Double beaten.

Its been suspected that France and German markets have become larger than the UK as the UK market contracts far more significantly.

For consoles this is not true. Germany exceeds the UK for total gaming spend including PC, but for consoles only the UK still comes out on top, we buy more Xboxen...

 

[bigtroyjon]

Jesus, I guess they are going to continue to have these lofty goals.

That operating income goal is nutty.

 

[Yonafunu]

A price cut is never happening. Not when they're already making a loss.

10 more titles, eh?

 

[Kazerei]

wiiu value proposition not delivered enough to consumers, am selling below cost and not planning to discount further

So ... no ambassador program? Aww.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Animal Crossing by mid-year is pretty notable.

 

[dragonflys545]

Wii U doomed... I want my ambassador games

 

[Oersted]

Any other Twitter accounts to follow?

 

[Drago]

Animal Crossing by mid-year is pretty notable.

It's been confirmed Q2 for a while now.

 

[Nothing1016]

10 more titles, eh?

Panic mode Nintendo? I expect them to kill it software wise.

Edit: In terms of quality

 

[metalslimer]

10 more titles, eh?

Game and wario, pikmin 3, luigi's mansion 2, wonderful 101

There's 4

 

[TyRaNtM]

I'm sure Pikachu's coming over?

We know about the Chile thing, but is not fully confirmed from NoA itself.

 

[Sandfox]

So it looks like the 3DS is going to have a nice Q2 in the west to go with what we are getting in Q1.

Game and wario, pikmin 3, luigi's mansion 2, wonderful 101

There's 4

3DS only

 

[Emitan]

handheld sales in the U.S. used to be 2.5 times higher than their handheld sales in Japan, but now their U.S. handheld sales are 27% lower than their Japanese handheld sales.

 

[PhantomR]

Okay, guess my prediction about Animal Crossing being pushed back to fall here in North America was off.


I can guarantee you that we'll be getting the Animal Crossing 3DS bundle here.

hes solely talking 3DS right now seemingly

 

[Drago]

Game and wario, pikmin 3, luigi's mansion 2, wonderful 101

He seemed to be talking exclusively about 3DS there.

 

[Nirolak]

Game and wario, pikmin 3, luigi's mansion 2, wonderful 101

There's 4

10 more for 3DS, not Wii U, but it might include digital by the phrasing.

 

[Frolow]

I think it was referring to the 3DS specifically, but I could be wrong.

edit: beaten like a redheaded stepchild

 

[Yonafunu]

I thought they were talking about 3Ds.

 

[metalslimer]

Oh I saw lego city and forgot about the 3ds version of that game.

Okay, guess my prediction about Animal Crossing being pushed back to fall here in North America was off.

I don't see how delaying it would have made sense anyway. The 3DS isn't doing gangbusters here.

 

[Diablos54]

Game and wario, pikmin 3, luigi's mansion 2, wonderful 101

The 10 titles are all for 3DS. Although it says 'digital all for 3DS' so they may be eShop titles.

 

[DaBoss]

Game and wario, pikmin 3, luigi's mansion 2, wonderful 101

There's 4

It says for 3DS though.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

animal crossing is coming earlier than I expected

 

[serplux]

10 more 3DS titles? That's quite a bit. I wonder if it includes eShop titles, 'cause my wallet can't handle that many titles in one year! (It probably also includes some casual games I won't buy/some Japan-only games, but still!)

 

[chubigans]

We love our mobile/tablet devices. Not hard to see that one coming!

 

[Hero of Legend]

10 more titles, eh?

Hmm...

DK643D (Camelot plz)
BM643D (it'd be in-house technically if NDCube does it)
Kirby (HAL's been uber quiet...)
Potential 2nd 3D Mario?
Pokemon Ranger?
Seaman? (would publishing be considered in-house? Maybe not)

Anyone wager a guess?

 

[grimshawish]

10 more titles makes me hopeful for more eshop Japanese releases.

 

[Drago]

3ds -more jp titles will be released overseas for 3rd party like profesor layton, digital important for sales with animal crossing 1/4

Layton 6 confirmed for worldwide release, if there was any doubt.

 

[emb]

"3ds -more jp titles will be released overseas for 3rd party like profesor layton, digital important for sales with animal crossing 1/4"

At least sounds good.

 

[Sandfox]

More 3rd party games coming and new Layton confirmed for the west.

 

[gryz]

poor Iwata always taking responsibility

well that is kinda the job of a president or CEO

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Well, Animal Crossing is listed for "Early 2013" in America and "April-June" in Europe.

March line-up is already set, so...

 

[outunderthestars]

Would help is they would release a 3DS XL in the United States that doesn't look like a Fisher Price toy.

How hard is it to release this here?

 

[antonz]

probably see more Japanese titles coming over digitally to cut costs on bringing them over

 

[Zero-Crescent]

3ds -more jp titles will be released overseas for 3rd party like profesor layton, digital important for sales with animal crossing 1/4

I guess the last bit confirms that AC's digital sales made up 25% of the total.

 

[Seda]

Obligatory Bravely Default post.

 

[metalslimer]

DK643D (Camelot plz)
BM643D (it'd be in-house technically if NDCube does it)
Kirby (HAL's been uber quiet...)
Potential 2nd 3D Mario?

He said by mid year it's going to be a lot of digital titles. I wonder if they include VC there as well.

 

[Bsigg12]

Nevermind

 

[dkeane]

Yup I'd be upgrading to this for Fire Emblem if it was available. Still pumped for Fire Emblem on my launch 3DS though

 

[Dion Blaster]

Thanks, Obama.

No more ports and remakes. We need new entries in those franchises.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Bravelt Default, NOW!

 

[evanmisha]

So, wait... people actually think Lego City is gonna sell gangbusters?

 

[Zero-Crescent]

wiiu want to do more collaboration with 3rd party developers and not just licensing, wiiu connectivity is 74% and want to enhance pad usage

.

 

[rouken]

im okay with releasing jap games as eshop titles. just localize it all!

 

[Scum]

10 more for 3DS, not Wii U, but it might include digital by the phrasing.

If it's the only way for me to play Bravely Default & FF-Type-0, then it's all good.
