Wii probably also did 400k + (going by november) and i would guess NDS making up a good chunk of the remaining 1.4 mill aswell
edit: well thats why i don't make predictions lol

So Wii at 475K > WiiU at 460K. Neat!

Sony level spin for Sony level numbers. Not good. :/
I'm ready for my 10 GCN Ambassador Games...
3DS down 350k, DS down ~160k, Wii down 550k.
That's possibly the weakest damage limitation PR piece I've ever read.
When box is taking about taking $1.27bn, Nintendo are trumpeting a mere $30m increase in net sales from a console significantly more expensive?

460k is pretty bad, unless WiiU hits an upswing from positive word of mouth through casuals, it is going to have a longggggg six months ahead of it with the current software schedule.
Probably that and having an ugly new machine.
I also still don't understand who at Sony thought that having PSASBR as your big 'core' game was a smart idea.
That game was destined to bomb.

I thought I was lowballing when I guessed Wii U would do 550k in December. Pachter said it was going to be 750k. Utter flop for Nintendo considering there was nothing constrained about the Wii U(other than demand). Can one man be an ambassador twice? I hope I get a special hat.

Apparently the 3DS.
Full Nintendo figures:
Wii U: 460k
3DS: 1250k
Wii: 475k
NDS: 470k
More people buying Wiis than Wii Us. Consumer confusion, or people just not wanting to fork over $250+?
Second holiday season, should be seeing growth before a third year peak, expect it dropped 350k yoy, not that great tbh.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
WiiU looking dead in the west, maybe it can carve out a Japanese only life. Our american cousins chart the path blazed by the UK's total indifference to this clearly unlaunchworthy console!
Or theres always a chance some Nintendogs/Brain Training hype explosion can save the day like with the DS.

How about if 460k all they could have made? Anyone know?

Awesome 3DS numbers. And it seems like a lot of kids had disappointing Christmases this year looking at those OG wii sales
It did? Ow.
Is that guesswork or the pattern of things? If the latter, that's not good. Nintendo will have to start handing out GCN stickers for our Wii Us
Well it's be hard to compete on price if you're wanting a basic console that's for sure. However Wii U should be doing better with solid marketting and games.

By saying Americans though, you imply that it is different elsewhere. I can understand your frustration with seeing the same names over and over but it's the same sorta landscape in every region if you are looking at a top 10 list.

I'm complaining at all. The difference is that the US chart has 90% of games that are yearly entries. Call of Duty, Madden, Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, Fifa, etc. YEARLY releases. Japanese chart is different. It has also less exploited IPs, and new IPs (Fantasy Life is the last one, for example).

Bad numbers for Wii U and I'm doubtful they are going to lower the price this time around. I wonder what they'll do now... announcing more games is probably the only thing that can help them.

It's gonna be a rough Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter for Nintendo in 2013.
I do think it is an issue, but one that could have been minimized with a better price point and competent marketing.
Oh man. Wii U doing worse than PS3 is a fucking catastrophe.

Really pretty good 3DS figures.
PR should have focused on them.

This. I wonder if Nintendo avoided giving out additional numbers because they didn't want to divulge how badly the Wii outsold the Wii U last month.
EDIT: Oh, wait. Apparently they did give out Wii/3DS numbers - just wasn't in the OP.
