I miss the numbers. Number 6 for DmC doesn't say much by itself.

Yeah. Is it 500K which would be great, or 200K which would be awful.

Correction to previous tweets: CUMULATIVE three-month Wii U sales are down 38% vs. Wii's first three months on the market. Apologies!

Wii 436k+604k+476k
Wii U ???+800k? = 939k

 

[Raist]

I don't believe that 270k figure for a second.

 

[TheOddOne]

LOL

THIS SO MUCH.

 

[DaBoss]

Cumulative 3-month sales would make January...55k? Is that right?

God damn.

 

[Yawnier]

Oh wow, lol.

 

[allan-bh]

55K.. WHAT?

 

[Zero148]

Wii U only 10k lower than 360, but its multiplats sell less the Vita versions? Does that make sense?

of course, if those 270k WiiU is correct, the consoles sold without any additional software besides Nintendoland or with Mario/ZombiU.

edit: nevermind, fire Reggie

 

[Foshy]

So Wii U hasn't passed a million yet? I'm confused.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Cumulative 3-month sales would make January...55k? Is that right?

Yikes. In a 5-week January.

 

[javac]

And in one swift swoop, the Wii U dream went from alive to dead.

 

[RoKKeR]

lol. If this is true, GAF is going to implode. 270k in a relatively terrible sales month AND no software? Oh, man. popcorn.gif

The number simply isn't accurate.

 

[Elios83]

950k units for Wii U LTD according to the latest Gamasutra tweet.
So < 100k month for WiiU?

 

[USC-fan]

Wow awesome for the WIIU! What is everyone buying?

edit: wow nevermind...

 

[Kusagari]

Both 55k and 270k sound absurd.

Can we get confirmation from someone besides Gamasutra.

 

[chertipros]

Wii U bomba

 

[ezekial45]

Was there any marketing besides online ADs?

Japan had a TV ad, but that was it. The west didn't have any TV ads, they just stuck with the online marketing.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I'm coming back in half hour. Hopefully all dis shit is sorted out.

 

[shinra-bansho]

11K a week doesn't seem feasible.

 

[GuardianE]

Was there any marketing besides online ADs?

Plenty of print ads too.

I can't believe someone beat you to the punch.

 

[Cheebo]

55k hahaha WHAT

 

[BearPawB]

This is my favorite gaf thread of recent memory

 

[Guevara]

Wow awesome for the WIIU! What is everyone buying?

An Xbox 360, apparently

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Wii U would be between 50k - 60k for january.

Can someone bring the dreamcast chart?

 

[Pachterballs]

Cumulative 3-month sales would make January...55k? Is that right?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

55k

I might get on this doomed bandwagon.

Assuming gamasutra isn't completely off again.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Um Gamasutra, Wii came out in November, not October.

Wait, are they saying Wii U did north of 300K now?! WTF is going on

is this real life

EDIT: oh god lol

 

[PhoenixDawn]

55k and 270k are both unbelievable. Hopefully someone sorts out this mess because they clearly are having troubles at the moment, haha.

 

[javac]

Wow awesome for the WIIU! What is everyone buying?

Obviously not Wii U's by the look of it.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Yeah but remember it's suffering shortages and supply issues.

 

[Foshy]

11K a week doesn't seem feasible.

That's how much it's selling over in Japan too.

 

[Version 3.0]

Edited my last post, but this thread is too fast:

55k may not be far-fetched. Gamecube's 3rd month - also January - was 59k. And the Wii U has sold less each month than the Gamecube did.

 

[teiresias]

Haha, this thread is already mega-entertaining as everyone jockeys for the proper Wii-U reaction!!!

 

[MasterSheen]

Creamsugar please help us I'm so confused

 

[teh_pwn]

In my opinion, having 3DS do better and WiiU do horribly is a good thing. It sends the right message: Release a system with plenty of good games and have a consistent release schedule. Maybe it's just my personal preference is Nintendo games of GC era and older, but I just am not interested in Wii U's current games and I'm glad the industry isn't rewarded for those sorts of titles. I look forward to getting a WiiU when Nintendo releases some quality content.

 

[Tucah]

55k is completely crazy on the other end of the scale. WHAT'S GOING ON

 

[Road]

The only way that 38% is over 3 months is if NPD adjusted Wii hardware sales for January 2007 dramatically.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Seems all will be alright in the world then.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

LOL at the 2 extremes for the Wii U. Dreams broken right there.

 

[metalslimer]

Jesus fucking christ thats pretty much dead numbers. Has wii even sold that littleyet

 

[schuelma]

I find the 55k number almost as unbelievable as the 270k one.

 

[Megadragon15]

Gamasutra is confusing the heck out of people.

 

[pieatorium]

Yeah neither 270 nor 55 seems plausible to me so lets add them together and divide by 2 for 162.5 lol

 

[Nirolak]

Please tell me I'm doing my math wrong:

476 + 604 + 436 = 1516

1516 * 0.62 = 940

940 - 425 - 460 = 55K Wii Us

 

[EloquentM]

Holy shit, so MS confirms Wii U is next gen?

Why're you surprised? The next Xbox will be competing with Wii U and orbis in the coming years. Do you expect Durango to compete with Xbox 360 or ps3? Microsoft knows what a generation actually is.

 

[Pachterballs]

what did pachterdamus say? He said 120. I said 80 in that thread.

 

[liger05]

Wii U would be between 50k - 60k for january.

Can someone bring the dreamcast chart?

Pachter wrong again. He said 100k.

Its in big trouble and there is no games on the horizon to help.

 

[yon61]

From 270k to 55k, one extreme to another... LOL

 

[Baconsammy]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Good bye WiiU, it was nice knowing you
