>sell well in one store
>oh guys! Wii U is doing great, i swear!
It is still being CRUSHED by PS4
>>318068928
>being this butt blasted
try harder
FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
What the fuck did we do wrong, sonybros? Why does Nintendo ALWAYS win? It's fucking over, sonydudes..... We lost again...
>>318069102
Why am i buttblasted? I own both PS4 and Wii U but it's foolish to say that Wii U is doing well just because it sold well in one retailer
PS4 is destroying it in Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.
All they had to do was drop it to $250, but nooo, gotta have massive profit margins over actual sales.
>>318069184
sold extremely well in the biggest day in buying of the year, it's nothing to scoff at
I went to Target last night and the Xbone was definitely the one selling the most in store. The Wii U also got some sales. I went back a couple hours later though to grab something I'd forgotten and even though the Xbones and WiiUs were sold out the PS4s were barely touched.
So basically Sony lost.
>>318069235
But it was $250, and it had two free games (and not just throwaway ones either).
>>318069942
I mean permanently. Charging $300 for the Wii U with bundled digital games is outrageous.Splatoon is pretty shitty if you ask me. Sm4sh at least serves as a party game.
They already bought ps4s and xbones in the last 2 black fridays.
Xbone sold the most via Microsoft's buy a bundle get a game, wii u sold everywhere I went while ps4s barely sold
>>318070070
It's a good thing nobody asked you, isn't it?
Fuck that digital only shit. Plus thats probably 10 gb out of 32 right there
>>318070304
Oh, I know this is Nintendogaf, just saying. Mario Kart 8, now that was a solid bundle. 3D World, too.
>>318070070
>Charging $300 for the Wii U with bundled digital games is outrageous
well you could have $250 and have to buy the games at $60 a pop for a total of $370
could always flip the games for $30-50
>>318069150
Why is Sonywojak wearing Waluigi's hat?
>>318070537
Aren't they pre-installed to the Wii U?
We did it bros, we finally did it..
Suck it, Sony! Let this be a warning, don't try the mess with us ever again!
PS4 and XBO are nearly sold out around my stores, with unsold Wii U stacks laying on the floor. This is not happening everywhere
>>318069816
And how many will be returned when little timmy on christmas day opens his present and its not a ps4 or xbox with cod?
Weird, when I went to go buy mine last night, everyone seemed to focus on big TVs and for some reason big teddy bears
>>318069150
>>318070804
Why are sony fanboys much better at false flagging?
>>318070862
Considering how hip both Smash and Splatoon are currently, I doubt too many returns will occur.
>>318071136
Much more experience shitposting.
>>318071672
Hip... if your over 25.
i dont think ive ever heard a kid even mention the word Wii U over here.
>>318072203
Not talking about the Wii U itself, but Smash Bros and Splatoon are both popular among all ages thanks to proper marketing.
Time to go online and body the new blood lol
>>318068693
Remember when Mario Kart 8 came out and Wii U sales reportedly increased by 666%.
This doesn't mean shit.
>>318069837
Why are you lying on the Internet?
>>318069816
>>318072482
It really doesn't matter if Wii U sells well in these holidays
The system is pretty much dead and just a few exclusives are coming for 2016
Wii U barely outsold the Dreamcast a few months ago, it's pretty much dead at this point, Nintendo is ready to introduce NX next year.

>bundling 2 games that appeal to people who play games not targeted to babies
>it breaks records
OH EM GEE NINTENDO WHAT A SURPRISE!
>>318072894
>not targeted to babies
>Splatoon

>linking to ign
>lying on the internet
nice try butthead, black friday isn't even over and you're already trying to stir shit up
I hope there's a splatfest after christmas so I can make a bunch of kids feel bad about playing Splatoon.
>>318072894
Splatoon is one of the most childish games in the wii u library
Wow they got rid of excess stock that has been gathering dust for the past couple years. Bravo
>>318073535
It's the Splatoon/Smash bundle that just released smartass
>>318068693
The bundle was too good to ignore if you were thinking of getting a Wii U and don't mind digital. You'd still save a bunch if you went physical too.
>>318073535
Better sold than shipped back like all those unsold Vitas.
>>318073845
Funny, because Wii U can't even outsell Vita total lifetime sales and Vita has WAY more third party support than Wii U
Good fuck Sonyggers are mad as fuck in this thread lmao
>preloaded games
It doesn't surprise me that the Wii U is doing well. Probably a lot of the buyers already have an Xbone or PS4, which they bought because they were "cool," and were disappointed with the lack of decent games, so now they're trying the Wii U. I wouldn't be surprised if Wii U sales actually start to increase more steadily from here on from people experiencing fun games and sharing with friends.
