But Sup Forums told me it's an overpriced console with shit hardware that would flop worse than the virtual boy, could it be that Sup Forums was wrong once again?

>Japan

who cares - their taste is the absolute worst

Japanese games are made based on that taste so it matters.

>nintendo product sold out

okay and? they probably only had like 20k set for preorders

It's a Japanese console, of course it will do well in Japan but the rest of the world doesn't give a flying fuck

Japanese games have not been good in decades.

>playing shit jap games

at least better than whitecucks desu

They had 2 millions.

>not being white

>The big story, however, is the Wii U, which launched on November 18. Fils-Aime explained to CNET that the Wii U's sales figures during the last week were essentially capped by the company's ability to get units to store shelves.
>"Wii U is essentially sold out of retail and we are doing our best to continually replenish stock," Fils-Aime said. "Retailers are also doing their best to get the product to store shelves. But as soon as product hits retail, they're selling out immediately."

so only yuropoors have good taste?

All the good games in the past decade have been Japanese.

Nintendo strives off low availability

NINTENDO WON

besides demon's and dark souls
nothing

Yuros have the worst taste, they only play fifa.

>It's a Japanese console, of course it will do well in Japan
But Japan barely bought any PS4s, it was outsold by the Wii U for a long time, in fact, the Wii U might still be selling better than the PS4 in Japan, I'm just not sure.
Wii U had more sales in Japan when I whipped this up a few months ago though

>400$ Zelda Machine

>$400 Knack Machine

Fucking dumb gooks will buy any kind of shit.

The PS4 passed it like 2 months ago, but they also stopped wiiu productions so it was bound to happen.

american pigs only play madden, chinks sink money in mobile gatcha

But Knack is GOTYAY

Can't wait for 2

>vs a 400$ netflix and chill machine

Americans actually have the widest range of taste you dumb yuropoor.

ps4 isn't $400 ;)

Nintendo sells out of everything fast, idiot

it's not an achievement when you produce a conservative amount of hardware so you don't lose tons of money in the event of a console flopping.

Nintendo's been doing this since the Wii U

>tfw bought Wii U as a Zelda machine
>ended up being the first Nintendo console without an exclusive Zelda since the fucking Virtual Boy

>american pigs only play madden
Don't forget about EUs and their obsession with FIFA, its pretty much 90% of the reason why the PS2 has such impressive lifetime sales, EUs continued buying it and playing new FIFA games on it even around the launch of the PS4

Nintendo could sell a box that electrocutes you for 800 and Japs would buy every artificially scarce order.

They're the ultimate Nintendo fans who don't care there's no games.

That says 2 million worldwide for the entire month, we talking Japanese launch you retard.

>nips have shit taste more news at 4

>conservative amount
>they produced more than ps4's lauch

Cry more sonypony.

>They're the ultimate Nintendo fans who don't care there's no games.
If Japan are the ultimate Nintendo fans that don't care about having games as long as they get one or two Nintendo games

And Europe are the ultimate Sony fans that don't care about having games as long as they get one or two FIFA games

Why don't Americans buy Xboxs?

not a Sony owner, just a Wii U owner who knows all about Nintendo's shit

bongs are not even in the euro anymore, and all the sale figures you had were from the UK

>they set two million worldwide for the entire first quarter of 2017
>people are excited when it sells out

It's easy to jump a hurdle when you set it at ground level.

>Japan

I'd love to say that means it's popular but Nintendo always, ALWAYS has way too few hardware produced so shit is always sold out.

And those are a part of it retard, Japan it's on of their biggest markets they are gonna allot a bunch of them there.

Sorry, I'm not great with geography, and the recent events over there make it even more complicated, but you know what I mant. The general European area of the world loves their shitty sports games and has preferred using Playstation to play them for a long time, they're easily Sony's biggest fanbase

TOP SELLERS IN JAPAN:

PORN GAMES
POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS (VNs)
MOBILE GAMES
FUCKING ZELDA
FUCKING FINAL FAGGOTRY

It's based on taste, alright.

SHIT TASTE

>Please respond.

How much did the Wii U sell at launch globally?

How many pre-orders were available globally? All I know is the U.S. had 1.2 million pre-orders only and they're all gone.

ironic shitposting is still shitposting user

Knack is that one cheap licenced movie game that you loved as a kid but now you're old enough to realize that it's crap. The only difference is that you played Knack as an adult and not as a brainless kid, so you should have realized that it's crap right away

>299 = 400
lol

Sure and you didn't even know they were producing a shit ton of them for launch, fuck on sonygger.

Playstation VR is also sold out.

Are you telling me that PS VR is a smash hit?

