"But the news for Nintendo is particularly bad. Estimated sales of the Wii U console amounted to just 59,000 units. It could even be as low as 45,000 units.

To put that in context, no current gen console has sold that few units in a month it has been on sale. Ever."

I knew the WiiU was lower than epected, but less than  59K right after launch from the largest market is simply wow.:|

Dude... Did you hear that they just announced Pokemon X/Y?

Nintendoomed.

You slow son... My bro gave me his already :P

lol, at this rate the OUYA might outsell the WiiU when it goes retail.

That's what you get for horrible advertising. Most of my friends think that the WiiU is some sort of Wii add on.

Nintendo what were you thinking??

Oh man oh man, Sony is going to make a killing this gen. It's gonna be just like old times, eh Sony? Playstation is once again gonna be slaying the competition just like back in the PS1 and PS2 days and I'm gonna be laughing and laughing as I play my AAAA PS4 exclusives!

That would be so much damage that xfans and nintendo fans would eat crow so bad that they wouldn't be able to take it. It would be great!

That what happens when your library isn't all that great.

Making things even considerably harder is the seriously unpredictable future of this industry with all of the new hardware that is out there. If anyone thinks that Sony has a cakewalk coming just because MS MIGHT be launching an inferior product(Oh wait this sounds familiar) is seriously stupid, ESPECIALLY with all of the other diversions (Tablets, mobile & whatever the f*ck is happening with the PC recently).

Seriously f*cking stupid. This isn't 2001 anymore. The world has changed considierably since the time the Playstation dominated. There are more ways than ever to get your gaming on and consoles are looking to have their market shares stolen as these other devices become more advanced.

LOl Vita.

Combine an awful name with no games...nothing to see here

Uh, they were decent actually.StaticOnTV

Dude, they were at 26 odd million. On what planet is that decent? Due to the fact they were second? Well done to being 70 odd million behind :lol:

t realize it wasn'At your post)

As for the thread i saw the wiiu failure coming from a mile away , and this negative record show it isn't THAT early to think so.

Needs a price drop & some free downloadable games.

And some attractive bundles like Deluxe set with NSMBU & Nintendo Land or Deluxe with Batman & Black Ops.

Needs to just be scrapped. Nintendo needs to go back to the drawing board and give gamers what they want...games including third-party titles that Wii U's hardware will be incapable of running

They can make the games on this platform too...

I'd say there's a lot riding on the next Smash bros. right now.

maybe thye released pikmin 3 at launch or zelda this wouldnt have happen

That what happens when your library isn't all that great.

heretrix

This. The Tablet isn't the selling point that motion control was, and the library is mostly composed of games that people who already own 360s or PS3s can play. 

Old news, and nothing is confirmed. Anyway, this thread is a duplicate. NB4LOCK.TheWalkingGhost

No this is what happens when you try using lucky gimmicks back-to-back.

WiiU is just not atractive.

Lacking Nextgen Power, No good launch games, Over Sized IPAD controller, Lacking 3rd party support again.

WiiU to me is DOA until they come out with a large load of amazing First party games, because 3rd party does not care.

2005 tech released in 2012? No surprise here.DroidPhysX

Actually, it's 1997 tech... :D
