The percentage in MS PR is include WiiU.

360>ps3>100k>50k>Wii>40k>WiiU>30k

Yikes.

Also fits well with the extrapolation based on NPD's -38% March->April

I'm going to guess 105K PS3, 45K Wii, 33K Wii U.

Less than 10K per week for Wii U. Abysmal.

Damn, Wii U between 30-40k? Creamsugar dropping the bomb.

 

[metalslimer]

Wii U below 40k.....it's over. Time to ride out an agonizing generation Nintendo.

Time to do the math.

360>ps3>100k>50k>Wii>40k>WiiU>30k

So, in short, the WiiU sold Soul Sacrifice numbers. Ouch.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

They didn't let them walk away. They went to iOS/Android/Facebook/etc. If anything Nintendo pretty much abandoning that audience on the Wii was the biggest mistake they've made in the last decade. They wanted to get in the core gaming dollars and have failed miserably.

Surely they must of thought or even one person high up at Nintendo , that a lot of these core gamers were waiting to invest into platforms with significant leaps over predecessors, that have strong third party support and robust online networks.

I remember the buzz about Project Cafe, it was great, then we end up with Wii U.

 

[Baconsammy]

Wii U in the 30s? A brand new low has been reached for consoles ever sold in a month. Wow.

 

[Miles X]

360>ps3>100k>50k>Wii>40k>WiiU>30k

Did you mean to put PS3 between 100k and 50k?

 

[BlackJace]

Womp womp wooooooooomp

 

[Pie and Beans]

Clocking off on the bombshell of WiiU beneath 40k. Good lord.

Imagine if it sold the same as SS. IMAGINE.

Holy shit. That is unbelievably awful.

Vita numbers are so bad, they aren't even included

Spoiler

kidding

Ouch at Wii U though. That is horrendous.

 

[javac]

Whoomp, there it is.

I can go to bed now.

Take the Wii U gamepad with ya on the way out!

Nintendo never learns it seems.

 

[creamsugar]

Operation Rainfall ~ 20k

 

[SmokyDave]

it's closer to 1.3m about now.

Sigh. That's pretty painful.

Ah, well then I'm not too sure if 33k is that good, but then again it's a niche title. So maybe not bad once you factor in digital sales as well (if you Vita owners are like me, you prefer the digital versions).

I dunno. Speculating on digital sales always draws the ire of people, so I'll just say I hope they made up a nice proportion. Certainly I'm 100% DD on Vita, including SS.

 

[AniHawk]

my unofficial guess was 40k-45k. looks like that was off. i was contemplating going lower.

worst-case scenario: the wii u is selling 7.5k units a week. best-case scenario: a little under 10k a week.

 

[DaBoss]

Operation Rainfall ~ 20k

I wonder what XSEED expected for Pandora's Tower.

 

[Kusagari]

Just because there are reasons for the sales to not be good, doesn't make it good.

I haven't seen anyone say they're good. The numbers are just about the best that could have been expected and could have been far worse.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Those Wii U numbers are just a disgrace.

Nintendo needs to react....and fast.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Wii U below 40k.....it's over. Time to ride out an agonizing generation Nintendo.

Why now? 55K and under 40K are both horrendous.

 

[Y2Kev]

100k>50k

megaton

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Wow. That's.... wow. I mean GameCube's first April was bad, but this is.... wow.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

30k ?? No excuses, that is horrendous

 

[1-D_FTW]

No words.

My god, what a disaster.

 

[Kazerei]

Operation Rainfall ~ 20k

Sorry guys, I was a Rainfall supporter and I didn't even buy this game.

 

[Drago]

megaton

lol

 

[mujun]

Games are undoubtedly front-loaded, but to the degree that only the first week really matters? I'm not buying it.

My impression from these threads was that most games do something like 80% of their first month sales in the first week.

Experts?

 

[Delusibeta]

I wonder what they expected for Pandora's Tower.

Eh, considering how much work was required (i.e. printing discs and light advertising), XSEED probably still made a profit on it.

 

[Dysun]

Terrible numbers for it's 6th month

 

[AniHawk]

megaton

npd might not be able to make 50k anymore if 100k keeps outperforming it.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Creamsugar, can you say whether Vita Monster Hunter Killer >/< Nintendo new console?

 

[Liquid_Bike]

Wow 35k for the Wii U is beyond bad it takes this train wreck to a new level!

 

[cyborg009]

How many days were Soul sacrifice tracked for?

 

[Refreshment.01]

Wii U comparison chart with DreamCast and GameCube. Please, some kind soul.

 

[creamsugar]

DDDA: both version < 30k

[metalslimer]

It's going to go lower. Nothing to change the tide until Pikmin 3. No platform has rebounded from these kinds of numbers. It's so historically bad that its unfathomable. Hell if you had suggested these numbers months ago you might have been banned for trolling.

 

[Loudninja]

Operation Rainfall ~ 20k

Good for Xseed is it not?

First time in years that VGC*artz was right.

I was close.

Unfortunately, the range isn't long enough.

 

[Delusibeta]

DDDA: both version < 30k

Dublin Docklands Development Authority must really be struggling.

 

[Pooya]

DDDA: both version < 30k

you mean combined I assume, welp shit.

 

[Freki]

If you put PS3 at 100k that leaves Wii+WiiU at ~80k.

Wii at 45k and WiiU at 35k seems to be a fair guess.

 

[Kusagari]

DDDA: both version < 30k

LOL now that is bad.

 

[ascii42]

I dunno. Speculating on digital sales always draws the ire of people, so I'll just say I hope they made up a nice proportion. Certainly I'm 100% DD on Vita, including SS.

At least with digital you know that the people who really matter (publishers, developers) know exactly how many their games are selling, and can use that information to help determine future support, even if we rarely get that information.

 

[Refreshment.01]

30k ?? No excuses, that is horrendous

I heard dev kits were not finished.

Any comparison to other consoles in the same time frame?

Edit: On the plus side NIntendo can go only up from here with any important release.
