Wii U's Japan launch is tomorrow. Should be interesting to see how its sales stack up against the rest.

I saw a pic of their sales floors. A million copies of Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper. I haven't even seen one copy here in the US even though it's available for sale here.

Current lifetime sales in Japan

Nintendo 3DS – 8,587,879
PlayStation 3 – 8,679,266
PSP – 19,468,599
PlayStation Vita – 1,063,582
Nintendo Wii – 12,601,986
Xbox 360 – 1,607,183
PlayStation 2 – 21,828,208
Nintendo DS – 32,875,045
Amazing to see the Vita making it's way towards 360 territory already whilst the 3DS has nearly reached the PS3's sales ALREADY!

As for the Japanese WiiU launch: just imagine if Nintendo had've launched with (something like...) Monster Hunter 4 - with later compatibility/transferable saves with the 3DS version (similar to how Vita & PS3 work together). As far as I know though, MH4 is 3DS only, for now.

I imagine that would have sold an even more insane number of units than the insane units it will undoubtedly sell anyway...

That makes it all the funnier. People who buy consoles to exploit others via ebay are tools.

Tool or no, I bought 6 PS2s when they first came out and the first 4 went for over $1k each....

I got these Wii U's at slightly below cost and will usually list them for a penny and let the market do it's thing. Worst case I take one back to the store or give it as a gift and keep one.

I really like the white one better, but most people seem to go for the black ones that's why I went black.

Does anybody know or have a list of Wii U games that support play on the gamepad only? (remote play)

I know NSMBU and Nano Assault Neo do. Any others?

edit: Assassin's Creed III as well.

I've been playing razors edge the ninja gaiden game on mine. I find it a little annoying that to switch to gamepad only you need to go into a menu on the tv screen. Like so you can't just pick up the pad and go unless its already set that way-weird really.

You should have picked up 6 copies of Neo Geo X instead. XD

You can transfer saves on MHTriG between Wii U and 3DS.

I've had this thing for two weeks now and pretty much all I've done is draw shit in Miiverse. This thing is pretty damn fun and I have barely played any games on it.

Yeah, MiiVerse is a blast.

People trolling the Rapala and 30 Family Arcade Games thread with funny, and often times, well drawn pictures mocking both games..Good for a few laughs.

The best thing about Miiverse is the community support. It's like a friendly, helpful, easily accessible version of gamefaqs.

First night of Chanukah was last night and very unexpectedly I got a deluxe edition! I had no idea this was coming. Spent 2 hours updating last night and only got to play a little today.

Now I guess I don't have to worry when TW101 and Bayo2 come out and I don't have a WiiU.

Activate your friends list, mang. I cannot send you a friend request until you do.

Since I felt this was a nitch item and pretty much only fans of the NG were getting it, I didn't want to do that. I did get one for myself though....

As for the "scumbag" and "dick" comments above, sorry you don't understand what supply and demand are or the fact that something is only worth what someone will pay for it. I didn't have a gun to anyone's head, and if parents want to spoil their rich kids with a thousand dollar toy, who am I to say no to that?

EDIT: Back to the topic at hand, I'm actually closer to opening one of the bad boys up though and playing it b/c after reading this thread it got me excited about the U.

Sadly though, other than Mario, nothing else is jumping out at me to purchase, I hope third parties jump on the controller with new ideas.

so buying extra to control suplly doesn't strike you as odd. you are just helping thevpeople who could've paid retail if you and others hadn't decided to profit. just saying thats where the comments are coming from.

I mean, come one, it's like no one has ever been to a sports game or conert that has scalpers? I camped out all night to get those systems, my effort your cost is how I see it. The only person willing to shell out $1k for a video game system that they could buy for $300 in another 30-60 days is a fool who deserves to part with their money.

But again, enough, back on Wii U topic.

Yeah, I'm going to have to wait a couple months to buy one because of shitheads like you who gobble up as many consoles as they can, so they can try to shit them out for double the profit. You're a fucking leech.

Well, Wes your feedback score seems good, you can paypal me the cost of the console and shipping and I'll be glad to mail you what you deserve.

There were several Wii U's sitting at my local Kmart.

No one who can afford a Wii U goes to Kmart.

We wont talk about why I was at Kmart.

Target by me says they have some of the 32GB in stock right now as well. I'm tempted, but I don't really need one ;) I may go down and look, though. I haven't even played with one for a second. Would be nice to see what all the fuss is about with the Miiverse and etc in store.

Lol, this guys offended at being called a shitbag for doing a shitbag thing. I hope you sit on those systems until you are forced to trade them in.
