875%? Why not 875032%???

If this is true, its hilarious. If not, still hilarious.

Either way, that announcement was pure concentrated failure. There was no incentive to want to buy the thing, just fees and fees, requirements, and proprietary expenses

I expect the Wii U to pick up even more sales with more games, a price drop, and the announced price of the home entertainment systems. They will be slightly pricey going by the ammount of gear they are packing.

I do find it notable to mention that those numbers are for the UK only.

Here's US:

Wii U is not even on the board.

The problem is that Amazon in the US doesn't sell the Wii U....

Amazon itself doesn't sell Wii U's but other stores that go through Amazon can. I think that's the deal with all Nintendo products for Amazon.

It is for hardware--they do sell the games directly, tho.

But we are talking about the Sales of the Wii U not of the games

Well yes, but when you say "Nintendo products", that generally covers all of them, so I'm just clarifying, Internet.

I never said Nintendo Products I said Wii U?

Err, yes, I know. You interjected into a quote i was responding (or rather clarifying) from someone else.The usage of "you" was the 'royal' you.

Why am I even explaining this...

 

[SuzieJoeBob]

I guess they sold 8 consoles then?

8.75 to be exact. The "0.75" is due to the people that take certain items out of the box, call up Customer Support saying that the item was missing, then get a 'replacement' for the 'missing item'. (a.k.a. 90% of all customers)

Time to jump to the "Xbawks is doooooomed!!!1!" bandwagon.

Meh. This "news" is sketchy at best. If this is the way console sales should be counted, I'd imagine the lists being quite a bit different. Sales should be looked at a country level (US/JP) or region level (EU, S-America, etc), not at a store level. Regardless of the store being Amazon.

Even if the reasons for this are not that clear, or how much this sales wave will spread and endure, it's certainly good news for Nintendo

And that op GIF ...damn! it's perfect

No surprise, I hope both PS4 and Wii U beat the XBO, unless Sony does the same DRM then I hope Wii U destroys both but that's unlikely unless their Sega deal also includes Shenmue III around PS4/XBO launch, that would totally throw a spanner in the works.
