UK games retail has worst month in history, top 10 software sales for July
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
The UK games retailer market has experienced its worst month ever, according to a new MCV report.
July sales were down 40.4 percent from June, with boxed game sales coming in at just over a million. That’s a 33.3 decrease year-over-year. Stores took in just £23m through game sales last month.
New software was an issue, as were other factors such as the warm weather (and people choosing to stay outside) as well as the wait for more new consoles. Nintendo did say, however, that it was pleased with 3DS sales in July.
Here’s the full top ten game sales for the month of July 2013:
1: The Last of Us (Sony)
2: Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (Microsoft)
3. Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Nintendo)
4. FIFA 13 (EA)
5. Far Cry 3 (Ubisoft)
6. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros (Nintendo)
7. Tomb Raider (Square Enix)
8. Assassin’s Creed III (Ubisoft)
9. Call of Duty: Black Ops II (Activision)
10. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Legendary (Bethesda)

Another secret memo discovered for Pikmin 3?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
After poking around the Pikmin 3 website, a sixth secret memo for the game appears to have been discovered. We won’t spoil the whole thing for you, though there’s not much to spoil. We will say that it features a different hero – not Olimar.
You can find the short video after the break.
Iwata says software, not price, is Wii U’s issue
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Much has been made of the Wii U’s price. Some have said that the console is simply too expensive, especially when compared to other upcoming systems such as the PlayStation 4.
But Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, speaking with CVG, said that the Wii U’s price is not the problem. Rather, the dearth of exciting titles is the root of the problem, “and the only solution is to provide the mass-market with a number of quality software titles.”
Iwata said:
“If the price is actually an issue [with Wii U], then there is some contradiction between the current sales balance between the Basic and Premium versions of the Wii U. The basic version should have sold a lot, but the fact of the matter is that people are buying more of the premium version. So the issue is not there.”
“I understand that the real issue is the lack of software, and the only solution is to provide the mass-market with a number of quality software titles.”
