So Pachter was wrong again...
Really sad to see Mario and Wii U bomb so bad
Mario deserves better. The Wii U does not.

Nintendo releasing a console that is more powerful in 2015 is a horrific idea. They will get 0 3rd party support and the system will probably sell worse than Wii U. No Nintendo either needs a dramatically different approach or they have to quit consoles for good.
lol that's your response?

Nah son we're doing Price is Right Rules, closest without going over!
Ohhhh you lucky bastard
Cool, care to address my points?
So people aren't playing the best game of the year, and this pleases you?
Industry is a fucking mess, it's really shitty all the way around, look at that shameful top 10.
MS spin
Horrific situation for Nintendo
Sony can spin the new console, but they still have a dead ass portable on their hands.
The "gaming" community are content buying this year new iteration of the same old shit.
I hope to god above if there is one, to at least let Wii U thrive with Indies, till they figure out what to do next. Until then, it'll be 3DS/Steam and that's about it for me.
True sadness...
Is he ever actually right?

That top ten is horrible
It is, isn't it. Damn depressing. Not one single original IP. Not sure who's more at fault, the publishers and developers for churning out sequels or gamers for lapping them up.

While I'm disappointed by the poor numbers by the Wii U and 3D World, at least they're bad enough that I can have decent confidence that it's going to lead to massive leadership changes. If they had somehow managed to pull off even 300K+ they might have been able to BS their way into staying the course. The next year is probably going to have lots of transition at Nintendo, hopefully. I doubt there will be many more big, unannounced games for Wii U with the way it's going now. They'll probably keep it on lifesupport with sales with their last heavy hitters of Smash/MK8/Zelda U and push any games in early stages of development to their next console in 2016 or whatever.
whats wrong with nintendo 3rd party? nintendo games for everyone? I can play super mario 3d world without buying a dead console? what is wrong with these statements
Amazon get almost daily restocks.
People who work on retail say they get more Xbones than PS4bones.
It's anecdotal at best.
Bless you.
10/10, would support on kickstarter.
Iwata and the Wii U are done
You are allowed to slap anyone who claims that Smash or Kart will change things because this won't happen, this console is the most unpopular mainstream console ever
We had good times Iwata
No Nibel, not you too :/
The goose is pretty much cooked, I suppose.

Hardware LTD Mario 3D Sales Attach Ratio
GCN 2.120.000 350.000 16,5%
Wii 6.000.000 1.120.000 18,7%
Wii U ~ 1.550.000 215.000 13,9%Hmm, with those Mario numbers, Knack just might have a shot at beating 3D World in the US as well.
Oh boy. Might have to retreat to the Happening Bunker.
Haha, probably.
I know mot people dislike his attitude, but I'll take a blunt person over a passive-aggressive attitude anytime. Besides, Derrick gives everyone a hard time. It's not like he only attacks one company and gives the ones he likes a pass. That's what usually annoys me.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Third parties have been whining since the beginning about Nintendo not having a powerful enough console for them to showcase their games. This would take care of that. If third parties have been lying and STILL won't put games out, Nintendo has a MUCH bigger problem here.
As for the incremental upgrade, think about how much video cards have gotten better in 3 years. To me, that's not an "incremental upgrade." It would be enough for consumers to see, I believe.
Onward, Christian Soldier!

Even if they do go powerful next time, that wont bring 3rd party games. Games for Nintendos console will always be an afterthough.

If the Wii U kicked the Vita's ass with 220k, what they hell should we expect from the vita? 35k?
Manmademan

not significantly, no.
Keep in mind most gaffers were in the 300-400K range.
Pachter Predicts 150K, it does around 220- that's actually a fair prediction. lowballed, but gets the gist of it. horrific, horrific numbers for nintendo.

HAHAHHAHA WHAT THE HELL!!!
Shit, I don't even know what they are going to do anymore.
Their trump card better be as good as they think it is. They didn't have the balls to show Mario back in January, yet they showed X.
X better be as good as they think it's going to be, and hype the fuck out of it through every medium possible.

So I guess they won't be making another 2D/3D hybrid Mario?
Good.
Good.
He's laughing at Iwata.
Did you study at Nelson University?

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Wow, that's terrible. The Wii-U did a tad better than I expected, but Mario is much, MUCH lower than I expected. That's actually worse....

That's perhaps the best news of this. And I LIKED 3D World. But it was no Galaxy
How did PS3 do?

so 4-5 more years of droughts, no third party support, and overall irrelevance it is.

The Vita would be Scar, but at least Scar was king for a bit. Maybe the Vita is that mouse he eats at the start.

How do we know it "kicked the Vita's ass"? We know absolutely nothing about Vita sales for Novemeber.

Sorry, I meant the Vita numbers for THIS month, not November 2012.
Oh god, if they're under 100k I don't know man I LOVE YOU VITA PLEASE DON'T DIE
Yeah Mario I view a bit more as symptomatic, though it's system selling capacity isn't great.
