Why are you talking to yourself…?
LOL!!!!!!!!!! do you think we are stupid? everyone knows you are the same person! and you have done this for a long time!
in each article always appears your gravatar, only with a different name!
sometime you are troll, sometime you are big nintendo fan…
hahahha dude he’s crazy as fuck
calling my local asylum. Hopefully they’ll have room for someone of his “kind”
Who ever that guy is , he has some serious Split personality disorder lol. That guy needs help quick…… I actually have mild Schizophrenia from smoking too much Mary J. But at lease I only use one name lol…..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hahaha you blame mary j wen we know thats cause of faulty genes.
Whatever man…. *curls up into a ball* XD….
Nah that was a few years ago , I’m fine now :)
No, that actually wasn’t me. I was using proper grammer when that guy trolling wasn’t.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!! you are so funny “Me”, or should I say Nintenlord, numchuck norris, peteriuss, 7 Asses, Roma, TheBadBuffalo, troll whisperer, theorangefish, Unknown, peteriuss, Anonymous, AwkwardMexican, gamer, Kool C, the list is endless!!! HAHAHA, but you are funny dude ;)
Lol i am original you must be realy stupid.
Damn why do you people hate Nintendo so much? What did they ever do to you? All the try to do is cater to the children market. No one else is doing it? Sony & microsoft are focusing on mature gamers.
@sony fans: your focus should be on microsoft because they are kicking your sony consoles into ground. Yet you guys are worrying so much about casual Nintendo and wishing them death but why?
They aren’t a threat to hardcore consoles. All this laughing and hating Nintendo makes no sense.
Umm cyrtek confirmed why its not on the wii u already. EA has been butt hurt about origins not being on the wii u so their not really supporting it. Crytek wants crysis 3 on the wii u. So…….
Stop acting 12 years old. It makes you look painfully desperate for attention.
segundo, tercero
XD cuarto y quinto!
And i more note worty guess ninja gaiden z and borderlands 3 may come to wiiu.
xbox domination!!!!!
Inb4 “but the wii u has a low supply” cause every store I’ve been to has had wii u’s coming out their asses cause they have no where else to put then.
This numbers are from launch till december 22 .analist that give news from old numbers are stupid.
Really? It wasn’t withing the same time frame?
If that’s true, that’s very misleading analytics.
They are even older than december 22 right now whit the new data wiiu is at 1.09 in usa alone.
PS2 continued to outsell the Xbox 360 at launch so whats your point?
this^
Consoles at half the price with a huge library of games like Halo 4 and blops 2 just coming out should be expected to be selling the way they are.
The wiiu will be expected to sell this way or even faster when Smash bros U comes out (the wiiu’s halo 4 equivalent or one of them in terms of sales boost)
The wiiu needs to sell about 8-12M in 2013 to be considered a good success. From there it can go on to sell 50-100M in the following 5 years….
Smash Bros is probably a sure fire way to explode the sales. I know I’m getting a Wii U either way when smash bros comes out <—-Huge fan of games like Smash Bros
True…
3D mario , Smash bros , Wii fit U , Zelda , Pikmin 3 will cause a surge of console sales even if not as big as other games do..
Plus also depending on the pokemon news. If there is a massive pokemon rpg announced for Wii U. I’ll be down at EB games within seconds buying a Wii U.
Indeed sir. If you think about it , Pikmin 3 could sell 1.5-2M consoles on it’s own.
A pokemon RPG could sell more…..
Let’s be real here, what would people rather get, a cheap console with a massive library of games, or a new slightly more expensive console that has only just come out with a small library…?
I agree. I love Nintendo, and even what’s out isn’t enough to make me drop 300+ precious dollars on it yet.
Is xBox become the new “Wii,” Inexpensive, old-tech. Kids that just want a console with a huge library probably got one for Christmas.
It’ll take some time for WiiU to pick up momentum, people don’t understand it. My friend went from, “I don’t get it,” to “Ok, I’m getting one,” but I had to have him play it before he understood.
Ah well. The 3DS can keep the cash flow coming in intill WiiU picks up.
Maybe WiiU won’t sell like the Wii, but as long as Nintendo has IP’s like the overnight, epically successful Animal Crossing, 3DS, the company will be fine.
I’m loving WiiU.
The wiiu is doing fine bro. It’s right now just under 3M worldiwde in just over a month.
If it can get to 10M by december 2013 , it’s a huge success. If it only gets to 5M by then (which is pretty much impossible considering Rayman , Monster Hunter , Lego city , Pikmin 3 , Wonderfull 101 , Wiifit U are all on there way) then it will be considered an alarmingly slow start.
10M a year is 60M in 6 years… AKA a moderate success if you’re not losing or breaking even or even making an overall profit off the games.
The wiiu will do well I think….
3 million worldwide in just a month? Where’s your references, man? I’m not ready to disbelieve you, but no one can take claims along as evidence.
It’s at 2.5M confirmed with some sales missing from that total. AKA ”just under 3M” ….
I find it funny how fanboys like to compare the Wii U sales to the PS3 and Xbox 360 now but not when they first launched.
I find it funny how people use “Fanboys,” to differentiate themself from those they are insulting.
Yeah, I don’t like the term either. It sounds immature. I’ll stop using it. :)
Anybody that uses those silly terms as insults is a child. Their under 25 and clearly have no clue why we have an Xbox and a Playstation today. Which makes any opinion they state absolutely meaningless to me.
But it’s nice to see it used once in a while to discribe Non-Nintendo gamers. :)
People do look 12-years-old when they start throwing accusations of “fanboyism” around. I like Nintendo. I don’t like Microsoft much. Doesn’t mean I’m going to call those who do happen to like Microsoft’s console as a “fanboy.” Though, if the term exists, it exists in the level of fanaticism to the point of general annoyance. Fanboys are those supporters of a product that are even annoying to those who like the same product. Fanboys are people EVERYONE wishes would chill out. We’ve got our own share of those sort.
