Do you live in the US? I see ads all of the time when my TV is on and I barely watch TV.
I do. Maybe I'm just not watching the right shows.

Those DS numbers, super impressive that it is still chugging along like that. Wii U launch numbers seem uninspiring, but not enough so to call it a flop? It'll be interesting to see how the system fares up until Christmas, is there any chance better stock replenishments could help the WiiU sell strong over the Holidays? Or is it likely to dull any sort of frenzy around the system, sending the message that it's just not that desirable a product?
Nintendo just fucking kill off the DS already. this is getting embarrassing. The 3Ds and DS sales have been way to close in the past few NPDs
I just worked out the low numbers and higher wii numbers.
Gonna be a lot of pissed off kids on Christmas day, all excited. WiiU, WiiU, WiiU, WiiU, ohhhh Wii. You got me that last year wahhhhhhhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhh![]()

Where does that 50% drop for 3DS come from?
Last year Nintendo didn't provide figures for 3DS.
That's because the DS is actually at a price where parents are cool handing them off to their kids to possibly break.
I still haven't seen a single ad on television.
Jan-Feb-March will be telling. Isn't that when PS3 started to tank after launch?
From the other thread, all previous hardware launches (credit to lunchwithyuzo).

Yet they apparently sold less than the Wii did in its first week. So has it really sold out?Scott Moffitt said:We have said that we’ll have more Wii U units on store shelves in week one than we did for Wii in 2006. (...) Having said that, though, we’re guessing there could be shortages. It won’t be there every day. Shipments coming in each week could sell very quickly.
So NSMB and 3DS XL barely did anything. It´s again proves that price matters the most.
3DS sales speak for themselves. Could be worse, but still pretty bad.
Wii U... uh, unless supply was significantly lower than Wii's at launch, that doesn't look good.

At this point every Wii / DS unit sold is a very healthy profit for Nintendo, so I assume they can't be complaining too much about the high Wii / DS sales, even if it's bad for the 8th gen ecosystem.

400k seems okay but word is there were several supply constraints. I think the Wii sold around 700-800k in its first weekend.
Wii doing well bodes well for PS360 surely?
360 and PS3 had some insanely good bundles. I expect nothing less than a million from each.
? NPD has the wii selling 476k in the entire month of November. how could it have done that much on a weekend?400k seems okay but word is there were several supply constraints. I think the Wii sold around 700-800k in its first weekend.
Wii U is at cheapest 50 dollars more expensive.
Why is this concept so alien to you guys? It's been happening since the NES.

has the PS3 ever hit that high?

Not after inflation though.Wii U is at cheapest 50 dollars more expensive.

Adjusted for inflation they are nearly equal (although the $300 Wii U does not have a pack-in).
....and here's why they're price cutting. The dedicated handheld market in NA is under serious pressure.
According to NPD Wii sold short of 500k units in November 2006. This is actually 100k less than the number Nintendo stated.
3DS cost only $30 bucks more and has full BC with DS and still DS sells more. Really damn puzzling. Are people still confusing these two devices?
