Bundles don't count so if nland was bought by every white owner, it would be 106k, but likely a lot less in reality.
Guess Ninteno Land isn't appealing as a standalone title to people or Zombie U, COD, and Scribble have decent sales.
< 80k, you mean
This would be a travesty. Absolution is too good a game to fail. I hope it did well on PC.
Not sure if Scribblenauts on 3 is a good or bad thing.
One of the better launch games, no doubt, but it makes me wonder if everything below it sold like complete garbage.
Virtue's Last Reward sales would be greatly appreciated, btw.
What's nonsense about it? It started as high as a 3rd version in the US -- which I very much doubt they were hoping for, considering that they put a lot more effort into this one -- and it already left all European charts after just a few weeks. That's not the way a new Pokemon release normally behaves.

It doesn't help that the 3DS, after a massive price cut, costs 40 bucks more than the DS Lite launched at, that 3DS games cost 10 bucks more than DS games, and that Nintendo doesn't have sign of another Brain Age, Nintendo Dogs, or NSMB on the horizon.
Honestly at this point it looks like the 3ds was a massive mistake, and that Nintendo stupidly got into a portable graphics arm race which it had wisely ignored for the rest of its history.
I think they could have treated the DS and DSi like the Gameboy and Gameboy Color line, and continued having gigantic success. Instead they've priced themselves out of the market, and created expectations for software that have significantly slowed releases.
Uhg.
For comparison, from the Gameboy to the GBA - 1989 - 2001. 11 years, and 3 years of Gameboy Color in there. From the launch of the DS to the launch of the 3DS - 2004 to 2011, 7 years, only 2-3 years of DSi in there, and zero DSi only retail games.

Should've been the only SKU available with Nintendo Land being only a pack-in.
Good. Not for the devs that ported it, but EA doesn't deserve any revenue for that BS of a port.
Jesus, not even 100K. Wow.

I do think Japan beated USA in terms of monthly DS sold many, many times.

Would people judge a whole system on one or two games?
So many mistakes today
Not really all that bad of a November. December should be interesting, as in will systems see % increases over November, unlike last year.
Wii U did good, and we really can't say any more till we see December sales.
I think Nintendo is planning for a huge push on 3DS next year, especially with all the software hits that they should be releasing.

Vita less than 8k and PS3 less than 80k
I got the white one because it was the only one left, and at the time it wasn't obvious they'd be EVERYWHERE at the end of that week.
Oh well, at least the white looks nicer, no obvious smudging.

What were the development costs for both version of PS AllStars combined? almost 100,000 combined is O.K. I guess.

They can't be happy with Assassin's Creed 3 can they.
isn't that ignoring world wide sales?

FWIW I've overheard similar conversations where a salesperson was having to explain a 360 game wouldn't work on an xbox and a ps3 game wouldn't work on a ps2 years after the systems were released. Doesn't really change the fact that it's an issue for the wii u, but there probably isn't much Nintendo could do to avoid the issue. Many people can't be bothered to do any level of research. They should have just named the system something completely non wii related. I guess they thought there was value in the brand, but it doesn't really seem to be helping at all.
with almost 100,000 you mean almost 80,000-85,000...right?

a game nobody really asked for. no surprises there. Even still...damn that's low.
How the hell is that okay?
There is almost zero chance of this game breaking 500k worldwide considering how it's performed elsewhere.

In fairness, Nintendo Land was already present in 75% of all Wii U sales.
You can't hold it to some arbitrary standard when an existing known standard already applies. It's a third version. Third versions don't sell like the mainline games.

PS3 All-Stars = <80K
Vita All-Stars = <8K
Oh my god... in comparison, March 2008 NPD statistics put SSB: Brawl at 2.7 MILLION, 875k on its first day in North America.
No words can explain the magnitude of this floppage.
I wonder what the development costs were like with All-Stars. Hope Sony won't take too large of a hit. There's a very good chance we're not seeing a sequel, though. Not with these numbers.
welp......
And people were criticizing Microsoft for not making something similar for the Xbox 360.

The only reason, it would seem, to buy Nintendo Land as a stand-alone title is if one couldn't find the Deluxe bundle (or really prefer the color white). Since, with the Deluxe you get the system, with more memory, and the game, for cheaper than the price of the standard plus the game. And that's even assuming one wants to buy it physically, since then there's the digital option (and it's a good game to have as always on the system too).
So, given all that, frankly I'm surprised it sold as well as it did (or, the other option, that everything below it bombed horribly)

Or anyone with more than 2 brain sells would've bought the black if they wanted Nintendo land, though as we can see from the fact stand alone Nintendo land actually sold anything at all and the fact people still buy the DS there are plenty of consumers with 2 or fewer brain cells
