Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)

[MisterBubbles]

Not so rosey for the big N, as no WiiU games made the all format 10 ten, maybe public enemy was right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vQaVIoEjOM http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...ty-remains-top

I've not been keeping up regularly with this thread, but that's some serious buyers remorse Sho', last time I looked in you were loving it!

Yeah man totally!! I love some things that it does and ZombiU is excellent - but what else is there? Coupled with it's crappy WiFi and lacklustre support from Nintendo I'm staring at another paper weight...

Nintendo Land and Mario U are nonsense no one can seriously be enjoying them....

LOL .. You are the king of the swingers ... Make your mind up matey!

Everything I have for the WiiU I have I played so far I am enjoying ... Besides how is this different from a games point of view to any other console launch .. its not really.

All new consoles end up being a paperweight within a month ... Until the ball gets rolling .. give it a chance ffs ...

Why are they nonsense out of interest?

It hasn't given itself much of one really - where's something worth playing from Nintendo? PS4 and Nextbox are out pretty soon - so I'm failing to see any light at the end of the tunnel for it...

Why are they nonsense out of interest?

A full price bunch of mini games and a regurgitated by-the-numbers Mario game with awful graphics don't inspire greatness from a new console...

ZombiU is excellent - but it'll be multiplatform in a few months anyway with Online modes and more content - mark my words!

[Kieran76]

Mario is ace.

[originalbadboy]

awful graphics

Have you had your eyes tested lately ...?

[MartyG]

Has anyone got the Lovefilm app running? It's not working for me at all.

Have you had your eyes tested lately ...?

yup, infact had laser surgery 2 years ago and I have better then 20/20 vision. If you think it looks otherwise I suggest visiting your local optician and playing something else like Uncharted.

I presume this was the first time, when you cancelled your trip to U.S. because of the giant mech spiders?

Shamelessly stolen from NeoGAF:

Wii U Sold 40k in 48hours:

Some other stats we estimated

credits - miladsen

360 - 70K
PS3 - 165K
Wii - 105K

First week sales as tracked by ChartTrack/GfK.

Wii U hardware:
Sold less then Vita
60% Nintendo Land Bundles.
30% ZombiU Bundles.
10% Basic

Wii U Software
Assassin's Creed III, 3% or 1618 copies.
Call of Duty Black Ops II 1%
Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed 38%
Just Dance 4 3%

The only 3 games charting, there are no Wii U only charts on the site yet.
1- Nintendo Land* (rumored to be 26k on here)
2- New Super Mario Bros U
3- ZombiU*

*including hardware bundles.

Seems like a decent attach rate for Sonic Racing which is good, because it's a decent game and can use the support! Not great numbers though. Thinking about I don't know anyone aside from me (outside of the forum of course!) that bought the console - which is odd considering we bought the other consoles at launch...

[Guts]

I'm pretty sure I read that the Wii U sold about 100,000 more than the Wii did on release. Or maybe that was U.S.

Guys

Better than 20/20 vision? Woah!
