Holiday season 2013 the 3DS is going to do crazy numbers with Pokeman available.

We won't know for sure into Nintendo release the numbers. We do know that over the holiday season Mario kart, nsmbu 2 and Mario 3D have been holding very well every week in the software top 40. I don't think it's doing wonders but I do think the 3DS hardware sales would of been pretty good in the UK during the holiday period. NPD results are in. Yikes less than 500k in December. I like the spin but damn 460,000 units in December is very low. The wii outsold the Wii U!! The attach rate for NSMB U is fantastic. Great 3DS numbers. Brilliant!!!

No way we will see another NSMB game. Those titles now need to be put to bed for a minimum of 2 years if not more. The 3DS title is close to hitting 2 mil in Japan alone and will continue selling until the 3DS is dead. They don’t need another NSMB game.

That is defiantly crazy.

Layton v AA got a real nice boost as well.

Wasnt Fantasy Life supply constrained as well.

No. Nintendo give out numbers for 3ds eshop games at times. Good to see Nintendo Land and Mario holding and they should soften the blow from the HW drop which I think will happen over the next month. Hopefully it will stay above 50k a week but there is nothing coming out.

FFS Nintendo get some new content on the Eshop!!

Where are the eshop updates? Need more content on there!!

How do you find using the gamepad? I play all my fighting games with an arcade stick on 360 but dont really wanna get a stick for the Wii U yet until there are some more fighting games on the horizon. As someone who tends to really dislike playing fighting games without an arcade stick would you say I should just wait for now?

From January 2 to 5 Nintendo Spain is offering NSMB U for 10 euros if you buy a premium or basic pack.

Extremely slow. A hot product with such a price drop would of sold 500 in hours. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/officially-licenced-nintendo-wii-u-chat-headset-6-instore-game-1430127 On the game website says £15 but people are saying instore £6

just get the VC up on there with gamecube games among others. Really looking forward to a fully fledged wii u Virtual console. Not sure how to play sunshine with no analogue triggers.

good point and 3 weeks is too soon to say write a console off. Things can be turned around its just had a really bad start in the UK. Way worse than I thought it would be. TBH even this zavvi deal I would expect at that price for them the units to of been sold out within an hour or two but its still there with 115 sold. I do wonder if its another N64 situation where there is an official price drop within a couple of months. I hope not but I cant see the sales picking up too much as the software isnt there right now. First week sales were not good. MCV reported it did 40k on the first weekend. That is very very low and ranked below all other launches. The product confusion and bad marketing is down to nintendo and thats the worst thing. There are elements Nintendo can control and they blew it. Either they were not prepared for the current market conditions or just thought the 'wii' name alone would do the job. There is only so much money people have and come January/Feb people aint out spending big money after the holiday period. The biggest indicator we have of poor sales in the UK & Europe is no PR from Nintendo. Nintendo being completely silent about sales in the UK or France and Germany tells us things are not going well.

lol no need to try and be funny. Nobody is saying that, Nintendo has enough money in the bank survive the Wii U being a failure but lets not kid ourselves here, the first month in the UK the Wii U has bombed hard. Retailers dont sell new consoles for £75 off the rrp a month after launch if they are selling well.

If I didnt get it for £199 via amazon I would of been seriously pissed right now. Think it's fair to say the Wii U has has bombed hard in the UK/Europe.

The music is epic!!
