This brings back so many memories. Perhaps Nintendo will be able to do what Sony did and eventually right the ship...

No one gives a shit about Nintendo Direct except for the people who are already huge fans. Those things are really useless when you talk about effective advertising.

I think they mean revenue wise. Selling a lot of consoles at $400-500 will do that for you.
Well, looks like the Wii U isn't the only Nintendo platform with disappointing sales.
Need numbers though.
Lol. Getting some serious deja vu from this. Please tell me this is a reference to that PSP fanatic from way back when and not actually serious.

Funnily enough the two games where the Xbox One outsold the PS4 sold more on the Wii U.
There is something wrong xD. It's impossible ahahaha

250-300k is my bet. I don't see how Vita manages to linger on shelves with crap numbers.

I wouldn't bet a penny on that you know.......
And 3DS performance is seriously disappointing.

oh I forgot we don't have PS4 numbers
lol
edit: wait no, even absurdly high estimates for PS4 and co leaves a giant hole
You're a parody at this point. There's more creativity in Mario then most other games.
Why?
Eh I'll check again when creamsugar is here since the thread is starting to take a turn for the worse. For now, I think everything seems in line with gaf expectations except 3DS which sales are underwhelming, It's surprising since for the last few months it has been performing slightly higher than expectations.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I really want to know too! I was joking when I said the report said 3DS only and did not include 2DS but I'm seriously doubting the legitimacy of the report as 2DS is not mentioned hahaha!
Need....numbers.....

Lol, I just realise I forgot the Vita. But then everyone else has too anyway.
SMOKEYDAVE POST IF YOU'RE OK
HERE WE GOOOO
No one ever said it would not sell well at launch, and if they did they were delusional. The price factor and camera will come into play after the holidays and we will see then if they are a detriment.
I personally think they will.
Depends, man. Under 50k and I am not OK. Over 50k and I'm groovy.

Well, we know it's less than 101k*15 = 1515k because that would be equal to MS's "speed". We also know it's over 1000k because Sony said they did that much in 24 hours.
So 1000k - 1515k.
Exactly right, Microsoft WTF?

PS4 sold between 909k and 1.6 million...
Wii U and Vita below 909k...
Callahan called attach rates of software to hardware “strong,” with PS4 attach rates “exceeding those of the launch months of both the PS3 and the PS2.”
He added that PS4 “led U.S. hardware sales for the month, and marked the highest first month sales of a hardware platform on record.”
“when looking at sales on an average per-week basis, Xbox One led PS4. Keep in mind, however, that supply typically becomes constrained in the second week after launch.” He added that Xbox One was the “second highest selling platform for the month, which marked the largest launch for a Microsoft console.”

I think cpp_is_king might be an NPD plant looking for leaks. His questions are too pointed and worded strangely for a casual questioner. If he was as dedicated to finding the information as his posts would seem to indicate, he would've just searched the threads himself. It's like he's trying to get us to out any potential leakers of data.
Could be wrong.
Edit:
Based on later posts, leaning toward me being wrong. Good. Keeping any plants out is a good thing.

So PS4 sales are between 901K and 1616K
If Pacter was correct number is 1363K
If Pacter was correct number is 1363K
But in December:
Yup, the X1 and PS4 both having an even amount of days to shine in December will be the bigger NPD than this month's mellow November NPD.

probably. I'm not aware of any other high profile predictions worth commenting on.
150k is a REALLY low bar anyway, it would almost have to beat that. Vita coming in less than that isn't really a shock, it's dead here.
Not sure why Sony hasn't just given their numbers since they outsold MS?
Don't blow whatever credibility you have like this.

That would be such an injustice.

Yes, that could certainly be too.
Not sure.
I'm just saying, that in the lead up, these are the things "insiders" were all "leaking". Pretty decent job for a console that had a disastrous PR campaign.

Nintendo employees have already gotten their memos detailing Plan Upsilon: if any journalists or investors ask about the Wii U, just look at them with a confused expression and ask what a "Wii U" is. When they continue to press the issue, tell them that they've gotten a dream or hallucination confused with reality, as Nintendo has never released any such console.
If all else fails, show them newspaper clippings and online articles of the highly successful "Wii 2" sales from 2010; other articles listed the on fake sites and papers will convince them that they've entered an alternate timeline via a vortex or are the only person to retain their memories of the old timeline after a time traveler stomped on a butterfly.

I'm afraid of what you think of the top 10 then, if Mario is generic.