So what? Everything Nintendo puts out 'sells out' because they under supply to create 'hype'

Its a stupid fucking tactics since some of those people who miss out on launch will spend their time waiting reading reviews, which may put them off.

Very few people, who weren't going to purchase a Switch are going to read an article stating it sold out and suddenly think 'Wow, guess I better buy one then'

I'll buy one if it actually gets good games, I put off getting a WiiU until reviews for Star Fox came in, thank fuck I waited.

Top Sellers in NA/EU
( see: )

>Call of Duty
>Assassin's Creed
>Madden
>FIFA
>GTA
>NBA

Its not looking much better over here desu, shit taste all around the globe evidently

The PS4 sold 2.1m in its first month and the Xbone did 1.9-2m.

Not sure about the Wii U

Italy and Spain also only play fifa..

Two million sales at launch is pretty impressive desu, about the same as the PS4

go madden

>because they under supply to create 'hype'
False, they seem to have stocked the same as the PS4 did: ~2m.

>Zelda
>top seller in nippon
>porn games
>visual novels
>selling at all

How does it feel to be retarded?

>PORN GAMES
>POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS (VNs)

I wish, those sell like shit.

this desparate downplaying lmao
truly pathetic

why are you quoting the best kind of games and speaking of them as if they weren't?

In australia, the pokemon go wristband sold out in minutes when it was first released via ebgames.
Nintendo has mastered the low stock appearance to generate good media.

No Monster Hunter, no buy.

>but it's not going to sell!!
kek

Then why the 3ds only started selling when it got games? Nintendo makes good games they like deal with it.

>Not seconds

Shit luanch

>for the entire first quarter of 2017
why are you lying

>le low stock meme

Because the handheld market is dying in the US and competes much more heavily with cellphones in Japan. The biggest contributor to the 3DS actually selling was Monster Hunter.

Sonyggers on suicide watch, it's gonna outsell the ps4 in its first year.

>tfw scalped wiius
>got fucked
>decided to not do that for switch
>sold out everywhere and ebay pricing skyrocketing

Did you forget what happened with the nes classic? The orginal Wii? Exact same case.
Nintendo has this down pat.

>i know more about selling consoles than the company that's been doing it for 30+ years

You never cease to make me laugh, Sup Forums!

qft

>they set two million worldwide for the entire first quarter of 2017
They set aside 2 mil for pre-order in the last fiscal month of 2016. And they said there would be more stock allocated if required

>The orginal Wii?
The Wii was sold out for like a year straight, not just at launch.
The demand for the Wii was fucking insane, they could have never seen that coming after the Gamecube

Actually no. Half of Nintendo's income is from the US, one quarter from Yurop and one quarter from Japan.

That might be the reason why Treehouse employees are so nervous with the Trump presidency.

Did you not read how many Switch are they shipping? Protip: more than what sony shipped for PS4.

>That might be the reason why Treehouse employees are so nervous with the Trump presidency.
Why can't newfags from Sup Forums keep the politics on Sup Forums?

Same reason why retards from leddit cant keep the memes on leddit.

>put Link and Zelda Amiibos in basket
>go to checkout
>everything is sold out
Probably just go to a supermarket desu

Still

wii u did not sell out

The WiiU had record preorders

Switch isn't over priced in Japan. They only pay $260.

That's what one of their biggest markets means retard.

Phil Fish is that you?

Not everyone who mentions Trump is from pol. It's a related topic, Nintendo's success in the US relies on the devaluation of the yen and free trade with China.

Nintendo has made like 10 of those fucking things so of course it sells out. This is exactly the same shit we had prior WiiU launch, it is part of their markerting strategy.

What else do they do there? Play with nuclear debris? Rape little girls? All they have is their porn.

Why is that?

>$40 less
>suddenly its a completely fair price
I just spent $40 on shit to make sandwiches with today, its not a lot of money.

>Nintendo has made like 10 of those fucking things
Incorrect, they have made the same as the PS4 had during its launch.

wait a minute, they re not region locked. So why shouldn't I get it from japan. especially if I consider that in my currency I pay 350 USD. The only disadvantage would be, no warranty. Bc it s not worth the hassle.

Nintendo games, MH and DQ.

Retards will buy bad things even if they're bad
It's called being a delusional fanboy
It's why companies like Apple thrive, even though their products aren't anything special

reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/4om863/psvr_pre_order_opened_in_japan_minutes_ago_sold/

Actually ordered 3 million, but 2 million will be there for launch. I assume the extra is for immediate restocking.

>Not everyone who mentions Trump is from pol
There is about a 99% chance that someone bringing up Trump on a board that isn't Sup Forums is some newfag from Sup Forums

The elections brought one of the largest influx of new users that Sup Forums has ever seen, and they all went straight to Sup Forums for the dank Trump maymays
