A pretty lackluster month for anything not called PS4 or XBOne. Those 3DS sales in particular are alarming, hopefully Nintendo will eventually realize the $200 handheld market only briefly existed (the DSi has turned out to be worse for Nintendo that I ever imagined, sending Iwata hurtling off in the wrong direction just as the market raced off in another).
Are you saying actually HAVING new Wii U software in February this time increased Wii U software sales compared to last year's complete no-show? Man, who'd have thought?
Iwata's grand scheme revealed, no new games means next year's paltry sales look amazing.
Nice number for Bravely Default, glad to see.
Considering the smaller number of days for DKCTF, those might be nice numbers as well. Hope it keeps it up next month.
Agree with BD, but too early to say for DKCTF other than they aren't obviously great or terrible. Even looking at past performance it difficult given the different install bases between Wii and Wii U, different demographics, starkly different software situations, different release times, and simply too few games to directly compare for a baseline. We'll get a better idea in a few months.
A clear indication that Nintendo needs to throw as many of their first party titles they can muster to gain Wii U sales. The release of a new Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, Star Tropics, Advanced Wars, Fire Emblem, etc, would push the Wii U further to surpassing the Gamecube in sales.
Clearly, and to do so they need to expand, buy new developers, and make partnerships with others... in 2009. I wonder if GCN sales are even possible at this point, the GCN had a pretty nice mid-life revival (outsold the PS2 a few months in NA iirc) but then again it died shortly thereafter. Hey, there's one way Nintendo can boost the Wii U, drop it to $100 (or was it $150), with a choice of 4 or 5 great games people would actually want, and do it right before Mario Kart comes out.
