I guess we'll find out if you're alone soon enough. The dude I was responding to, though, seemed to be suggesting that the game didn't upgrade the graphics in any kind of drastic way. Or something.

The art directions shits on most ps360 games from a great hieght, but technically the graphics look wii-like.
Once again, I don't think you know the defintion of "port"
How many Wii games have self shadowing and SSAO while running in 1080p?
Edit: this is a sales thread - what in the Sam hill are we doing?

I think people know why they keep going back to Mario, I think the problem have is that their response to those great sales is to make:
New Super Mario Bros U
Mario Kart 8
Super Mario 3D World

Last thing I'm posting about the topic.
Sorry if this is a bit ott.
Doesn't matter. What people will see is a game that looks 10 years old when they see commercials or screenshots. Nintendo should have had a stunning game from day 1 to help sell the console to people. :shrug:

To be fair no one has had a stunning game from day 1. Last time was Halo in 2001.

Alright so we're going with 31k for WiiU.
I'll be updating the NIntendo First Year Performance graph, be right back...
(there's got to be an easier way than imageshack everytime ugh...)

Fair enough. I just wish there was one Wii u game that could be pointed to while saying "that looks next gen 100% without question" like Ryse, Forza, or Infamous.

US only?
Just look for "pixel counting" in the Nintendo results thread in October. ImageJ will get quite the workout.Man, ImageJ used for video game pie chart analysis.Now I've seen everything :-D
Fucking gifs in an NPD thread, for the love of Chrome.
Interestingly enough on PSN the ratio is nearly the inverse going by the flawed metric that is the number of user ratings.

Um...The Wii U isn't as powerful as the X1, PS4 so...
Wii U numbers for DI are definitely a good indicator of what the userbase generally wants when you compare it to SC:B Wii U numbers.
just a pie
I get ...
360 = 150.26°
Wii or Wii U = 50.74°
PS3 = 111.18°
Wii or Wii U = 47.72°
=>
360 - 96K
PS3 - 71K
Wii or Wii U - 32.4K
Wii or Wii U - 30.5K
So going with ...
3DS: > 130K
360: 96K
PS3: 71K
Wii: 32.4K
Wii U: 30.5K
PSV: 29K
creamsugar,
What ~% was the Black 3DSXL of the total 3DS sales for the month? Maybe another chart?

Do people think WW HD is a huge deal that will sell a bunch of Wii U's?
Come on... it looks better than most remasters and remakes but it is what it is. I personally think it's overpriced, but that's just my opinion. I don't think it's going to have the impact of OOT 3DS, and wouldn't even come close to an actual new Zelda game.

Basically the same thing they wanted on Wii.

29K
cream posted it earlier.
We came to the conclusion that the Wii U is the blue one, which is smaller than the grey one. It is due to the console's main colors we came to that conclusion.
It seems like a downgrade from the GameCube version, in at least some ways, due to the removal of the Tingle Tuner.
Yes, but not the %. With the % of total 3DS sales that the Black 3DSXL made up, we can get an actual number for total 3DS sales.

'Shouldn't vita be below wii u? The grammar isn't clear but I read it as vita almost outsold the Wii u. Check back next month suggests slight weekly up uptick due to price drop that, given full month, would out it on top.

hm. i'm going to say 42k for the wii u next month.
it's currently doing about 7-8k a week, and has been for a while.
7k for three weeks, plus wow gee-whiz tripled sales for the fourth week is 21k. add them together and a 12k increase over august.
i think it's october that's a five-week month this year.

Wii has been > Wii U in prior months, so probably a good assumption. Changing.
Edit:
More good reasoning on the subject.

Derp, sorry, misread what you said.
Also, don't know if you saw my edit:

And above reasoning would make sense lol.
I think Zelda bundle for $300 can do better than that.
As long as it isn't complete shovelware and helps boost sales of the hardware so that Nintendo can get working on more niche titles I'm absolutely fine with that.
if sales continued on what they were from july until the price drop, vita sales quadrupled in the last week. if that stayed constant through september, sales would wind up around 68k for the month. my guess is that it will wind up around half that (34-40k).

Noticeable but not impactful in the long run. And you have to think that a lot of the people who really care about WW are the same kind of people who would buy any Nintendo console day one.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Vita has the hooks with indies and PS4 so it will stick around. The Wii U will essentially be a Nintendo player - much more so than any other Nintendo system.
As a young console, the Wii U has a lot higher percentage of core gamers and a lot higher percentage of active systems than the old pS3 and 360. It SHOULD have a higher penetration rate.
And also, as someone else said, penetration rate means very little to companies who are trying to recoup their costs and make money.
i'm treating the 7k/w as a given, so it all comes down to how well it does in the final week of the month. if it quadruples sales, then monthly numbers would be around 50k. if it quintuples sales, then we're getting close to 60k. the problem with 35k/w is that it would mean more people would be buying a wii u at a faster rate than the 3ds. even if it's just one week, it's ridiculously high. that's why 60k is the absolute max i can see it reaching.
Up from 4k to 16k on last week?
PS3 just got one!!
Are you really suggesting that indies on Vita and streaming PS4 games are better selling points than Nintendo's games on the Wii U? Even then, the Wii U is getting indie games too. I see the Vita being dropped in NA before the Wii U. Vice versa in Japan and Europe.

Not gonna lie, there was a few months where I forgot the Vita existed. Granted this was between the PS4 and Xbox One reveals and I had personal manners too, but it just completely slipped my mind that the Vita was a thing.
the vita isn't selling in japan because of indies. it's selling because of a particular type of software. the wii u will be able to make a home for family-oriented games and kid-friendly games beyond nintendo's stuff. we're already seeing it happen.

Looking at Pikmin 3's sales WW so far it doesn't look like it is going to turn a profit. With such a small userbase Nintendo is unlikely to start funding big 50 million dollar projects for it.
yeah, that's my running guess.

No. I'm suggesting it will have a better shot of maintaining a dedicated niche audience than the Wii U, which will sell more but have a more casual audience who will buy less and definitely care less.
But they will at least buy Mario, Mario Kart, Smash, and Zelda, so it will definitely outsell the Vita in the end.
