  • Wii U Sales Cross 3 Million, Nintendo Cuts Sales Forecast

    sad-mario

    Nintendo has sold just over 3 million [amazon_link id=”B009AGXH64″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Wii U’s[/amazon_link] between launch and December 31, 2012. This is a decent number but still behind what the Wii sold back in 2006. The company had forecasted to sell 5.5 million consoles by the end of March, but have scaled that number back to a more modest 4 million. 3 million is still a good number for a console that not everyone was sold on. If Nintendo expects the Wii U to sell like the Wii then they are in for quarterly disappointment.

    [amazon_link id=”B00A9L2TZE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]New Super Mario Bros. U[/amazon_link] led the way for game sales on the Wii U with 2.3 million copies sold which is an insane 75% attach rate with the system. NintendoLand was the next best seller with 2 million copies, but I am assuming that the copies sold inside the Wii U Deluxe Set were counted.

    Nintendo also updated the lifetime sales numbers of the Wii (99.38 million), 3DS (29.84 million) and DS (153.67 million).

  • Nintendo Announces Digital Reward Program For Wii U

    The Big N Giving More Reasons To Buy A Wii U Deluxe Set.

     

    If you already have a Wii U Deluxe Set reserved then you already should be considered lucky with the console already sold out way before its launch. But now Nintendo is giving deluxe owners an even better deal besides the larger hard drive and Nintendoland.

    The Deluxe Digital Promotion will be available at launch and continue until December 31, 2014. For every dime spent in Nintendo’s eShop you will receive one point in the digital program. When you reach 500 points you will be rewarded with a $5 credit for a future eShop purchase. So for every new game bought digitally at $59.99 you will earn 599 points towards your reward total. Not a bad deal especially for people that love digital downloads over buying in a brick and mortar store.

    Your credits from the program must be spent by June 30, 2015.

    Nintendo’s Wii U launches on November 18th.
