I wonder what XSEED expected for Pandora's Tower.

the last story did almost twice that, which was a pretty damn good opening. i imagine pandora's tower was a nice success for them as well.

had nintendo been timely with the releases in 2011, and marketed them themselves, those games each could have done way better. might have helped keep people invested in the wii, too.
 
Not sure what the surprise is with the wii U. It was already selling terrible numbers and there are just no releases. Even as a pretty big nintendo fan it's really hard to justify a wii U purchase.

The percentage in MS PR is include WiiU.

360>ps3>100k>50k>Wii>40k>WiiU>30k

WiiU > SS, of course.
Vita < 20k

They may as well not even drop the price of Vita. It's not doing anything either. Just keep gouging on those overpriced memory cards. Vita will fall below 10k at some point in the summer probably. PSP was off the shelves before it got this bad.
 
Can't see it breaking 100k until Pikmin 3 arrives. The pressure for them to finish that game must be unbearable. At least they have Animal Crossing next month to take the heat off.
 
Yikes at Vita.

So Wii U between 33K and 39K.
If you put PS3 at 100k that leaves Wii+WiiU at ~80k.

Wii at 45k and WiiU at 35k seems to be a fair guess.
Technically I'd say PS3 should be 101K+, leaving 78.5K for Wii + Wii U (based on 179.5K combined for the remaining 58% outside of 360).
 
Maybe stop being so secretive with those secret Vita games that are going to save the system.

Aaaargh, why didn't I close my eyes already!

I'm going to tell myself it's 19,999. Somehow that'll make it all OK.

Pretend it's Japan and those were the sales for a week.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
What is DDDA? I feel like I should know this.

I don't even think Pikmin will be enough. Is it system seller material?

How did the originals and Wii remakes sell?

This year NPD needs to do the inverse and release the May numbers during E3 so nobody will have time to look at the strong, graphic imagery.

Wow at that Vita number. Insane.
