NextGen_TBPosted 2/14/2013 8:49:13 PM | Well, NO S*** a console with so few games sold terribly IMMEDIATELY AFTER the holiday season.

SkullcrushinPosted 2/15/2013 11:59:36 AM | Indeed and there's no cause for worry, the exclusives are more often than not enjoyable so there is plenty to look forward to.
People are often obsessed with console sales and are determined to support a single console as if it were a football team and argue that their choice of console dominates all others.
Don't let it bother you. |

TheBonfiniPosted 2/15/2013 12:04:38 PM | No competing console on the market sold as little in their 6-7 year lifespan as the Wii-U failed to sell in only its third month with no other "next gen" competition.
I think Nintendo isn't doing as amazing as they had hoped. Continually losing third party support is not helping. --- www.facebook.com/mikebonfini Sapphic ladies - http://i.imgur.com/hU2rJ.jpg |
snae99Posted 2/15/2013 12:04:54 PM | This board is just plain awful. The only reason I still come here is for any news on Nintendo Directs. Anyway, the new bundle should boost sales and Monster Hunter comes out next month. --- Currently playing: Fire Emblem: Awakening |

Really guys, you're grasping now. Then how come the PS3 didn't even sell this badly in its first January? The only PS3 game released that month was Sonic the hedgehog. add to that, the stupidly high $599 price tag and yet somehow it sold so much more then the Wii U has in its first January. |
SkullcrushinPosted 2/15/2013 12:11:17 PM | Perhaps current economic conditions havn't helped in console sales at present |

MH has been out in JP and failed to move units, what makes you think it will boost sales in the west where the brand isn't as strong as it is in JP. --- XBOX360 - It only does everything.

Because there had been shortages of PS3s in 2006 and thus people who would have bought it at launch had to wait. Even though it sold like 250k in January its lifetime numbers to that point were much less than Wii U's, seemingly under 1 mil while Wii U is over 3 mil. --- http://terosclassicgaming.blogspot.com/ - Watch me beat "GBA Summon Night Swordcraft Story" http://www.backloggery.com/tero - My backloggery |
