Nintendo presented the sales numbers are far below expectation for Wii U.

Badly sales


Wii U Nintendo machine is a disappointment for the company. It is Kotaku reporting that sales between April and June is the surprising 160,000 units. This applies worldwide sales in a completely årskvartal. This is a number that is not only disappointing for Nintendo, it is purely frightening. By comparison, it sold now 7 year old Wii over 210,000 units during the same period.

Nintendo has explained the low sales that they are still not in goal when it comes to facilitating the efficient use of the console. Especially when it comes to integration with its sister console Wii. In addition, great look lean yet to recover.


Nintendo will reverse the trend


Nintendo also mentioned how they plan to reverse the trend. Among other things, they believe that the next big title screens will create a new momentum for the Wii U. Among the games mentioned are Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda, The Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, '' Super Mario 3D World, 'and' Wii Fit U. '

In addition, more resources are now directed towards the social aspect of the Wii U. Major investment in the social network called "Miiverse," will hopefully create a platform where players can share their experiences and effectively communicate with other players while they govern Zelda.

Whatever it is hard to believe that there is a kind of uneasiness in Nintendo. In April, they reported that 390,000 units were sold in total, almost half of what they intended, and the new numbers give no reason to believe that the trend could be reversed.

So is the Wii U a bad console or Nintendo just had bad luck?

Definitely I think we all the casual player who have an only console (I mean we focus our time on PC and spend some time with the friend in Wii) don´t need anything more (equal as the wii but too much expensive) to get fun with our 3 or 4 games... Just common sense.
