Don't worry guys, panic Nintendo is best Nintendo!

 

[Momo]

Wii U is dead, ninfags. DEAD. D E A D.

[maxy]

 

[fistfulofmetal]

video games are so fucked!

[Cerveza mas fina]

I don't think Andy is coming back any time soon.

[Cerveza mas fina]

i think he'll be back before long

i wonder which of the two of us people will believe

yeah sorry I don't pm with andy like you congrats on the inside track on his life

can u pm andy about his opinion on 55k?

[Cerveza mas fina]

I believe you

Are there any meltdowns on GAF?

[Cerveza mas fina]

I particulary enjoy sony fans too atm, already thinking they are getting the throne back for sure

[maxy]

Yeah,Nintendo stuck in quicksand,MS gone casual chasing ad money

Sony is back baby

[MyNameIsMethodis]

wow what a twat leaking the dmc numbers I even saw them on another forum like 20 minutes after up osted them and I was like "wow it must just be common knowledge and oscar just aint that ITK" but nope we have a TRAITOR here laides and gentlemans.

[maxy]

zomg dude said that Europe is about the same as US(5 week period)...at best

About 220k in January worldwide.

[Cerveza mas fina]

GAF at the moment:

- MS has gone off the deep end and is only about that Apple money with Netflix/ Hulu/ Smart Glass and other non games. They will fail miserably.
- Nintendo is stuck in the past and nobody will remember that Wii U even exist when PS4 hits. Something somethign Retro FPS something something saviour of Wii U something something.
- Sony is the true saviour of console gaming. Lots of "current 360 owners" are jumping ship and going PS4 exclusive this gen. Like they really own a 360 now, yeah right...

Pretty much.

[hampster]

I don't get why gaffers are so confident in Sony when the only device doing worse than the Wii U right now is Sony's Vita

[Joe Molotov]

Why is Iwata still in charge? His project (Wii U) is a failure.

Only a matter of time before he gets Gunpei'd.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Vita is not PS4.

The market the Vita targets has tablets smartphones now.  The market the PS4 will target is still there.

[maxy]

Forum,E3 hype is not something you can build your platform on,especially today.I hope Sony pays attention to what is happening to Vita and WiiU and understands why.Because if they just go--this is PS4,here are few so so games,you should buy it for some future potential,bye...not gonna be good

[archie4208]

Feels good to be part of the PC mustard rice. 

[maxy]

Feels good to be part of the PC mustard rice. 

The thing is that unlike 10 years ago today you have so much choice,almost everything that has a screen plays games,one click on internet bam games...games everywhere

[Human Snorenado]

I wonder what their reaction is going to be when it does sub 50k numbers for the 4 week feb period. 

WAIT TIL SPACEWORLD

[archie4208]

Pretty much.  I don't think Orbis or Durango will set the world on fire either, but at least their sales shouldn't be as disastrous as the Wii U.

Would be hilarious if X was an Aliens: Colonial Marines situation where that video was actually a mock-up and the real game doesn't look anywhere near as good.

[Cascade]

Fanboi logic works that way. Failures are quickly forgotten and swept under the history rug when there is a chance for a big victory around the corner.

This seems like an unfair dig at me and accusation of bias that I don't think is relevant to the discussion at hand. I'd ask you to stop and, if you choose to proceed, will ask for mod attention to it.

Thanks.

[maxy]

The Wii U looks like it’s going to have more Gamecube-like appeal: long-time Nintendo fans will like it, but it won’t do well in the rest of the market.

The solution most people suggest is for Nintendo to exit the cut-throat, usually-low-margin hardware business and just make their well-known games for other platforms. But Nintendo’s hardware business isn’t low-margin at all. Suggesting Nintendo leave it would be like suggesting that Apple leave the hardware business.

Unlike Apple, Nintendo’s just not selling a lot of hardware anymore. That’s a big problem. But becoming a software-only business would almost certainly bring in far less revenue, especially if they wanted to sell their games on iOS, where nobody can sell games for $50.