Jobs are hard to find for a 16 year old. Most places prfeer to hire people over the age of 18. The best thing you can do is apply to as many places as possible. You’ll have to really play the numbers game. My first job was in a pizza restaurant and they were pretty good about hiring 16 year olds. The job was also a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Since you are still in high school, I wouldn’t recommend working more than 10-15 hours a week. You might be able to get a job in a supermarket as a bagger until you have enough experience to make cashier.
…Um, I think you made a mistake in where you posted this. Either that or WordPress is bugging out again.
Every “fanboy” compares sales. Sales of consoles shouldn’t really be cared about anyway (unless you’re an investor). Sales of games should be more worried about imo.
No surprises there, ofc Xshit is going to outsell Nintendo.
Atleast Nintendo has a big base over there unlike Microshit who barely has any in Japan xD
Xbox is the best console at the moment closely followed by ps3 i have a wii u but at this moment it feels like a catch up console but im sure in time more Next gen stuff will come out but im only using netflix on wii u at the moment :C.
So, everybody loses because the market still declines, i really hope that the Wii U, PS4, 720, 3DS, and Vita sell as well as the PS2 did but that’s very unlikely (maybe not so much for Nintendo)
98M wii’s , + 72M ps3’s + 74M 360’s + 155M DS’s + 70M PSP’s –
Previous generation
154M Ps2’s + 22M Gamecubes + 25M Xboxs + 90M GBA’s
And people say the market is in decline ?
So basically it did just fine for having 23 games on the shelves.
Damn, next you’ll be telling me the 360 and ps3 both have larger game libraries and install base.
Seriously, why is anyone making articles about this? Did they only get into gaming in 2010 or something?
It’s the media. They’ll post anything that’ll get em hits.
do these retard analysts realize the console isn’t even half a year old yet.
The Wii U, Wii and DS, sold above 500 000. In short Nintendo is making bank steadily. The Wii U will sell about 3 million in less than 3 months. Nintendo is smiling all the way to the bank.
Just wait for when Nintendo ramps up the marketing.
I love how trolls come on a Nintendo website and troll about how great the 360 is with call of duty and two exclusives (halo and gears ). So cool. Or ps3 goblins come on and just hate on the Wii u when its been out for what 2 months ? Okay when you own one then you can complain. own one for a year and try it then you can troll all you want . but I have actually owned all consoles and they each have their strengths but personally I enjoy the Wii u a bit more the gamepad is so cool what other system let’s you play an entire game full 1080p on the controller while you watch your favorite TV show ? Or change the channel or turn up the volume or tell you the stats while you watch sports ? Give Wii u a chance to get rolling and the trolls will hide under their bridges. What happens if Nintendo gets great third party support later this year ? What happens if the first party games are so good they almost force people to buy a Wii u ? Trolls don’t think like this maybe they should be a little afraid that every console sucks somehow (kinect,move) and that the Wii u could be a force to be reckoned with if it works out it will be selling better than 1000 dollar graphic machines like most trolls are praying the next gen ps3 and 360 are gonna be but remember a lot of people won’t pay for expensive Wii u is gonna be a great price unless 360 ps3 go more wallet friendly then how are their graphics now ? Not amazing. I enjoy all consoles even with their weaknesses but I’m not gonna jump on a bandwagon and say Wii u is better its got potential to be great its got weaknesses it hasn’t proven to be the best console ever in a matter of months but what has ? Give it time, it could shock you what happens just like 3ds is now.
Worldwide Nintendo has sold 2.45 million consoles to date, so it is half the way to what they have expected (5 millions I guess), but I don´t know if they can achieve those numbers now that the hollydays are gone. In a personal note I also think that the wii u has to be played to se if it appeals to you, but its a wonderful gaming machine. Have a nice Day.
You mean American actually preferably American targeted games!? Holy shit.
Funny they should discuss the worldwide sales instead.
Not too shabby for a launch :)
Hmmm… $200 console vs. $350 console
Also, dont forget the games for each console. A lot of games to choose from vs. few games to choose from
And dont forget the used and cheap game of the year versions.
OMG! Nintendo is doomed. Sony sold more PS3’s than Nintendo sold Wii U’s. Nintendo is gonna go bankrupt. Oh no! Sony is better, who would have thought?
And btw, I’m being sarcastic. I can’t believe so many people like the PS3. Fools!
I hate reading these comments. So much childish and fruitless debating. Many here are young kids. Or at least, act like kids.
They should’ve beat the Wii U. Why? Massive sales on Xbox /PS3. Plus, a TON of games. However, anybody with any kind of understanding, should’ve known that. With a lot more software releases, the Wii U will do much better next holiday…
Hey Sickr! Hate to suggest this, but could you please do something about all the hateful comments? I don’t mind constructive criticism, but all the Nintendo hate is getting out of hand!
Its crazy. Why are sony fanboys hating on a children company so much?
Its not like nintendo make hateful, racist, offense content. Hell, they don’t even make gory, violent content like sony, rockstar, etc.
Yet sony fanboys hates nintendo so much. NINTENDO IS A DISNEY-LIKE COMPANY. Why are sony fanboys hating on them and wishing death upon them. Give them a chance to get the console off the ground damn it.
Holy sucking suck Batman!
When is Nintendo going to learn that you do not release a new console without a REAL Super Mario Title or Zelda.
depends on you. If you like to have fun, play with friends and so on, coohse the WII. If your a hardcore gamer, PS3 would probablly be better. Since you have the xbox 360 which is awesome, get the wii so people could have fun cuz u already got the hardcore gaming side of your room
