Eeh, this too shall pass. For a while the first Wii sold very slowly. The gaming masses weren't sure they wanted this little box that just did.. What? What does it even do? But as more new and original games came out people started buying it. The same will happen with the Wii U. This isn't a device for early adopters. It's a device for people who sometimes play Wii Bowling.

What? No seriously what?

Same sentiment. When the Wii came out, it sold incredibly well to the point where many stores ran out on launch day. For almost a whole year it became incredibly hard for people to find a Wii due to the sales, to the point where some just bought Wii's so that they could sell them online for a higher price.

On launch day they sold out in some places, yeah, but I seem to remember hearing that in its first quarter Nintendo was disappointed with its sales. Not that it was super bad, just that it was slower than they expected. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I remember it going.

I do wonder what's gonna happen to the already rebooted DMC.

So, because these games sold only 1-4 million copies, it means the games failed? What the fuck, Capcom? What the actual fuck?

Nintendo's revenue is 647.6 billion yen. They own the rights to Mario and Pokemon which they make billions off of merchandise alone.

Once Smash 4 is announced for the Wii U the sales are going to skyrocket. Not to mention Pokemon x & Y which will make them so much money and increase the sales of 3DS.

I still think it would have been smarter of them to release Black&White II on the 3DS when it came out. Well, at least more people had a chance to play the game since more people owned DS's.

Honestly, I hope these movies get bogged down with set back after set back, and never see the light of day. I hate seeing a movie ruin the story of a good game. I mean, when has a movie based on a video game ever payed full respect to its source material or kept the story from the game intact? Never. It either ends up too far away from the source material as to be unrecognizable (RE movies, Super Mario movie), or it stays close to the source material but doesn't treat the game's story with the proper respect (Advent Children, Bloodrayne).
