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?
