[theprodigy]

i feel sad and old when like half the people reading poetic.injustice's post don't get what he's referencing

it really has been a long time huh

 

[Nibel]

Iwata and the Wii U are done

You are allowed to slap anyone who claims that Smash or Kart will change things because this won't happen, this console is the most unpopular mainstream console ever

We had good times Iwata

 

[Jomjom]

I hope these Mario numbers means that Nintendo will finally put their 1st party games on sale faster. I love how basically each and every Sony published game hits $10 or $20 at retail at most 6 months after release, but Mario games will be $40 or $60 basically forever.

Really sad to see Mario and Wii U bomb so bad

Mario deserves better. The Wii U does not.

 

[metalslimer]

Nintendo releasing a console that is more powerful in 2015 is a horrific idea. They will get 0 3rd party support and the system will probably sell worse than Wii U. No Nintendo either needs a dramatically different approach or they have to quit consoles for good.

So Pachter was wrong again...

lol that's your response?

[BronsonLee]

Can't touch me

Spoiler

3ds will kill me though

Nah son we're doing Price is Right Rules, closest without going over!

Nevermind.

Ohhhh you lucky bastard

 

[chadboban]

Wii U sales awful but at least over predictions. Still fucking awful though. Mario sales are depressing.

Really interested in Sony and Microsoft first party software sales. C'mon creamsugar, we need you!

 

[Riki]

Sony won the month and they are still stingy with the numbers.

The PS4 won the month.
The PS3 and Vita are still sinking.

 

[FourMyle]

Pssst. That post was satire.

Cool, care to address my points?

 

[Dicer]

So people aren't playing the best game of the year, and this pleases you?

Industry is a fucking mess, it's really shitty all the way around, look at that shameful top 10.

MS spin
Horrific situation for Nintendo
Sony can spin the new console, but they still have a dead ass portable on their hands.

The "gaming" community are content buying this year new iteration of the same old shit.

I hope to god above if there is one, to at least let Wii U thrive with Indies, till they figure out what to do next. Until then, it'll be 3DS/Steam and that's about it for me.

True sadness...

So Pachter was wrong again...

Is he ever actually right?

 

[Suikoguy]

How far off is Nintendo on their console sales prediction now?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Wait so it less than 700k? WoW.

No, Zelda bundle.

 

[Kenshin001]

That top ten is horrible

It is, isn't it. Damn depressing. Not one single original IP. Not sure who's more at fault, the publishers and developers for churning out sequels or gamers for lapping them up.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

While I'm disappointed by the poor numbers by the Wii U and 3D World, at least they're bad enough that I can have decent confidence that it's going to lead to massive leadership changes. If they had somehow managed to pull off even 300K+ they might have been able to BS their way into staying the course. The next year is probably going to have lots of transition at Nintendo, hopefully. I doubt there will be many more big, unannounced games for Wii U with the way it's going now. They'll probably keep it on lifesupport with sales with their last heavy hitters of Smash/MK8/Zelda U and push any games in early stages of development to their next console in 2016 or whatever.

 

[Exokell]

Sarcasm, right?

whats wrong with nintendo 3rd party? nintendo games for everyone? I can play super mario 3d world without buying a dead console? what is wrong with these statements

 

[Pain]

Please show us this evidence

Amazon get almost daily restocks.
People who work on retail say they get more Xbones than PS4bones.

It's anecdotal at best.

The goose is pretty much cooked, I suppose.

 

[Guevara]

Man even the 3DS has been soft, for both hardware and software.

 

[Captain Smoker]

	Hardware LTD		Mario 3D Sales		Attach Ratio

GCN	   2.120.000		       350.000		16,5%
Wii	   6.000.000		     1.120.000		18,7%
Wii U	 ~ 1.550.000		       215.000		13,9%

 

[SykoTech]

Hmm, with those Mario numbers, Knack just might have a shot at beating 3D World in the US as well.

Oh boy. Might have to retreat to the Happening Bunker.

Or maybe that is exactly what he cares about? Definitely looks that way to me.

Haha, probably.

I know mot people dislike his attitude, but I'll take a blunt person over a passive-aggressive attitude anytime. Besides, Derrick gives everyone a hard time. It's not like he only attacks one company and gives the ones he likes a pass. That's what usually annoys me.

