Wii U Sales are in! From GameXplain's twitter:

"Acording to Nintendo, Wii U sales increased by more than 340 percent over sales in October"

MS spin was good.

this is betterer

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Callahan called attach rates of software to hardware “strong,” with PS4 attach rates “exceeding those of the launch months of both the PS3 and the PS2.”

He added that PS4 “led U.S. hardware sales for the month, and marked the highest first month sales of a hardware platform on record.”

 

[teh_pwn]

Wii U 4.4 * October. Get those calculators out.

220K?

Within range of Pacther's accuracy. Gaf down in 3...2....1...

 

[metalslimer]

Iwata might be gone by the end of January. I can't believe they released a press with such bad numbers.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I'm not sure why Nintendo would even put out a press release like that.

340 > 220

 

[Silky]

220K for Wii-U

gottdamn.....

 

[Yawnier]

It's over, period. Nintendo lost their last ace, and that's the end of their Wii U hopes and dreams.

It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for Wii U. Nintendo has nothing left, nothing they can reveal tomorrow would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in a Wii U. Except if they want to play SM3DW. Which will also come to Xbox One at some point.

The age of Nintendo is done.

Spoiler

*This is a joke post.

 

[stonesak]

220K for the WiiU? Game over, man! Game over!

 

[Exokell]

didnt some gaffers bet that Wii U will get over 300? what was the consequences lol

anyway 220k... its over guys

 

[BlazingDarkness]

.

Awful.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

With the sales, i'd wager Vita memory cards outsold the Vita this month.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was the case. Sony really goofed with the RRP on memory cards.

 

[Steel]

SOMEONE ACTUALLY REVERSED THE GIF!

Nice!

 

[Riki]

Fixed that for you.

We've already had EA and Activision complaining about stagnating and declining sales for their games this year.
So yeah, no.

 

[Morfeo]

220k for the Wii U? Time for drastic changes.

 

[Captain Smoker]

A Link between Worlds = 405.000 (digital + physical + bundle)
Pokemon X / Y = 225.000 (digital + physical)

3DS 770.000 (10.500.000 LTD)
Wii U ~222.000

Super Mario 3D World = 215.000 (digital + physical)

 

[theprodigy]

Yeh, but Keighley's tweet 504'd the site without any numbers.

how the hell did that even happen

and 3D World's performance relative to Wii U sales is....odd

 

[Mpl90]

Still from GameXplain

Zelda: ALBW sold 280,000 digital and retail. If you count the hardware bundle, 405,000

 

[bananas]

So, less than a million for 2DS, 3DS and Wii U combined.

Huh.

Holy Shit.

 

[Derrick01]

I appreciate Nintendo's honesty with all their numbers at least. It's way better than total silence and that fuck-awful spin from MS.

 

[Malvingt2]

Mario and Zelda are 8 days tracking for the month?

 

[cpp_is_king]

What were Wii U hardware sales in November 2012? I'm curious how much of an improvement this was over last year's Black Friday month

 

[Troubleman1990]

..... damn nintendo in elementary school(until I got a PS1 still loved the n64 though) you used to be the man homie, the fuck happened to you!

 

[darkistheway]

I don't know, my brother this holiday got his kids tablets, no WiiU or Wii games but tablets. Nintendo maybe you should never the hardcore. This is coming from a Nintendo fan and been one since the NES.

Gather round folks, this guy has an anecdote for all to hear!

I bought my kids a Wii U. My anecdote attacks your anecdote for 9 damage.

 

[pixlexic]

so they sold pretty much the same. i was not really expecting that.

 

[Graphics Horse]

220k for Wii U?

Fire Iwata

It's times like this I wish we still had animated avatars.

 

[Ricerocket]

That's really bad for Wii U and SM3DW. What's their next game up that they think is gonna generate 8 million console sales to hit their forecast?

 

[RealityPales]

But Nintendo is happy, so what do I know.

They definitely aren't.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Is 220 K bad for Wii U?

[Relaxed Muscle]

220k for Wii U?

Fire Iwata

People wishing to Iwata to stay as CEO want Nintendo to slowly burn, is the only explanation.

I hope he stays for the Iwata asks.

 

[Raw64life]

~220K each for Wii U and SM3D World.

That's a lot of people not playing the GOTY.

 

[Nibel]

Nintendo DUN GOOFIN, that's fucking terrible

220k for Wii U?

Fire Iwata

Holy shit I'm dying

 

[Peff]

Yikes...

 

[73V3N]

That top ten is horrible

 

[TheXfactor]

yep iwata is going to be gone soon,

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

The Nintendo brand is finally over. Maybe next decade!

It's over, period. Nintendo lost the casuals, and that's the end of their Wii U hopes and dreams.

It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for Wii U. Nintendo has nothing left, nothing they have can fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for anyone, hardcore or casual, to substantially invest in a Wii U. Except if they want to play Bayonetta 2. Which will also come to PS4 at some point.

Microsoft and Sony took the last reason away that anyone would NEED to own a WiiU over a PS4 or Xbox one(except Miiverse LOL GAMING), and the cavalcade of tiny titles that will be nice but won't stir up any sales is not going to salvage the underpowered non-entity that was Wii U.

There may be some hardcore gamers that stick around. Some did it for PS3 too. But the last bell tolled. Maybe next decade.

The age of Nintendo is done.

My sarcasm meter seems to be broken.

GameXplain:
"Pokemon X & Y sold more than 225,000 in its second month, digital and retail. More than 2.35 million unit life-to-date"

 

[Masked_Ninja]

Gosh Nintendo!

 

[Bruno MB]

First month sales:

[WII] Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) {November 12, 2007} - 1,120,000
[WIU] Super Mario 3D World (Nintendo) {November 22, 2013} - 215,000

 

[anexanhume]

Super Mario 3D world with an attach rate of 100 percent!












(on consoles sold in November 2013).

 

[StoopKid]

wow 220k ...

 

[Aquamarine]

What were Wii U hardware sales in November 2012? I'm curious how much of an improvement this was over last year's Black Friday month

425K.

If Wii U really did sell somewhere around 220,000, that's utterly abysmal. Horrid, horrid numbers. GameCube managed twice that.

 

[Frolow]

Those Wii U numbers are pretty bad. Hope they find a way to turn it around in the future.

 

[KillerMan91]

So PS4 sold more than all Nintendo platforms combined. Damn.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

What? Where did you get that?

How can the Xbox move 1 Million units in the US in one day if they don't even have that many on the shelves?

 

[bananas]

Wii U Sales are in! From GameXplain's twitter:

"Acording to Nintendo, Wii U sales increased by more than 340 percent over sales in October"

If you thought Microsoft's spin was good, Nintendo is like Crash fuckin' Bandicoot.

 

[Animator]

215K for SM3DW? That is terrible.

The current base didn't turn out for that?

Are people finally getting bored of Mario games or is it because nobody bought a wiiU?

What is the lifetime sales of WiiU at right now?

 

[Beant]

425K.

If Wii U really did sell somewhere around 220,000, that's utterly abysmal. Horrid, horrid numbers. GameCube managed twice that.

Thats dreamcast level right?

 

[Finalizer]

So Wii U 220K.

So, uh

It's better than 150k at least?
