What is /lounge/'s opinion on the Wii U flop.
The Wii U flop is selling less weekly than the lowest weekly sales of PS3/Xbox 360.
What a flop.

The fact that the Wii u is outselling both the xbox360 and Playstation 3 in both there launch windows, must mean they both flop and where out sold by the Wii as well.
A console that needs replacing five times because of RROD and three redesigns.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 (and Wii) were severely supply-constrained for many months after they were released. If you walked into any game store 2 weeks after the Wii U's launch, you could see mountains of Wii U boxes, stacked like Jews in a Polish death camp. Conclusion: it's a flop.
Xbox 360: 1.09Million 6 weeks on sale
Playstation 3: 0.89 6 weeks on sale Wii U: 3.09Million 6 weeks on sale
Wii: 4.31Million 6 weeks on sale

Can't you fucking read? PS3 and 360 were sold out in every store for months. People were still selling and buying $800 PS3's on ebay months after the release because stores received so few consoles. The initial shipment of Wii U was much larger than PS3/360, but Wii U sales are much lower than the consoles shipped by Nintendo. And now their weekly sales have almost dropped to PSVita levels.

Forgot to mention the Wii, the Wii had a very large initial shipment, but it was crazy popular and also suffered from supply problems for a while. If Nintendo had shipped 6 million Wiis in the first 6 weeks, they would have sold 6 million fucking Wiis in that month.
Sales will pick up once GODonetta 2 and GOD 101 and GODmin are out. phony and micro$uck don't have any exclusives that even come close to these GODLY games.

>The price of the Wii U is being slashed by UK retailers, according to MCVUK. HMV is selling the Wii U Premium bundle that includes NintendoLand and ZombiU for £199.99. This is £140 off the recommended retail price. GameStop is selling the same bundle at £244.97.
>"We have taken the decision to reduce the price of the Basic Wii U to test the market and assess the impact of a price change for a short period of time," said ShopTo purchasing director James Rowson. "This has resulted in a smaller than desired increase in sales at this stage."
It's not selling even with a price drop. What a flop.
>>21 HMV is bankrupt and selling off stock in its stores that why the Wii u is £199 and PS3 £99 and 360 £80, check your facts first!

More bad news for the Wii U. UK retailers are doing a second price cut, now down to £149.99 because the Wii U is such a big flop and they want to get rid of their inventories and prepare for the arrival of real next-gen consoles.
Ea also it announced it would not release a Madden game for the Wii U this year, which hasn't happened to a console since the Dreamcast flop.
Nintendo is now also begging Wii users to buy a Wii U, they sent a message to every Wii owner asking them to buy a Wii U.
Conclusion: Wii U is the flop of the century.
