced at the hypothetical bi-monthly Nintendo Direct (that should hit any day now...)?

Nintendo better get their shipment problem fixed.
Compared to the Wii, the Wii U will need to sell over 260,000 units in the next two weeks to keep it's sales advantage.

That's much less informative with regard to future multiplatform games that are supposed to help the Vita.
Looks like Sticker Star will easily be the best selling Paper Mario in Japan. Previous best was SPM with about 500k?

Well lemme clarify again. I think WiiU did fine this week. I just think the numbers are gonna GET bad from here on out. It seems obvious that it will to me. I guess we will see, but it seems to have all those familiar symptoms.
They are very lucky, that once again, they dont have competing new hardware coming until nearly a year later. By late January Ill bet the WiiU is doing terribly.
K, I'm gonna need some context for those Wii U numbers to decide whether Nintendo is doomed
If this is any indication.
japanese industry is pretty much doomed to terminal decline due to their own demographics and western-port unfriendly choice of hardware.
I predict it'll be < 100k next week, probably in the mid to high 90s. We can't do ban bets but I'd bet something, whatever you'd like. /shrug
Sure, a month sound good? For your side I'll put uhh something from one of my fav animated shows, American Dad or something.
Umm, that's why I said "We can't do ban bets".
Firstly, Wii U sellthrough in Japan is roughly the same as Wii at launch. In fact, Iwata made a personal apology about it last night.
Secondly, the idea that you know anything about Japanese stock supplies is totally laughable.
Avatar bet? A Nintendo avatar of my choice.
Another condition would be that you don't come in to another Media Create thread unless you bother to learn context and expectations of Japanese sales first.
