And raise the cost to $350 to $400...?  Are you kidding me?!

[Zombies8MyDuck]

It makes me sad that people are buying scribblenauts but i can't

[SoldMyWiiU]

[DéliopT]

Nice start for Lego City and MH.

By the way, does this apply to worldwide sales or regional sales only?

I believe it's according to North American sales.  I don't have any info on European sales.

Where can you check that info on NN? I`ll compare it.

On your Wii U, go to "Nintnedo eShop"... and then go directly to "Charts".  And voila... you're there.

I think it's obvious that Lego City was in the top 3 due to all the shipping errors, and people wanting to get the game early. F-Zero sales were likely for last minute buys before the 30 cent deal was up, and Punch Out being #1 at 30 cents is a given. Sad to see Mighty Switch Force being lower on the list, it certainly deserves more sales.

 

P.S: I am disturbed by the lack of Croods on this list.

exactly! How many times do people have to hear that? lol

[KarlMarx1818]

thanks for posting this.

I think they should have included a hard drive. That way people don't have to risk their money buying hard drives that don't work. In my case all I had to do was buy a Y-Cable. But its incredibly hard to buy a external hard drive thats less than 500GB now adays, which for a non-multimedia device like the Wii U I would say 250 GB is all you would need throughout the product life-cycle.... TOPS.

Great refreshing look on the sales chart though. 

Also, I thought EA wasn't working with Nintendo do bring games on the Wii U??? Does this mean we may see Battlefield 4 on Wii U? =D

Let me take this moment to share my sad story about how I alwase wanted to play battlefield. My earliest experience was with BF: 2142, two of my good friends were playing it and I was over at their house. It looked so fun, with vehicles and teams and stuff! Eventually they got bored of it and let me borrow it... but my pc was crap and it was a slide show even on lowest settings. The next chance was Bad Company. I finally got it for the XBox360, sure it was two years after release but thats ok, well we are moving houses but I'll play it in the new one! Yay! A few hours setting up the living room... wait a minute... the Ethernet cable doesn't reach to where the router is... And now my laptop is too crappy to run battlefield 3, so I'm going to have to skip that. My next great hope is with battlefield 4! I can't afford to get a next gen consol or a new pc/laptop, and nor do I want to get a ps3/360 with wifi since they are late into their life-cycle (some may argue thats better value), so the Wii U is my last bastion of hope.*Sniff*

It wouldn't have been that much if they included a hard drive rather than NAND.  NAND is more expensive per GB but a hard drive would have been sufficient and would have been cheaper overall.  It would have changed the dimensions of the console however and would have had to be removable.

This. Although I don't know if it necessarily needs to be removable.

True it could have been permanent, but they would be looking at higher failure rates because of that if they did.  Either way, the console would have to be significantly fatter and would eat up more power for the drive, that heat has to go somewhere.
