Week-on-week it's more than double what it was last year. Weekly it's been doing consistently better than it did in 2014. What I'm getting at is that all these new owners will have to be kept busy with new releases but Nintendo might not have planned for this.

WiiU could sell over 100k next week, but it won't because the stock problems.

1 thing that is scary though is the lack of evergreen wii u games showing up. No kart, smash, pikmin, no anything.
Outside of that fantastic result for Wii u being able to do 80k with two old games

Think Puzzle & Dragon and you wouldn't be too far off.

Splatoon (!) creating Wii U stock problems... Unbelievable.
I remember it having TERRIBLE microtransaction management, but I'd say that we are seeing this pattern (first game good sales, sequel very lower sales) for many "Licensed" "anime" games (One Piece, Hokuto no Ken, Jojo's adventures).
Me, personally, I'm attracted by the first iteration of such games because of the change to play with "my favourite characters" for the first time, while the appeal of a sequel is way weaker. So, maybe, is a mix of "brand fatigure" and "first episode bad reception".
Hindsight is 20/20
Buy me one pls.
Wonder how likely a quick restock can happen to push Wii U to 3 mil LTD before the end of the year.

Looking at Exist Archive, I guess 30k prediction for #FE isn't so bad.
This is such a weird console
But its good to see, that Nintendo can ride out the Wii U relatively stable.

SPLATOON VS MARIO MAKER WEEK 15
Splatoon: 16,074 / 656,454
Mario Maker: 80,807 / 576,913
Mario Maker should beat Splatoon launch allinied in 2 weeks :O
Then of course Splatoon will back first because we already count the holidays sales for Mario Maker, but still.
Amazing sales.

They sold the pip boy edition here and the app can only be used when the game is set to English. Which you can only do by changing your system language to English.
BN confirmed a western release for Eyes of Heaven on Monday.

80 000 for the Wii U?! That is really insane! Last year in the same week it was 38 314(by media create) and smash bros was released.
Splatoon is really a monster.

I think Nintendo traditionally dominates the holiday season no matter what. Only exception I think was when MHP3 came out on PSP.
Everyone is busy with Splatoon, Mario Maker and Taiko no tatsujin.
Also, about Jojo, if i remember right, Hokuto musou also have a big drop for its sequel, even selling on more platforms. Don't think it was on the same level though...
Obviously the first game left the people a bit sour. But i don't think it's a problem with bamco franchises in a whole. There are other companies in worse positions, like tecmo koeiI, since their last successes were two games using franchises from other companies (Zelda Musou and DQ heroes). Musou games are selling well because of asia, but in japan they are consistently doing worse and worse.
Bamco will do fine, just like they always do. Sometimes games bomb

Fuck... We will not see these types of numbers again (or at least not for a very, very long time).
Pikmin an evergreen title? If you look last week's top 50 you'll see Wii U evergreen titles that are rising.
At this point with NX likely debuting in a year-ish, it would be unlikely and IMO kinda pointless. They'll be glad for the surprise surge in sales in JP and hope to ride the wave to a big NX launch.

Jeez I've made a mistake, It's fixed now : pNo, is only 80,000, 80 million in one week yeah is REALLY insane.

Wii had NSMBW too. So that was pretty much a year of high performing games being released during the season.
I'm not talking just the holidays though. PS4 is ahead by a decent margin this year but if you look at the amount of software releases it's really not by that much relative to the support they both get. Then again Splatoon is a phenomenon.

That's not true. Nintendo dominates holidays because it offers a compelling software line-up, and it is able to attract kids, who are money-spenders in these periods. Nintendo is selling well throughout the year - Splatoon never dropped below 10k since it launched, and sold 800k+ before holidays were starting.
In 2003 - 2004, for example holiday charts were dominated by Sony and its PS2. Last year, Wii U sold terribly, instead.
Honestly I think and hope that brand awareness is good enough that if people want another game to play, they will pick up the Mario, Zelda, etc. games already available. It's really too late for Nintendo to bother putting big new games in development for Wii U at this stage in the game IMO, especially with NX coming soon and with the Wii U resurgence being primarily in JP and not as much in the West unfortunately.
Please don't remind me. Those have to be the most disappointing sales for a Nintendo game in years to me. I dunno though. Maybe Wii U in general is worse. :/
Do you think next wekk will be bigger or lower than this?

Makes sense yeah didn't see those games.

Wow wii u not too shapy.
I think we have seen recently that it could have been bigger than this, and probably will be for other consoles, but it seems that the Wii U (I still struggle to believe this!!!) could face some stock issue :\

I am still convinced PS4 will do a lot better next year.
Yep it will. Being lower in price for the whole and a stronger drop of games throughout the year (Uncharted 4, SFV in spring, Persona in summer, TLG in Fall?) and other big games like FFXV will really boost sales next year.
LMAO this comment.

That's why i ask this, if there aren't stock problem, Wii U could sell >100k next week...

Yep :\
it makes me sad!
Me too, but I think that almost everyone here is convinced about that. It will have a full year at reduced price (with other possible cut, I don't know), a better lineup (for the Japanese tastes), less multiplatform games in the PS family (or weaker competition from PS3 especially, and partially from PSVita), so I think that everyone should look for better YoY numbers.
THe volume of the positive gap is under discussion, but not the gap being positive for '16

Ok, 3DS will definitely sell over 20m by this year's end now. Great achievement. Wii U numbers are incredible as well, especially considering the dearth of big holiday titles.
Splatoon, Mario Maker, Animal Crossing, Rhythm Heaven, Monster Hunter performing well as usual. Good stuff.

The only game that will make the difference next year comparing to this, if it comes out, is FF.
