What did it actually sell then? 5,000 units? My main man Krillin. People laugh and joke, but he will rise again.

This is because of the price cut btw. I don't believe it has anything to do with the conference. And that gif is amazing.
 
Wait, there was a price cut? :lol this is nothing noteworthy then, at all. In fact, only going up to #48 after the cut is kinda bad. To put it into perspective, it's one spot ahead of a 32 gb Vita memory card.
 
I love my Wii U but people reacting this way to the XBO reveal seems insane.

Why? This isn't necessarily because XBone had a "bad" reveal. Just because it had a reveal in the first place. It's no longer an ideal unknown imaginary console, it's become something tangible. People might have just been holding out, waiting to see what their options were.

This is a good point. All the players have shown their cards. Its time to gamble people.

Mmm....
 
I think the bigger news is that it got a £70 price cut.

I wonder if that's an official cut or just Amazon being Amazon.

I don't know about Amazon UK but it has been ~50€ cheaper since even before official release on amazon france a somewhere else I can't remember.
 
Yeah, I read that in another forum. I know it doesn't mean much to a lot of people but this is a horrible market for the WiiU and it is doing something now.

I said at the time; it needed to be £200 at launch, and that's where I hope they go this year. Pack in Nintendo Land or Wii U Party on the basic and aim for £190 or thereabouts, for starters.
 
Wait it had an official price cut?

No official prices in the UK really.

What's the point in this graph? It just shows the price of the WiiU go up and then down.

The WiiU on Amazon recently had a price drop this week or last in the UK. This can be attributed to the rise as many in the UK market uses websites such as Hotdeals UK to jump on bargains. They have a wide audience.
