Yeah, it ain't great. IMO the reason WiiU is selling so bad is marketing. The games are there, but not enough people know about them.

While this is all true, Look at those dates. The physical copy of Windwaker HD didn't launch until a week atfter this range ended. Which means that the Zelda bundle was only out for 6 days! yeah, it's not gonna sell millions of units in 6 days. I'll be more interested in between now and Christmas. I think we will have the potential for around 7 million sold by the end of the year with Zelda being in the complete equation and Super Mario 3D World, along with everything third party. A lot of my friends here at college have only really started considering it since around the end of September with Zelda and pokemon they were very nintendo focused. I say wait and see a little while longer.

 

 

But yeah, marketing the hell out of the console would be a good idea nonetheless.

By the end of the fiscal year possibly if mario kart comes out in march, but I highly doubt we will see 7 million by the end of the calendar year.

Sony changed the name of the playstation 4?

 

Sorry, was talking the PS3.

It will be less enjoyable because it will mean less 3rd party support in the future. But looking at the vgchartz site, it seems it's picking up in sales the last month, going from around 20k units a week when it was worst to around 50-60k units recently. We'll see what happens.


Because much more people care about Nintendo.

Much more people hate Nintendo*

How many units has the 3DS sold in total?

Where did ign get these numbers?

Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii U sold just 460,000 units worldwide in the six month period ending September 30, 2013.

I bought mine back in April- I was disappointed in the lack of selection back then, but figured I could wait a few months till some of the other titles came out, as I'm a casual gamer. Will it be enough to have the prospects of Smash Bros., Donkey Kong, and a few others to take the plunge with the titles out, scheduled to come out in Nov./Dec.?
