In an interview with CNET, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime revealed that the Nintendo Wii U sold upwards of 400,000 units during its launch week and that it is pretty much entirely sold out of retail. This must be promising news for Nintendo as they have sold everything they produced for the first week, but how does this compare to the first week sales of other consoles in North America?
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Super Mario Maker's last level has been beaten, after Trimming the Herbs was revealed to be totally bogus.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With Tears of the Kingdom being so recent and Nintendo’s next system likely coming soon, it’s safe to say we won’t be looking at another big Zelda launch title this around and it’ll likely be years before any ruminations of the next game start to surface, but in the meantime we can always speculate. Breath of the Wild changed things for the series by multiplying its popularity manyfold, so it would seem only logical that the franchise will continue along the path Breath of the Wild started, however a look at the series’ history shows it might not be as simple as that. So, let’s take a look at what the future of this legendary series might have in store for us, blending in equal parts qualified theorizing and wishful thinking."
It sold out of stock and people are comparing it. Why compare it? If it's sold out then it shouldn't be compared to anything else since it can't exceed X amount of units sold due to, y'know selling out.
i hope PS4 will be priced like Wii U from day one because i'm not ready to pay 600€ like i did in 07.
We can't predict how the Wii u will be doing in the future from these numbers alone.
The gamcube in the first week sold 500000 unit in the first week but it lifetime sales were very miserable.
The ps3/Xbox 360 sold about 400000 unit in the first week and both going strong over the 70 million mark.
The desperation of buyers of the Wii who couldn't get one is nowhere to be found for the WiiU.
That's the point. And it's not sold out. That's lies. I can go right now to my local Walmart. Their right behind the glass.
Reggie says that wii sold 300k units first week...lies.
It was 600k. So WiiU is 200k behind.
Reggie says blops2 is better looking on the WiiU.
Lies....screen tearing, 8fps is single player, color saturation (subjective), AA.....looks no better than 360; and under performs big time compared to 360.
wii u will not be anywhere near as successful as wii.. It will prolly sell like N64 did
