Holy craaaaaaaap man. If this is anywhere near true, then damn.
Should I just keep my Wii U as an antique for the future? Collectors item? This is a Nintendo person talking here too. Yikes.
If it really sold only 150k with Super Mario 3D World and the Black Friday Deals....wow, this would be horrible.
What? That site that Pachter recommends as an accurate source for sales data shows much larger sales than that.
this has to be trolling. there's no way anyone can seriously believe this. it sounds even more ridiculous than Pachter's predictions.
Yeah, that worked real well for Sega, too.
"Nobody owns a PC as fast as a PS3."
It was mostly just bundles at their regular price wasn't it? There wasn't anything really advertised was there? I mean, I got mine from a flash Ebay deal that lasted all of 60 seconds. I think Target was doing something, but I don't think it was in their paper.
So who's the #1 gaffer and what have they predicted?
[360] 825k
[3DS] 1160k
[PS3] 500k
[PS4] 1240k
[PSV] 140k
[WIU] 325k
[XB1] 950k
[3DS] 1350K
[PS4] 1300K
[XB1] 950K
[360] 850K
[PS3] 500K
[WIU] 350K
[PSV] 150K
Charting below Dreamcast numbers. Just wow.150k would mean it was almost TRIPLED by the GC in a similar November post-launch period. That's sub-Dreamcast numbers.
Reading Takes too much time for people.I don't know why so many in this thread are reacting as if this is a confirmed number.
The other option is a 3rd pillar, based off the same tech, minus the blu ray and expensive gamepad..sold for $150.
The same games could still be released for the Wii U to keep owners happy...or/and follow Sony's Vita path but instead of downporting their PS3 content to Vita..Nintendo up-port their 3DS titles to Wii U.
Starfox won't sell, a Pokemon MMO likely wouldn't sell any better than Pokemon Stadium (I'd give Capcom a call to make PokeMonster Hunter..that might help in Japan at least).
People believe this stupid guy?
All hope is lost.
Before saying "OMG, all hope it's lost", wait for Smash Bros WiiU to get released before calling out for Doom.
Also, wait for official numbers. Not numbers from somebody's chocolate starfish.
They were taking a loss per unit before they cut the price.Yeah, but Gamecube was always profitable, so those numbers may be profitable for Wii U as well, which means all this doom and gloom posts are pretty stupid.

Not the right thread to talk about this but yeah, Pokemon RPG on Wii U with high production values would sell a ton and I would like to play that.Cranky Kong!
I really hope they do, but Nintendo has become rather predictable and boring lately. I'd love to see a new Starfox or a proper console Pokemon RPG.
I have no idea, but quality doesn't equal sales, hence how Knack is outselling 3D World in the UK
Yeah, reading this thread, and the replys to my my post...Im understanding better now.
I guess we get numbers Thursday, so might as well wait til then before over reacting.
Nintendo needs a Direct of epic proportions that promises the world to WiiU owners. One last ditch, we have all these games in dev, please buy it! lol

You're definitely the new Gahiggidy, except the GCN was actually selling well compared to the Wii U. Smash Bros. may have saved it but the 3DS version will just cannibalize everything.

It's pretty crazy to see a system cratering this early in its life. Nintendo's in a really tight spot; if they release a new system within the next two years, they risk losing whatever consumer trust they have left, but holding out on a successor until 2016-17 (barring a miracle that will turn sales around) will further cement the dead console stigma and could drive away potential buyers from their next system. I'm at a loss on how Nintendo could save face in an industry where poor reputations spreads like wildfire over the Internet, short of rolling out a successor and offering a courtesy worldwide trade-in program for the 4 or so million Wii U owners.
Iwata would sleep through it.If this ends up being correct then some serious alarm bells need to be ringing at Nintendo HQ.
Last gen, it was nothing but Wii sales used against PS3/360.But Nintendo fans told me its about the games and not about the sales

Keep it as a games console to play amazing games like Pikmin 3 and Mario 3D World?
Then why aren't people buying it in droves?
If the number is anywhere below 500,000 then NINTY has failed
It's not arbitrary number, if your console had a year head start, is almost $100 less than the competition, and has heavy hitters out to in full force... YIKES!
You have to realize, Black Friday in the US is huge
Remember the Wii, it would sell fucking Truckloads in Nov + December, hell it would take Sony Family + MS to equal what NINTY was selling some months
