An article that explorers the sales figures for Nintendo Wii U hardware and software for Q3 Financial Year 2016 (April - Dec 2015).
It covers software attach rate, Q3 hardware sales comparisons, amiibo sales performance (quarter-to-quarter) and more.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
"Wii U software sales show a 9.86% increase compared to the previous year, with the average Wii U owner now having purchased approximately 6 games (6.29)"
Absolutely awesome. Nintendo should look at this and release even more software for Wii U in 2016 as well as 2017.
I am very confident that Wii U will eventually push the 20 million mark and overtake the Gamecube's sales by 2018. It's only 9.1 million away from December figures...and most likely only 8.5-8.7 million or something less than 9.1 million now. A price drop and Zelda Wii U being awesome will do all that is needed. Not saying they shouldn't want to sell more, just Wii U won't be known as their least selling home console. It doesn't deserve to be.
Global Amiibo Sales: 31 Million (good lawd)...lol
Nice to see it picking up. While it might not be the best choice for single system gamers, for those of us who keep more than one system in their entertainment center, it's a wonderful secondary system.
Scrap the amiibos and give us more games please.
Seems like Wii U will be at around 17 million sold at the end of its lifecycle
People who think the nx is coming this year don't account for the fact that wii u sales have been picking up year after year. The longer they can ride it out, the better.
