Hmm I'm skeptical.
I know it's unconfirmed, but... Doomed. definitely doomed.
atatatatatatatata! you are already dead!
If its true, this should shut people up for a while. But only that long, a while.
Its varying a lot by region, In the UK for example its sold less than the Gamecube did over the same period, when it launched.
Literally incorrect. People will never shut up about Nintendo.
The funny thing about it is nintendo continue to gain great profits and no matter what people still cry wolf.
They continue to write dreadfully bias opinions bashing nintendo yet never bother to think that the others are just as likely to become commercial failures if not more so.
@JGreenhill it has been doing fairly poorly in the UK, I don't think it has been selling less than gamecube levels though.
It isn't doing poorly in the uk if you look at the rumored figures they planned to ship. They sold over 40000 in 2 days when rumors were saying they only had 25000 to ship. That is good.
When you factor that they are advertising 3ds more and people just aren't buying stuff here this is good. I'm surprised it sold out anywhere here.
people would be insane to miss out on the best console nintendo has delivered yet. Its just fun to play, even games i usually wouldn't bother with are more fun with the gamepad.
the wii u will be fine. if the miiverse community is anything to go by, people love their console and will share that excitement with people via word of mouth.
the internet is a cesspool of negativity and insanity.
the fact that some critics said zombiu sucked, AND had bad graphics show just how crazy gaming media and culture has gone....
the game has massive depth, and rich visuals that give you a sense of doom and you actually feel like you are there. The visuals are amazing. not every game needs to be "shiny".
the gameplay of zombiu is pure survival horror, a true core game, and yet half the critics didn't even comprehend it.
Very, very scary times for the truth about games to be known. everyone, please be your own judge and critic, and give things a chance if you want.
don't listen to the lunatics that play a game for 10 minutes and write a review.
Well. It would surprise me f true. I think that those who think it's an extra controller for the Wii etc are few now compared to E3 2011. Here in Norway at least people know very well what the U is. Of course, there are still people who will not get it because Nintendo consoles are for kids and other silly excuses. But I am sure I will get some to join the fun after I invite them over
Well then they undershipped. Gamecube sold 75k in 2 days, Wii U has sold 70k in 3 weeks. Thats not a good sign.
Doesn't matter, nintendo is doomed.
I think the uk will go at the 'slow and steady' pace. The only gadgets people are buying here are i-things. I've put forward a test to see if it can sell more then 100000 in 10 weeks.
When things pick up and more games come out I think sales will suddenly shoot. I'm still disappointed to see 3ds and vita games not taking proper shelf space in my stores. Its sadly a much harder market to crack then it was in 2006. Overall I don't think its worth drama just yet.
Its all down hill from here, right guys and gals?
According to VGChartz, all of this is accurate. The Wii U is doing exceptionally well, can't wait to see what the sales will look like by the end of January!
Very good - considering none of the next-gen systems will outsell their predecessors, plus your terrible US Wii U ads!
It's not surprising that it's not doing too well over here in the UK - it's £300 = almost $500. It'll sell more when the price drops (actually I see Amazon has already dropped £15 off the £300 it was at launch but the point still stands).
300 is a lot for a next-gen console? With this controller and better specs! If you say so...
Until the better specs and controller are put to use it is.
So far the controller seems to show some great potential (ZombiU is so far a great example).
The specs will show. Sonic Kart (as I call it) and the Rayman Legends Demo are hints at a some developers getting the hang of it. Let's wait and see what developers like Ubi, Capcom and Retro can do when they have had the time!
general sales are what matter really , UK has never historically been along with nintendo, wasnt UK a sega market during the reign of Nes worldwide? As far as remember, UK was never too good buying Wii software, even tho Wii dominated worldwide sales.
It's gonna be nice to see a lot of people jump on the system on Christmas tomorrow. Need some more COD players.
Yes it is at the moment. I have one myself but a lot of people that I've talked to about it are put off by the price. If it was closer to the American price it would probably sell better, that's all I'm saying.
Yes Sega was pretty big over here. I'm sure the sales will pick up if they drop the price a bit - it worked with the 3DS.
