Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

The Wii U is not sold out in some regions, but it is probably losing some sales in other regions due to poor stock. I wasn't attempting to make a statement by comparing the Wii U's numbers to week 394 of the other consoles. I was suggesting that such a comparison was flawed. Enthusiasm is quantifiab...

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

I stated that it outsold the other consoles when we compare launch numbers. Obviously it hasn't outsold other consoles taking lifetime sales into consideration considering the Wii U has been out for two weeks. The Wii U sold more consoles at launch than those other consoles. That is a fact. I am no...

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

They aren't good. It's just a Nintendo launch. Their core is large enough to sell a few million in the first few months. Invalid point if even a true one. The original statement was comparing sales in the same amount of time for the past big systems and it stuck out as doing well. You can find what...

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

What sales could be 2 years from now doesn't make the current launch sales any less valid. Get over it, the numbers are good. Btw, I just found out the Wii U controller doesn't support multi-touch (I haven't done much research on this system) and it often requires you to press firmly on the screen ...

Re: Donkey Kong Country Trilogy Removed From Virtual Console

I think Goldeneye already supports widescreen. Rare were forward thinkers.

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

Seems like you just need to put a negative spin on it; do you write for Kotaku or IGN? It is an impressive (aka very good) launch no matter how you want to slice it. It doesn't matter if it did better than A B or C, it did a heck of a job at launch. Har har. What next? Going to ask me for my Gamefa...

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

400,000 units at launch isn't impressive. What is impressive then if outselling the past competition isn't? Seems impressive to me. I believe I answered that already. It will be impressive if the system manages to keep its momentum. The past competition it outsold was subject to enormous shortages ...

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

Stopped by my local Wal-Mart today. They had 5 Deluxe and at least 2 Basic units. It seems they were better prepared this time. It was a successful launch for sure. They are mostly out of stock around me in the north of Boston area but I did see a basic unit at TRU. System launches. Wii U - 400k so...

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far

It's important to remember that I live in Utah. The people here are very price sensitive in general.
