As an aside, I know I poisoned the well myself, but Jesus it's boring hearing 'but Vita' every time I make a post that people don't like. Just call me a cunt, it's quicker.

Media Create and NPD disagree with you.
Erm, console sales increased. We even had NeoGAF threads about it.
Oh yeah that percentage thread. From non existand to little less non existand. So yes I guess that if you just want to say sales increased you are right. Not by any meaningfull amount of units though.
You better not have been in that thread about the >6000% uptake for Vita last month...Oh yeah that percentage thread. From non existand to little less non existand. So yes I guess that if you just want to say sales increased you are right. Not by any meaningfull amount of units though.
So, this is the last year for Wii U's AAA heavyweights, then, after Smash?
Zelda, Animal Crossing, and 3D Mario were never in the same class - commercially speaking - as MK and SSB world wide. All Nintendo has left at this point are middleweight AA games, which is fine by me.
The post was in response to how Nintendo actually increase wiiu sales with mk8 while Sony have not manage to do this with Vita (example tearaway killzone etc)Oh yeah that percentage thread.

Smash is not in the same bracket as MK. It's in the same league as 3D Mario.
I will say it attracts a bigger audience than 3D Mario but not by a lot. I wonder if amiibo will bring in the skylanders gamers.Smash is not in the same bracket as MK. It's in the same league as 3D Mario.
not to call just you out but can we please stop the Vita talk? it's petty.
From no sale increase to no meaningful one(whatever that means). Final spot for your goalpost or will you keep moving?
is it mid-July already? hadn't noticed. I guess time flies when....you have a time machine
I would like to see the June npd numbers. Do you have a link for me?
pathetic
Nintendo has done something really bad to you, did they?
You better not have been in that thread about the >6000% uptake for Vita last month...
I don't like high horses so I'm putting myself on the same level :/.
Well I have may numbers and if I remember right Mario Kart launched in May... If you really have system selling software it causes increase to the sales of the console also during its first month (meaningful units increase, not some percentage increase) but I guess we can rejoice when WiiU crosses 100k units barrier in june (without realizing that it's still well behind what GC did during same June in its lifecycle) and then it will dive back to the abyss in July probably. Then we start to wait for Smash and how it will be huge system seller...
Free game promotion was a great infective and the game, while lacking some content, is excellent at its core. I can't think of a more deserving offering/rollout out of Nintendo's first party releases.
Now the only concern remaining is the impact it had on hardware sales and overall baseline. Going by Japan's numbers it was soft, despite the game holding up on charts.
Nah that's ok, it's just rather stupid to see posters that are so entrenched in their console wars that they absolutely feel the need to come everywhere proclaim how their choice is better than everyone else's.haha. and seriously I'm not just calling you out. once Dave showed his face in here the talk quickly changed to "well our console doesn't suck as much as yours nana nana boo boo!"
I just get annoyed with the "prop under-performing console up with another under-performing console" tactic
no hard feelings or anything
Heh. It's kinda neat that someone is willing to dig up my post history. Haha. Weird feeling.
Dont worry, just remember: WiiU is dead in Europe.....unlike Vita which might live a couple of years.

destiny..cod and bf arent exclusives...Game is selling well but it isn't moving much Wii U hardware.
Too bad it will be outsold by single SKU of Destiny, Cod, AC, Battlefield
I know you were being sarcastic but still
Honestly, I am not sarcastic. From MK8, I really see there are chances that Smash Brother will sell faster than any exclusive of Xbox One and PS4 in this holiday season.

I hadn't intended to voice the fact I wasn't impressed with the sales until I was specifically called out on it.

Sony would kill for a Vita game to sell 2 million copies.
I think the changes they are making to Zelda U (open world, non-linear dungeons) can take the game into heavyweight territory.

Smash is in the Mario Kart league. Don't know where you are getting your infos from.
Dare you doubt the integrety of a sales man.

I really don't see connection between those posts? But I guess it's me. Before holidays PSP was actually leading WiiU in Europe last year in yearly sales. This indicates that in some individual countries Vita could have still some years left as Sony has especially strong brand in some European countries (Iberian peninsula for example). This doesn't mean that Vita is success by any measure. It's worldwide flop. Just like WiiU.

Eh. I would say exactly the same in XBone or PS4 thread if the systems would be in same state as WiiU and people would be rejoicing over some percentage increase and saying how one game is saving the system. I am sales person.
SmokyDave isn't personally responsible for the Wii U's poor situation you know.
Well, things change. Look at Skyrim it sold what, 20+ million? Morrowind sold like a fifth or something. The only thing holding Zelda U back in sales, is the Wii U installed base.Zelda haven't been heavy hitter since OoT.
Heck that's pretty much why we got TP because WW underwhelmed many, many people (including financial analysts at Nintendo).
I agree, if we see a spike in sales we see it in the first month. Thats why I asked for the numbers of june. You said npd disagrees with increased hardware numbers despite the numbers being not released for another 3 weeks. So why say this then? Are you just making stuff up or do you simply not know what you are talking about?
Nintendo apparently killed many dogs to get Mario Kart then.
MK8 obviously sells many Wii Us
Well, things change. Look at Skyrim it sold what, 20+ million? Morrowind sold like a fifth or something. The only thing holding Zelda U back in sales, is the Wii U installed base.
Well I guess we were talking about different things. I meant actually meaningfull increase in units sales and you guys meant that it just had an increase. I was wrong I admit.

Also the fact that Nintendo seems very reluctant to make a game that meets and exceeds the fans' expectations when it might not satisfy their own creative ambitions.
Will this end the "Nintendo is doomed" talk?
destiny..cod and bf arent exclusives...
That was my point. WiiU can have better selling 1st party games but that doesn't mean much compered to numbers a bunch 3rd party games can pull of on PS4 and Xbone. Besides that compering Smash to whatever Sony and MS has for the holidays is not exacly right. Smash is like second biggest selling Nintendo IP on home consoles after MK. It's not like Sony or MS are coming out with there big guns for this holiday season 1st party exclusives wise. So yeah Smash may where well be best selling 1st party game but that won't make WiiU best selling console not even by a long mile.
Is it avatar quote you're looking for?
If history is any indication, it will only bring more doom talk like people did in the Wii days.
Nintendo could own the Solar System they would still talk about it.
This is a very strange way to spin 3rd party support into a slight against something, especially considering they got the ball rolling a year later and are still thundering ahead with no radical difference in the number of exclusives.
How did people argue that Nintendo is doomed during the Wii era?
You'll notice I was commenting on Marc's misplaced ebullience, not sales of MK8.
Sure, but the increase is tracking behind the increase caused by Pikmin 3 -- going by Media Create numbers, specifically. While the game selling 2 million is great, the concern would be that it's selling mostly to it's existing user base when it desperately needs to grow that user base. Nintendo is specifically banking on each tentpole game being a way to make the system take off.Erm, console sales increased. We even had NeoGAF threads about it. You barely visit Gaf or read news, huh?
No, Nintendo is doomed everyday
