Reacting to last night's release of NPD sales data for the US market in December, Cowen said in a research note: "Software sales for the Wii U remained well behind launch levels for the original Wii and GameCube in December.
"Totals for the November-December period were -43% lower than software sales for the Wii and -50% lower than those for the GameCube."
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's probably the launch price, as well as the confusion caused over those who still don't know the difference between the Wii and the Wii U (read: casual gamers). Hopefully the system will pull a 3DS, and sales will pick up.
...sometimes much longer to play a game after you plug it in, because of updates, etc.
Then there's one good game and playing with the gamepad isn't much fun if you're using it for multiplayer or as my wife said, "So, my job to put things in the world so other people can have fun? That's a job. I don't want a job, I want to fucking play, too!" lol
Edit:
Also, it's hard to sell a lot of games if you've just passed a million consoles sold. That's what the games on Invisible Walls said anything.
I really should hurry up on my Zelda & Metroid HD...
then we will kick some butt!
WTG! SONYNTENDO FTW!
Dam what a horrible day for nintendo
This is entirely Nintendos fault for pushing its own games back in order to make bad ports look more appealing.
Can't say whether is unfortunate or not, but do to their bad marketing, only harcore gamers know about the console and thus are the only ones who have bought it. They can recognize the bad games fromn the good so those games are not going to sell.
All they need to to do is start releasing more games that people actually want to play. There is no problem with the console itself and people really don't care about the price because its the PS3 and 360 were above that for a long time and they still sold.
This is all a matter of whether or not the games people want are on the console.
Making those bad ports the exact same price as brand new PS3/360 games certainly didn't help either.
