That's the same thing. It's called Research & Development. Their devs teams used to literally be called R&D 1,2,4 etc. Yet people somehow still assumes that the R&D costs have nothing to do with games for some reason
Wasn't it only released in an Animal Crossing bundle?

Where'd that figure come from?
Still waiting for a Pokémon Dash sequel which runs like some of the PokéPark Pikachu's Adventure games.
Yeah it's more The Pokémon Company than Nintendo, but still

3DS software keep selling well after all.
Evergreen titles are no surprise by now, though Mario Kart 7 selling close to a million in the last 3 months of the past year is surely a nice result. Tomodachi Life is perhaps the biggest surprise, considering that 3m units come from Western countries (and I suspect most of them from Europe). Also, Luigi's Mansion 2 close to 5m is also astonishing.

Yowzas, the bundle only limitations are showing, wonder if that n3DS Pokemon bundle will squeeze out another 50k, I can't be the only one flashing faceplates.

where the fuck is donkey kong
Mamamia that legs
And Luigi Mansion still sold another 140k? nlg must be ecstatic for sure.^~^ hope federation force will be able to perform at least half as well as this one too.(it wont sadly.)
SMM and Splatoon is also monster level here. Both sold 1 mil and considering how Ninty still promote both title not only frpm normal marketing means but also through many youtubers channel, i feel the legs is going to be as long as Waluigi legs lol.
I thought Xenoblade Cross perform much better vs original Xenoblade here especially when it is facing all those problem from zero jrpg audience to very small hardware sold. While in Jp, it fail to outperform ori xeno, i thought in US and Euro it outperform Xenoblade?
And i think it is just example of Takahashi wanted to do something different here. Cross is totally different compared to Blade which both had their own pro and cons, where i will said, i like cross much more than blade here.^~^
Combined the chart:
Splatoon - 1,640,000 / 4,060,000
Super Mario Maker - 1,510,000 / 3,340,000
Mario Kart 8 - 1,370,000 / 7,240,000
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer - 910,000 / 2,930,000
Mario Kart 7 - 840,000 / 13,030,000
Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire - 770,000 / 11,460,000
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - 580,000 / 4,610,000
New Super Mario Bros. 2 - 570,000 / 10,040,000
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS - 550,000 / 7,920,000
Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 420,000 / 9,440,000
Super Mario 3D Land - 420,000 / 10,630,000
Tomodachi Life - 410,000 / 4,890,000
Pokémon X / Y - 310,000 / 14,460,000
New Super Mario Bros. U - 200,000 / 5,080,000

My God, that's such a huge drop off from Returns.
Everything on WiiU is a huge drop off from Wii (although I expected a bit better).
Look at the Wii million selling games list (updated as March 2015):

Well obviously there is an big interest for Animal Crossing+ their amiibos and cards and still there isnt any AC for the Wii U.. Damn you Nintendo, drown in my tears!
Thanks, I should have known that.
Still, my point remain I hope the promises of more development teams are true(I think they said that they expanded). In my book most if the collaborations with other developers have not created many great games (except for platinum and Namco Bandai if we count smash) But hopefully the internal teams will deliver for the NX.

Single player games are no longer sells very well these days. So you cant expect more than 1-2 million (3-4 LTD if the platform released is bigger and popular) from those well reviewed games, but from multiplayer oriented games you can easily get more than 3-4 if it was reviewed well.
NX my friend. Imagine this time it combine New leaf and all HHD feature.... It will be TITS!!!
Not so sure about that, look at Fallout 4, witcher 3 etc.
I loved DK:TF but the reason it sold bad cannot only be explained by lack of online.

I mainly buy the animal crossing amiibos for my GF but land sakes alive I'll be justified when you can finally use them in a true animal crossing game.
Thanks for everything Wii! My favorite console since the Snes, and unfortunately terribly underrated even here.
There's fuck all else; it's no surprise.

Software isn't too shabby, noice.
I'm glad that Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon sold this well. I'm also glad that Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis flopped, and that Zelda TFH marked another decline for the Zelda series.
Wish that some of their digital titles were more popular. boxboy, Fullblox, Hydroventure, and Steel Diver Sub Wars are all pretty great titles.

People keep saying this, yet it fails to explain all the poorly selling Wii U-titles that are out there.

Nintendo's first party attach rates are insane. Mario Kart 8
And I can't believe Animal Crossing HHD and Tri Force Heroes sold so much... I'm the biggest Zelda fan and can't bring myself to look at Tri Force Heroes twice, it's looks like such an incredibly lazy effort.
People need some way to downplay games like Splatoon and Mario Kart.
Makes me all the more confused about the WSJ predictions mentioning soft amiibo sales. Did I misunderstand that?

because the original document is in japanese, and they have 'ten thousands' as a word (万

How did Triforce heroes mark a decline? And how why would you be glad? Thats backwards as hell the game is a spinoff and the new mainline zelda is coming this year that we all know is gonna do damage... You just hate Zelda or something? And dont give me no backwards answer either cause that legit dont make sense.
Those people were kidding themselves to begin with though. NLG does great work. They didn't deserve the blowback that game got. The petition to cancel the game was abhorrent behavior from fans.

AC and Zelda were nice surprises - surely successful spin-offs considering how cheap they were (in terms of development, they basically reused all assets from previous games). In particular, Zelda showed how 3DS has an audience for the IP willing to experiment different ideas - good word-of-mouth might help the game in the future. Also, it is worth noticing the lack of 3DS hesvy hitters in the last quarters, and this surely helped those games.
I'm actually surprised TFH sold (shipped) this well.
It's a spinoff, not a mainline game in the series.
Yeah but still, they're up overall on last year
WSJ are already starting their doom story about it being down on Q3 last year haha
Were the numbers Vinny posted that you were replying to not considered good numbers?
Well, we know Paper Mario is rumored. And Pikmin 4 will very possibly come, too, since Miyamoto-san announced it as nearing completion last August or so. As others have indicated the lack of upcoming releases or of dates after April may signal NX in some form (or in full)coming later this year
The decline in quality is obviously not what I am happy about. But when they just release a cheap cash-in, I am glad that sales are declining. A Link Between The Worlds sold 2.18 mio in its first 6 weeks. Wind Waker HD sold 1.15 mio in its first 3.5 months.
Looks like Skyward Sword and the DS games and now Tri Force Heroes did not only sour my fandom for the series.
For once, the consumers (relative to spin-off series sales) knew better than the reviewers. 😉

Decline with respect to...? TriForce Heroes is a spin-off and the other Zelda game released in 2015 sold more than the previous mainline entry though being a remake. Also, TriForce Heroes might outsell the previous multiplayer Zelda game.

Come on, Skyward Sword was fantastic :/
Even as a spin-off, it's a step down in term of quality. Just look at Four Sword Adventures.

The numbers say the obvious. Mainly Nintendo fans are buying their platform but not much more.

Holy fu... MK8. Is going to be the 3er best selling MK game on console. Where is the Polygon pie to celebrate?
Skyward Sword and the DS-games are all great though. Triforce Heroes on the other hand is just trash unfortunately.
