Great News!
sniff.sniff… smells like Nintendo’s Wii U is cooking up. The more money, the better the System
Nintendo is DOMINATING!
Daaaaamn…
♪And I’m proud to be a Nintendo fan, where at least I know I can♪
♪And I gladly sit down, play my games♪
Xbox sold more in november haha. But really good for gaming :)
That’s because no one has one haha!
Well, the same is true for 3DS and PS3. I was hoping 3DS would be 1st, but it’s understandable that Wii’s at 3rd and x360’s took 1st.
why thaa heck do you three have the same picutre????
WOOHOO! yup, theres no doubt, NINTENDO IS AWESOME =D
hai!!
Tasty. Good news for Nintendo and the fans. We can expect some good stuff next year
I know Nintendo will dominate this holiday season, leading to more funds to support the Wii U and make it as kick ass as it should be. Hope Nintendo’s building a proper online experience for the Wii U. Something like Xbox Live or PSN, some people might not agree, but Nintendo needs to have a system like that on the Wii U to convince the so called “hardcore” gamers to take them seriously in the next generation.
Is it me or are most of these “hardcore” gamers just people who jumped on board with the PS2 or XBox and only play.FPS and sports games?
its probably all thanks to skyward sword…which is of course, a good thing :D
But but NINTENDO IS DOOMED?!
I kid, really people seem to forget the mass amount of merchandise besides games nintendo sells. Like kinex Lego Mario kart racing tracks, Mario kart rc cars, pillows, plushies, do I go on?
I am still figuring out how Wii sold 500,000 units this Black Friday… not that that is a bad thing. Go Nintendo. :D
Kudos Nintendo!!! Keep shutting up the doomsday sayers.
Who the hell keeps buying Wii’s? o.o How is it that there isn’t one in every single household by now?
I buy them and use them as bricks …. gotta put them to good use u know
and dude there is still a like few BILLION of people who dont own a wii
Congrats Nintendo, looks like the 3DS is paying off after all.
