Media Create Sales: Week 8, 2013 (Feb 18 - Feb 24) Vita > Wii u Edition

Dat Rising being number 1.[QUOTE="omarissac"]nintendo should call it quits and go third party, i'm only talking about consoles, there brand seems to be destroyed with gamers after wii, they can still make a cheap console that can strike lighting twice but, the chances are slim.timmy00

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"]If only the WiiU could've gotten some of those multiplats coming out.nintendoboy16

If I'm not mistaken the PSV had a substancial price drop in japan so its not surprising. See Sony? Price drops do wonders! ;)

Anyways, dayum, the 3DS is killing... japanese sure like their handhelds

Shows me a lot about your taste... Regardless of how you feel about it, Rising is objectively good, made by a great studio, part of a great series. It will sell.DropsofJupiter

Show you what about my taste? The only part you got right was that it was part of a great series, I don't see how you can say it's objectively good either, the combat is below average, even lower than god of war.

You obviously have a personal grudge against Rising. Get the hell over your self.

wait til wiiu gets their big guns,   look at 3ds , oh and why vitas sold slightly more is some stores reportedly dropped their price early before the drop tomorow , and vita does have some games for the japan market,   

wiiu does not have but 2 games ,   not counting nintendos  ,     

people do reaise psvita had a price cut by many retailers i didnt even know that before posting ,   

but ya  when wiiu  gets its games  the sales will pick up 3ds went through this vita still going through this  and I AM CERTAIN  nintendo has time ,  ps4 is not out yet nor is 720  ,  those are wiius main competitors

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] Sometimes, I just can't help but repeat myself, and I try not to.DropsofJupiter

Alright got me, I was off. Still, Nintendo's games still got the most attention on that console, regardless of how well third party did on SNES (well, save for EA, they never really had a base on Nintendo consoles outside of James Bond and Lord of the Rings when they had those licenses during the GameCube era).

Still, when meltdowns happen later in Nintendo's business over when some third party games appearing on their systems, be it they were on non-Nintendo consoles first (Resident Evil, Bayonetta), or announced first as Nintendo exclusives (Tatsunoko vs Capcom, No More Heroes, Goldeneye 2010), and that's why I have massive doubts.

[QUOTE="omarissac"][QUOTE="DropsofJupiter"] The Wii U has no reason whatsoever to sell at all. When it gets games, I am sure it will sell accordingly. As of right now, the Wii U has nothing that would spur or stimulate hardware sales whatsoever.mariokart64fan

wait til wiiu gets their big guns,   look at 3ds , oh and why vitas sold slightly more is some stores reportedly dropped their price early before the drop tomorow , and vita does have some games for the japan market,

comparing 3ds to wiiu is a horrible comparison, one has great third party support for a handhled, and nintendo has owned the handheld mark forever now, there brand is the handheld market, while most gamers i know laugh when i mention the wiiu, you will see those big nintendo games come and not do a damn thing for hardware sales in the us/europe, while giving a small boost in japan, i also love how nintendo fans don't count MP games, well sorry to tell you this but third party excusives are very rare these days.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]

Missed the point.

LordQuorthon

23 thousand posts and you've never had a point. 

So, you're saying Nintendo's franchises didn't get the most attention back then? Even if third party sold well on SNES, Ninty's franchises still got the attention even then. Just like now, only a few third parties even sell well.

nintendoboy16

Were you old enough to play video games (or even born) back then?

[QUOTE="DropsofJupiter"] Shows me a lot about your taste... Regardless of how you feel about it, Rising is objectively good, made by a great studio, part of a great series. It will sell.OneSanitarium

Show you what about my taste? The only part you got right was that it was part of a great series, I don't see how you can say it's objectively good either, the combat is below average, even lower than god of war.

You obviously have a personal grudge against Rising. Get the hell over your self.

A personal grudge? wtf? So I can't say the game is mediocre now like all you guys did with DMC?

he's probably a butthurt DmC fanboy trying to downplay the superior action game.

Shinobishyguy

Well DMC has better gameplay, it outscored it and looks like it's currently outselling it.. superior game my ass.

Vita price drop happens tomorrow so we'll see how it does. Soul Sacrifice isn't till next week though. Wii-U is below the VIta now? Wow Nintendo wow. That is a new level and not good at all with the PS4 launching later this year.FlamesOfGrey

Soul Sacrifice + Price Drop = ?

[QUOTE="OneSanitarium"][QUOTE="GD1551"]Show you what about my taste? The only part you got right was that it was part of a great series, I don't see how you can say it's objectively good either, the combat is below average, even lower than god of war.Shinobishyguy

Or maybe he's smart enough to realise that even DmC is a better action game than Rising. The world also seems to agree with him seeing as it managed to outscore, outsell and actually have an evade move.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]Yes LordQuorthon

Nintendo needs e3 to happen like RIGHT NOW. 

We need to see Smash Bros, 3D Zelda, 3D Mario, More Bayonetta, Wonderful101, Retros game, A pricedrop, and FAST. 

 How?

I don't know. I guess you have a knack for it. 

Nintendo needs e3 to happen like RIGHT NOW. 

We need to see Smash Bros, 3D Zelda, 3D Mario, More Bayonetta, Wonderful101, Retros game, A pricedrop, and FAST.

Protip: New Super Mario Bros. Wii outsould all those franchises effortlessly.

Problem: For some reason, New Super Mario Bros. U is not doing that for the Wii U.

Main reason for the whole mess: It is a horrible moment to launch a new video game console. Microsoft and Sony are going to learn this the hard way too.

Subordinate circumstances that aggravate the main problem: There's no reason for a costumer to trust Nintendo when it comes to home consoles considering that they effectively abandoned the Wii years before the Wii U even launched (everyone watch nintendoboy's mind numbingly idiotic response to this. It's tons of fun). Also, New Super Mario Bros. U, great as it may be, inevitably feels phoned in in the eyes of the costumer because it looks, feels and plays like previous iterations. That was NOT the case with 8-bit and 16-bit Mario games. 

Any other explanation that deviates from that is automatically wrong and whoever speaks it is an imbecile.

Alright got me, I was off. Still, Nintendo's games still got the most attention on that console, regardless of how well third party did on SNES (well, save for EA, they never really had a base on Nintendo consoles outside of James Bond and Lord of the Rings when they had those licenses during the GameCube era).

Still, when meltdowns happen later in Nintendo's business over when some third party games appearing on their systems, be it they were on non-Nintendo consoles first (Resident Evil, Bayonetta), or announced first as Nintendo exclusives (Tatsunoko vs Capcom, No More Heroes, Goldeneye 2010), and that's why I have massive doubts.

It was phoned in, but I don't think consumers don't trust Nintendo or anything anymore. Its they want something New if they are going to upgrade and so far the wiiu hasn't done that. 

The reason NSMBWii sold so well is because at the time, there were about what, 70 million Wii owners, with not much to play. Same thing happened with Mario Kart, they sold circumstantially because there were so many wiis out there, and they were both very fun accessable games to pick up and play with your family if you already had the system. But they were never system sellers. 

All Nintendo needs to do is show off a game that makes people say, "Wow that looks fun", or "wow I need to get that because theres no way my normal Wii can do that" and people will buy into them again but they haven't done that yet.

Some stores must have dropped the price early, leading to the uptick in Vita sales.Blabadon

yea that must be it and also the sony conference made some sony fanboys finally get one

i expected the vita to outsell the wiiU after the price drop....but not this week...very sad and shocked to see this.
