Didn't mention it. Obviously intentionally.

yeah curious to see the figures

I'm not sure what to think of Wii U sales lately.

It seems to be selling better, but selling better than before still means its basically comatose.

sales still suck. They had Donkey Kong too.

If you're a fan, it's good news. It's not going to do wii numbers. But year over year improvement is nice, even if the previous year was awful.

 

[illmatic22]

Wii U #'s a little less awful. But yeah, still awful.

 

[GamerJM]

Ok, I saw it.

I predicted around FE's debut...it actually sold a little more.

I'm the new Sales-Age Genius. Bow down to the king.

...

Seriously now, sooooo happy for Bravely

Who's going to post Sweet Victory song?

The winner takes all.

 

[Graphics Horse]

oh man, no major nelson spins?

If you're number One, there's no need for spin.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Wii u still comatose.

Dat 25% Wii U increase though!

 

[EGOMON]

Fuck, Wii U screwed my prediction anyway happy to hear Wii U software doing well

 

[BuzzJive]

82k? Wow. Higher than the highest prediction I'd guess.

 

[FiggyCal]

How is nearly 82.5K great? That's <100K. That's really bad.

... You know why he said it was great.

 

[S¡mon]

How is nearly 82.5K great? That's <100K. That's really bad.

I think it's fair to say that it is above most people's and analyst's expectations. It's, as you mention, nothing amazing, but we're looking at really decent growth here.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Maybe someone's going to be eating them some N64 cartridges lol.

 

[ClearData]

I really hope the Wii U did better this month. Donkey Kong was a solid game and on 3DS we got Bravely Default. It was a good month to be Nintendo gamer and I hope they were rewarded for that at retail.

 

[Goldmund]

I don't get the Wii U numbers.

 

[BlackJace]

Wii U's corpse twitchin' y'all.

 

[Syphon Filter]

... You know why he said it was great.

why?

 

[Lo-Volt]

It's really the same old story. Nintendo is reporting less abysmal sales figures for their home console. It only gets itself off the ground when its heavy hitters are released because there's nothing else to tide people over or make the proposition of owning a Wii U better. 82,500 consoles is pretty lousy, especially considering how the other two home consoles are bound to pull away from it quickly.

 

[AstuteClass]

Has Sony given or do they ever give Tweet or some announced information before the thread drops?

 

[Foshy]

That's surprisingly high for Donkey Kong. Then again, the US is its main market. Still, pretty good.

I think it's fair to say that it is above most people's and analyst's expectations. It's, as you mention, nothing amazing, but we're looking at really decent growth here.

No. Really, no.

 

[Mpl90]

3DS is probably down YoY.

Last year, it sold around 190,000 units. Without the FE bundle, 170,000. If it loses 17% on a 4 week period again YOY like happened in January, it's around 140,000 units. Maybe 150,000, considering...







...THAT BRAVELY DEFAULT SOLD A FUCK TON

LET'S CELEBRATE ALL, BABYYYYYY

 

[Jigorath]

Has Sony given or do they ever give Tweet or some announced information before the thread drops?

I don't think they usually report numbers.

 

[theprodigy]

Maybe someone's going to be eating them some N64 cartridges lol.

lololololol

 

[DaBoss]

Wii U's corpse twitchin' y'all.

Wii U's dong expanded.

 

[Into]

Maybe someone's going to be eating them some N64 cartridges lol.

...call the ambulance in advance lol

 

[FiggyCal]

why?

Because it could do a lot worse.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Oh cool, wasn't too far off with my 75k Wii U guess.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Yay for bravely default, now confirm Bravely Second for US release.

 

[Carl]

Has Sony given or do they ever give Tweet or some announced information before the thread drops?

Not usually. Usually leaks at some point, or people work it out. Last month Keighley tweeted it.

 

[famousmortimer]

Has Sony given or do they ever give Tweet or some announced information before the thread drops?

They did when it was 2 to 1 last month.

 

[EGOMON]

OT: The freakin US PS store finally got updated

 

[Y2Kev]

GET OUT THE N64 carts

 

[Amentallica]

Someone needs to make a Microsoft spin-machine that spins whatever you say, closely resembling what is poised to be in Major Nelson's tweet.

 

[SwiftDeath]

It's 6:24PM E, WHERE'S MY TWEET MAJOR?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Maybe Wii U outsold 3DS? :$

 

[N.Domixis]

it would be marvelous to see wii u over xbone. Neogaf would be dead for ever.

 

[Punjabi_Hitman]

Has Sony given or do they ever give Tweet or some announced information before the thread drops?

No they never give exact numbers but last month they tweeted they outsold x1 nearly 2:1. So I guess that's a number.

 

[DECK'ARD]

It's 6:24PM E, WHERE'S MY TWEET MAJOR?

Someone should tweet him and ask if he's ok.

 

[Salex_]

MS must be having a hard time spinning those numbers. I'll help them.

That'd be terrible and hopefully not the case.

[lightning2k3]

MS PR taking longer than usual? Guess the numbers are extra hard to spin this month.

 

[Proxy]

Wii U still dead it seems. Come on everybody else.

Dropping Titans

 

[DieH@rd]

LARRY! GIVE THE MIC BACK TO ANGRY JOE. TIME FOR SPINNING IS OVER.

 

[McHuj]

MS must be having a hard time spinning those numbers.

Probably looking for a time interval during which they were the fastest selling console named Xbox One,.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I feel like the NPD's are starting to get to 2007-2008 levels of hype.

People are getting really excited for them again.

Never underestimate the power of console wars. Especially when previous under dog is beating the shit out of the previous champ.

 

[Syphon Filter]

POST IF YOU ARE OK LARRY

you think they care or think like that? lol.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Maybe they are writing an essay on spin like they did last month..these things take time..you have to spell check and all that

ps: OR they did amazingly well that they are writing an essay to boast

 

[havokt]

One way or another I've got a feeling tonight is going to be epic. Got the popcorn a cooking!

 

[ethomaz]

Calm down guys... some times you need time to create the best spins ever it is like poems.
