Vita Sept+Oct was ~70K for reference.
Lol.
I managed to over-predict even at 90K.

And there's the final laugh. Thank you, CS. Was a fun thread. Vita and Wii U aside, it's good to see he industry is still doing well.
Damn that's horrid.

Ah my beloved handheld Dreamcast.
lay next to your fallen brethren.
I knew it was going to be terrible but I wasn't expecting sub-75K though.

When something is failing people always blame the marketing. Blackberry's CEO blames the marketing. Palm fans blamed the Marketing. Apple fans in the 90's blamed the marketing and then low and behold, when they started shipping good products their sales improved.
It's never the marketing.
Ouuuchhh I was hoping it would be between 100k and 150k....

They will. Losses are out of question. However, FY 2014 will be a bloodbath without some serious changes.
No Zelda, No Mario
You know whose turn it is
Come on Cranky work your magic.
I blame Luigi, giving him his own year was just asking for it. ;p
No they are taking a loss with the Wii U, which is why they can't can't lower the price any more.

I'm not sure where you are getting this idea that I am saying it's going to Plus. Not once in any my posts have I mentioned it going to Plus because it is a low seller (I did respond to a poster who did though).
I simply mentioned it's going to be on sale this weekend (starting Sunday specifically) at Gamestop for $20, and before that, wondered if the half-price price-cut less than a month after launch could be indicative of sales.
Good lord.
Oh man, I thought it would at least break 100K.

I really don't count the Wii as it really was less of a games console and more of a toy. You might as well say that Symbian outsold the iPhone at that point, when in reality Symbian was only selling at the very, very low end and was really nothing compared to the iPhone. And I was meaning that halfway through last gen, around the time Kinect was released and J Allard left the PS3, like Samsung, got its shit together and started to rise a comparable level as that of its competition.

Just look at the top 10.
CoD + BF + AC + Sports Games. That is really telling of where the industry is heading. Even with that launch from PS4/XB1 this generation will be leaded by 100 versions of those games, everyone obviously focusing so much on Nintendo but I would say for every system say goodbye to the niche games that we love so much, every game released will be so predictable.

Dead dead and deader. Never try handhelds again Sony. At least the Wii U will keep it company.

70k-75k isn't too bad, lots of forward inertia for the coming year. they just need to keep releasing software and market the thing correctly.
I thought it was supposed to skyrocket since it goes so well with the PS4, something something remote play.
Oh well, i'll still be buying To-Love Ru next year.
Ouch, also to think the Vita had two somewhat big releases in Tearaway and Ys. This is pretty bad.

But Nintendo is stuck with that albatros of a controller that inflates the cost of the system while apparently failing to drive demand.
I think they all have their place really. Not to sound too philosophical or anything but a healthy industry is good for all. bigger market = more incentives for indie devs for example. Win win
I'm not so sure that Sony is making a much of a profit(if any) on every unit sold, so.....
Hell it'd be good for retailers though.
The one thing keeping the Vita (barely) going is that software sales are pretty good for the thing.

Whether it's Iwata or someone else, I don't envy their position at this point. The next few years are going to be fucking brutal.

HELL YEAH
Wii U did 50k last month. This month, it had a 340% increase in sales, getting you about 220k for November sales.
So the 3DS outsold it by more than 1000%?
wtf? It's main feature was that it played games. How was it less of a game console?

Not unless there's a flood of must-have games and cheap memory cards.
