According to Michael Pachter, Wii U sold 675k units in US for December.
I think that number is just his best guess, numbers come out on Thursday
I hate to be the one to tell you, but the US isn't a PAL region.
Pacher NPD: "675,000 Wii U units were sold at US retail in its second month."

We still got your cold hard numbers, they're just delivered with a little personality.Don't really follow PAL charts, but are these sensationalist thread titles really not frowned upon for a cold hard numbers thread? Or are the Euro threads more casual than Media Create/NPD?

Isn't it "en route" or have I been saying that wrong for years?
His post was referring to this being the PAL (Europe) sales thread, and those numbers being US numbers.Pacher NPD: "675,000 Wii U units were sold at US retail in its second month."
I've seen two Wii U demo stations, one in GAME and one in HMV. The one in HMV was turned off, which was a brilliant way to sell the system. The one in GAME had one demo, Rayman Legends. You'd have thought they'd at least have put Nintendoland and NSMBU on the demo stations as well.Still zero WiiU marketing where I live and no demo stations. I'm actually surprised it sells at all. Nintendo has lost it for sure, Saturo Shibata is awesome in Nintendo Direct but he alone can't sell system.

Here in the UK it isn't exactly doing brilliantly. Around 60-70,000 over launch weekend and the following 2 weeks, then after that it dropped off the charts so what it sold is anyone's guess, although it certainly can't be in high numbers given the non-appearance of Nintendoland.
Software right now is abysmal, games 6-10 in the Wii U top 10 sold low 3 digit numbers (378 copies or less). Yes, 378. Nintendo needs to do something, fast.

No offense intended, but hopefully dabra does it. Not because of subtitles, but because of formatting and comprehensiveness. (French chart, Nordic charts etc.)if I do next weeks, I won't add a subtitle.
Does anyone know if there are Australian and New Zealand numbers floating around? I ask because obviously the Wii U scenario in the UK is dire and that means that the chances of relying on Nintendo UK for local versions (and NZGameshop for importing) aren't something on which I'd bet. But I know Nintendo of Australia, to an extent, operate as their own entity. Like how they released Animal Crossing on the GameCube and DS well before the European versions.
I only need the Wii U to get Nintendo titles to make the investment worthwhile (and that's why I'm less worried about it than, say, the Vita), but I'd still like to know there is a chance of getting those titles, seeing as the thing is region-locked.
Maybe I'll have to rely on the eShop.

By the time dabra normally posts the charts all discussion has been had in the previous thread. If a new thread can't be posted consistently when the new charts are up then maybe it is time for someone else to do it.No offense intended, but hopefully dabra does it.

That would be useful. As already mentioned, for search and archival purposes a hosted screencap isn't the best of options.I can change the format if that would help. these are haphazardly put together due to thinking that dabra would eventually come back to doing the charts.
I tend to remember the thread generally came up promptly outside of the Christmas/NY period. Maybe it wasn't always dabra; I don't really have any issue with someone else posting if they use the same formatting conventions.By the time dabra normally posts the charts all discussion has been had in the previous thread.

There's nothing to stop people posting the country charts for inclusion in the OP.
Where do you live? Here in Norway I have yet to see an ad, ANYWHERE. There's pretty much zero marketing of the WiiU here in Norway.
What would happen to the Wiiu if MS and Sony did a price drop now?
I dont think Nintendo could recover from that.
I wonder if Nintendo is doing any Wii U advertise in UK. NSMB U not even in the charts is a huge indication there's something VERY WRONG there.
Wii u was dead on arrival.
Yep. New PES at launch. And not the usual cheap multiplatform shit.
Brand might be a problem but we know the Football market is fucking demanding, they go after quality first and foremost. PES 13/14 need to bring it or they'll continue to be mostly ignored.
FIFA just became too good, probably the success story this gen we should all be happy about.
PES meanwhile basically for one year 'stopped' then never started again. It was really weird, it had such momentum behind it too.
Just because PES doesn't sell as well as Fifa doesn't mean it hasn't been profitable for Konami. I remember reading a post that it has shipped a million + in Europe.
It's like saying if any fps series doesn't match Call of Duty numbers it should be killed.
..Sales..
I keep seeing your posts and can I ask why you leave Wii U out of the top sellers lists? It's not a nice thing to do to the poor machine. It'll get insecurities.
pretty much. here's hoping for an official price cut instead of lowering the trade price to avoid another ambassador programme disaster.
