Hmmmm. Methinks the PS4 launch might've hurt GT6 somewhat.

Media Create Sales: Week 48, 2013 (Nov 25 - Dec 01)

I expected a boost, but I was more thinking of something like 22k-25k for that system
The Holiday bump was expected, but that much? For Wii U, which was seriously doing horrible in Japan?
And DQX Expansion on Wii U sold 2x DQX Wii U debut? What...where...
It's going to die in the ass again after xmas until Kart comes out in Spring.....

You can't say I didn't tell you it would come back
Nice Wii Party U sales as well, it's a hit at my house.

200k for GT6, wat?
Better than I expected for sure, was thinking half that figure. I guess there is still a core of 300-400k people who play GT in Japan.

Why is stock for Pokemon so low? Nintendo should be printing million of cartridges right now.
It's Christmas time, now there can be freezewaves, I think.
It's Wii U. It has been consistently falling short of even the most pessimistic predictions here. This time, the bump is actually higher than what people expected.

I sensed that the value packs with those bundles had potential to sell well for the holidays but WiiU has been very notorious for underwhelming even the most pessimistic predictions.

It will, but it's great to see it's just performing badly and not completely dead yet.

This!!
Dont piss on our parade...
I am really happy for the DQX results..I still have the hope that it will reach our shores.
I'd double dip without hesitation. My biggest problem with GT6 is that my PS4 sits idle when I play it.
Yeah, I think that's really respectable number. Hopefully it can make its way to 100K.

Yeah, I'm glad to see that. Game is fantastic.
Good question. The bulk has probably been shifted to the west, though.

People who already had the Wii version of Dragon Quest X, they got 50% discount on the WiiU version if they bought it from the eShop. I think the expansion sales numbers shows that several of people used this eShop opportunity.

Why are the other 5k buying it without Mario, isn't Mario / Wii Party basically free in the bundle? Of course, I would buy a Wii U without it if the difference was even 1, because I want my games as "real" games, and not just downloads, but in that regard I'm probably "special" ^^.

Not to mention that anybody who already owns the vanilla release can upgrade to a digital copy of FTS for cheaper than a physical one.
Curious as to how many folks just went that route.

You know if Nintendo had a 2nd game ready around this time like Mario Kart 8, the momentum going into 2014 could've resembled the 3DS, along with DK on February it could've meant a nice start of a turnaround.

Between Week 40 and Week 44 the Wii U sold 12,874 units (MC), and average of 3,219 per week.
In a single week last week it sold nearly 4 times that combined 4 weeks of sales.
Fuck you if you want to pretend this week's number was likely.

You should look at GC December numbers to see that it was likely, yeah (and it's going up next weeks).
And very classy your "fuck you", yep
DQX expansion did wonderfully the first week.
Wonder what's the current userbase for this MMORPG.
BD for the sequel did also nicely IMO.
