Wii U version was the highest selling at number 14!

Really? Wii U version outsold the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions?
The install base difference is massive.

Didn't they offer a digital discount for people who got Pikmin 3?

People keep throwing these sales numbers around, yet seem to forget how big digital sales are becoming.

VGChartz, for example, still has Wii U software sales about 3 million units below the official March numbers.

I advise everyone to watch this playthrough of the demo.
He really shows nearly every aspect of it and explains everything he is doing.

Truly shows how immersive this game is and shows the kind of skill needed to start thinking about doing it on hard mode and up.

VGcharts says that in Europe the Wii U has sold 690,724 units so far and for pikmin to sale 100,000 units would be insane that means 69% of the people that bought a wii U would have bought this game and for comparison in japan the WiiU has sold around 1 million units and pikmin has sold around 130,000 so thats a user base of around 13% so I don't think it will be 100,000

if I had to take a guess 62,165 which is 9% of the WiiU user base in Europe

Your math is a little off there, for the first part anyway.

100,000 units sold at an instal base of 690,724 is about 14.5%, not 69%.

Woah! Pikmin 3 is #1 on the Japanese game software charts and the Wii U is #2 on the hardware charts!

This is awesome news!

Pikmin was released on the 13th and these sales only count to the 14th.

Am I reading something wrong or does that mean Pikmin sold 90k+ copies in 2 days?

Also, it almost tripled hardware sales in that same amount of time?

Dang nab it nintendo! Stop worring about mario!!!!!! What about metroid or kirby. No No No. What new zelda annocments? Another copy???? I'm ticked.

What's been going on with nintendo? I'm happy with pokemon and smash bros. but still. Nintendo needs to get off their lazy butt and take more then a few months to make a game. The thing is right now the least popular things are getting more work. For example animal crossing toke 3 years to make and that was a freakin awesome game.

Nowhere does is state that it'll be a Mario game, the reason I put "(Mario)" in the title is because Koizume is the producer of 3D World.

So, when asked about future projects, Koizumi replied they will make an announcement soon.

I wonder if its a big project or maybe some sort of eShop title.

They only have an hour direct... Right?

True, they also have "Developer Interviews" and "Wii U software" though, not sure what we'll see there.

Very disappointed that Wii U got NO love whatsoever. All those next gen games, and none for Wii U, Wii you ubisoft

Ubisoft has been praising the Wii U and telling people to trust Nintendo.

There's a slight chance Nintendo wants to unveil the games during their Direct.

I'd be surprised really if Ubisoft doesn't bring their next gen games to the Wii U.

The Crew looks absolutely massive...

Pretty much drive everywhere in the US? Insane.

Didn't see a Wii U logo for The Crew?

Will it not show up or saving for the direct?

South Park woo!

wth is going on O_O

That's me done watching this conference

PvZ Garden Warfare looks like a lot of fun tbh, I wonder how much dlc it'll launch with.

Here ya go.

Does look interesting,

Toy Box Mode looks really incredible.

I never had a day when my web was down over 24 hours. If so I will play some Wii U until it comes back on. No biggie

By then I would probably have another console. 

I doubt you are the majority though, I know many many people who own a console but do not have internet, or even cable.

Some of the graphics looks pretty nice, but nothing really impressed me with that.

The silence when the price was mentioned was harsh

I'll probably be watching it, but no way in hell is it going to change my mind of never purchasing one.

Kinect 2.0 + dodgy patent application + PRISM = stay the hell away from me.

Very nice trailer, it's CGI though, not live-action.

This is the first time in E3 history a company makes demo's available for people who can't go,

and most of you manage to complain about which games...

Nice to see the votes being so spread out, there's something for everyone apparently.

If I'm not mistaken, Miyamoto mentioned he was working on a new IP, I'm hoping we'll see that.

Mario is my next favourite choice as those games always show so many aspects of the console.

How do you know what xbox you are talking, are you talkin about the first one, or one, thats what i think

I agree the name isn't really grand, but why refer to the first one as Xbox One?

Mario is often a showcase for what the console can do,

in terms of gameplay by use of a new controller and graphics. 

The use of a joystick to travel in a 3d gaming environment with Mario 64.

Using analog triggers and a second joystick to control camera and FLUDD in Sunshine.

Motion control integrated with physical button control and a stunning visual appearance with Galaxy.

Having a familiar face help you explore the possibilities of a new console is not a bad thing.

All previous major Mario's have done this fantastically and there is no reason to not continue this trend.