Nintendo needs the profits of the high end, but they can’t compete there anymore. All of the growth is happening at the low end, which is mostly games that they can’t or won’t make. And even if they succeeded in casual gaming, it probably wouldn’t bring the kind of profit that they need.

I don’t think Nintendo has a bright future. I see them staying in the shrinking hardware business until the bitter end, and then becoming roughly like Sega today: a shell of the former company, probably acquired for relatively little by someone big, endlessly whoring out their old franchises in mostly mediocre games that will leave their old fans longing for the good old days.

Smart guy,but on the other hand who knows what the future brings.

[Don Flamenco]

What is amazing is that there are STILL delusional nintards in the NPD thread spinning this into an "exception" other than a rule. Their subconsciousness cannot deal with Wii U being dead and buried and on the short way to being discontinued in the US and Europe.

Wii U is dead, ninfags. DEAD. D E A D.

This isn't even fun anymore.  Lets focus our attention on Microsoft now.   


If I were Mama Robotnik, I'd make a gif about the WiiU from the Simpsons scene where Mr. Burns spits out the 3-Eyed Fish, the reporters take photos of it mid-air, and leave declaring him a loser in the elections before it hits the ground

[Stoney Mason]

I always like to be rationale and non-extreme but those numbers have to be terrifying to Nintendo. They are in a bad spot.

And all that gaf talk about releasing a new zelda, and mario kart, etc. If they think that is the answer to get them to the promised land, then they are deluding themselves. That works when you have a trojan system like the Wii, where everybody and his brother has one. When they are in the situation they are in now, all that is gonna do is create another gamecube.

Their system costs too much relative to what it offers. They are smack dab in the middle of a console contraction/correction. The core market is far more interested in PS4/720. And the PS3 and 360 still exist and are cheaper than you. It's like a perfect storm of getting fucked.

[Don Flamenco]

Any ideas how the WiiU compares to N64 sales?   Those sales had to be pretty low, but maybe I'm underestimating Mario 64's attraction.

Woke up to news that its 57k, not 55k as 'reported' last night. I think a lot of people in this thread who piled on Nintendo without waiting for confirmed numbers owe them an apology.

i wonder if he put on his fedora just to type that.

[Stoney Mason]

It only keeps getting better. If this hadn't been a 5 week NPD January the number would be

The Wii U sold just 46,000 hardware units in January at brick and mortar locations — a shockingly low number for a console that was just released in late November. To put it in perspective, the Wii sold 348,000 units during that system's comparable period in 2007.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/100463756

Not sure how they arrived at that number though unless they asked for the 4 week numbers and just didn't do a little simple math division.

edit: Ah I see.

Officially, according to NPD data, Nintendo has sold 57,000 Wii U units this year. The adjusted figure of 46,000 is a more accurate comparison to the 2007 figures, though, due to reporting calendar irregularities. (January's NPD results are a skewed due to the addition of a "leap week" the group has to add every five or six years to balance its reporting periods. NPD measures the year into 12 reporting periods of four or five weeks. That results in some date discrepancies, which require the leap week to be added occasionally.)

No big deal really. Its terrible either way. Next month should also be fun as its a real 4 week NPD.

[Steve Contra]

When is the next release for the Wii U that anyone could reasonably buy a console for, or is there just not anything yet?

[Mr. Gundam]

When is the nest release for the Wii U that anyone could reasonably buy a console for, or is there just not anything yet?

The deluded seem to think Lego City or whatever is going to light the world on fire, and then after that is the Monster Hunter 3DS up-port.

The perfect time for that GAF documentary to be compiling data.

Shit, and we've got the Sony thing in five days, and you KNOW they're going to show a bunch of BS videos where you can make out every pore in Drake's skin or whatever, forever annihilating the nintards' hopes that the weeeeeeooooooooo was in fact a next gen console.