 

[Plinko]

Except their won't be third party support, they'd have to redo all their production pipeline and games just aren't gonna lack that much better in an incremental upgrade.

Third parties have been whining since the beginning about Nintendo not having a powerful enough console for them to showcase their games. This would take care of that. If third parties have been lying and STILL won't put games out, Nintendo has a MUCH bigger problem here.

As for the incremental upgrade, think about how much video cards have gotten better in 3 years. To me, that's not an "incremental upgrade." It would be enough for consumers to see, I believe.

 

[stonesak]

So I surmise The One is in fact selling faster than the PS4. It will be in the lead come end of month.

Onward, Christian Soldier!

 

[Mithos]

YES! Seeing the Wii U fail makes me happy! And seeing the PS4 at the top is even better! I hope Nintendo doesn't stick with their current hardware philosophy. I want more hardware muscle!

Even if they do go powerful next time, that wont bring 3rd party games. Games for Nintendos console will always be an afterthough.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

If the Wii U kicked the Vita's ass with 220k, what they hell should we expect from the vita? 35k?

 

[Manmademan]

So Pachter was wrong again...

not significantly, no.

Keep in mind most gaffers were in the 300-400K range.

Pachter Predicts 150K, it does around 220- that's actually a fair prediction. lowballed, but gets the gist of it. horrific, horrific numbers for nintendo.

HAHAHHAHA WHAT THE HELL!!!

 

[Regiruler]

Shit, I don't even know what they are going to do anymore.

Their trump card better be as good as they think it is. They didn't have the balls to show Mario back in January, yet they showed X.
X better be as good as they think it's going to be, and hype the fuck out of it through every medium possible.

 

[Takao]

Vita and Wii U owners shouldn't fight anymore. They're both in game heaven now.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

So I guess they won't be making another 2D/3D hybrid Mario?

Good.

 

[Morfeo]

OMG at that live reaction video lol. At least we can get something good out of this.

 

[DaBoss]

He's laughing at Iwata.

Super Mario 3D World is the best selling game, considering the hardware base.

	Hardware LTD		Mario 3D Sales		Attach Ratio

GCN	   2.120.000		       350.000		6,06
Wii	   6.000.000		     1.120.000		5,36
Wii U	 ~ 1.550.000		       215.000		7,21

Did you study at Nelson University?

 

[Mengy]

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)

Wow, that's terrible. The Wii-U did a tad better than I expected, but Mario is much, MUCH lower than I expected. That's actually worse....

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

So I guess they won't be making another 2D/3D hybrid Mario?

Good.

That's perhaps the best news of this. And I LIKED 3D World. But it was no Galaxy

 

[Ecotic]

Super Mario 3D was just too confusing. People think it's a multiplayer only game. Maybe it is essentially, I don't want the game so I didn't really look into it. It certainly looks like a game meant for multiplayer and not as enjoyable as a single player game.

 

[VanWinkle]

The PS4 won the month.
The PS3 and Vita are still sinking.

How did PS3 do?

 

[Fox Mulder]

Killing the WiiU to start over would be billions in sunk cost on the WiiU and billions more on a new system while killing any brand loyalty you have (even if it is low) to release a new console that may or may not do well.
That's a horrible way to go.

so 4-5 more years of droughts, no third party support, and overall irrelevance it is.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Sony has reclaimed the throne.

The Vita would be Scar, but at least Scar was king for a bit. Maybe the Vita is that mouse he eats at the start.

 

[cpp_is_king]

If the Wii U kicked the Vita's ass with 220k, what they hell should we expect from the vita? 35k?

How do we know it "kicked the Vita's ass"? We know absolutely nothing about Vita sales for Novemeber.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

development doesn't work that way

It's right here in the OP. http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=503054

Sorry, I meant the Vita numbers for THIS month, not November 2012.

Oh god, if they're under 100k I don't know man I LOVE YOU VITA PLEASE DON'T DIE

Super Mario 3D World is the best selling 3D Mario, considering the hardware base.

	Hardware LTD		Mario 3D Sales		Attach Ratio

GCN	   2.120.000		       350.000		6,06

Wii U	 ~ 1.550.000		       215.000		7,21

It can't sell more given the bad hardware LTD.

Yeah Mario I view a bit more as symptomatic, though it's system selling capacity isn't great.
