– 268 million consoles, 385 million handhelds
– 2.195 billion units of software sold on home consoles
– 1.907 billion units of software for handhelds
– Software numbers include download software and bundled software

To put things in perspective: That works out to nearly 60,000 units of hardware sold every day on average, and nearly 375,000 units of software sold per day on average. The average software tie ratio? 6 games per unit of hardware.

That’s a lot of merchandise. Wowza.

Bethesda once again says its games aren’t planned for Wii U, “largely a hardware thing”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments

People continue to ask Bethesda about potential support for Wii U, but the answer doesn’t change. It’s the same as it always has been: the console just isn’t in the publisher’s plans.

Once again, Bethesda’s current slate – The Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and The Evil Within aren’t coming to Wii U.

Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines explained to Joystiq that the lack of support is “largely a hardware thing.” As far as whether the company will bring titles to Wii U in the future, Hines said: “I can’t say for sure, in our near-term focus it’s not on our radar.”

“None of the game’s we’ve announced are being developed for the Wii U, so it’s guaranteed that none of those games are coming to Wii U. Will any future ones come out? I can’t say for sure, in our near-term focus it’s not on our radar.”
“It’s largely a hardware thing. (Bethesda’s mantra is to) make the games that we want to make, on whatever platforms will support them as developed.”

Hines added that “it remains to be seen what the future holds.”
