Maybe it means that they expect it to bounce right back to 3K after this week's boost. :p

We couldn't give up before? I feel like sometime around last E3 was the death knell.

Sounds more like Party numbers to me as well. That would also make sense with the comgnet numbers

50k for Wii U at this point would be a real party though

Wii U hasn't risen above 21K in weekly sales since the week of December 31st, 2012, so yes, 50K sales would be a real treat.

50k sounds like Wii U Party given what we've heard abut sell-through at retail. I think we would've seen it perform better on Amazon even if that isn't always the best measure of success, but for the bundles to be in stock and not even hit the top 100 makes it unlikely that the system is at such a high level of demand. 50k would probably equate to total sell-through or close to it. Even though there were a bunch of Vita colors the week it hit 60k, there were several of them in the top 20.

I think that around E3 we saw a good amount of potential big sellers (MK, Mario, DK, Smash, and so on), but then we saw the console unable to responde to Pikmin, Zelda, bundles, price cut and so on...don't know, I'm way more pessimistic today than in July

It is in some way a paradox but perhaps the horrendous low sales of WiiU these last weeks shows that people are waiting the bundles. So, they show an interest.
Would the sales have remain the same, it could have mean that people don't give a shit.
Of course, one should not expect an incredible rise, and it should only be a peak.

Or these low sales just mean that people don't care about the WiiU at all...

No way Wii U will have sold 50k units :lol

I think it's between 10k-25k at max and probably Wii Party U selling 50k

I don't think anyone expects 50k ?

But 50k for Wii U Party sounds realistic to me

Well, Vita did 60k in the Vita-2000 week.

Although, I don't see it happening.

new model and colors and handheld> (console) bundle

But when Pikmin 3 and ~90k only pushed it to ~20k, I just can't see Wii U Party and bundle pushing it to 50 :/

I can see WiiU around 18K, sure not 50K

18K would be shittastic.

If one takes the 5.5K it did at week 39 as some sort of baseline, and assume the terrible sales it's been having from week 40-43 are due to the bundle announcement, the delta sums to 9K, which would mean an underlying boost in week 44 of only like 3.5K over week 39.

30-40K would be more respectable, although still low in absolute terms.

I found the top 10 of the wiiu to be very interesting because with the exception of Rayman and Epic Mickey, which were new releases, all of the games are the only games with good (well, good is a strong word, i should say not as bad) performances. Even old as hell releases like Monster Hunter are still there, where a lot of other titles are nowhere to be seen. The software list for the wiiu is as sad as it could be. It's situation is much like the wii top 10, with the exception that the wii saw only a couple of releases in the last two years...

And i saw the blog post. It's weird, because it's phrase doesn't look like it's being directed to Party U, but at the same time, 50k sales couldn't be for the Wii U for the love of god.

My bet is the number is on Wii Party U and the comment is for the Wii U because the number is not as high as it could be.
