Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has provided his NPD hardware estimates for the month of April 2013.

Based on retail checks, Pachter tells CNET that Wii U sales are down to 55,000 units – a 19 percent decrease compared to March. Pachter also says that Wii sales stand at 75,000 units.

Other NPD estimates include 205,000 units for the Xbox 360, 185,000 units for the 3DS (up 46 percent year-over-year), 165,000 units for the PlayStation 3, and 30,000 units for the PlayStation Vita (down 57 percent year-over-year).

We’ll know if Pachter’s estimates were correct when the NPD report goes live this Thursday.

Federal Circuit Cout Vindicates Nintendo in ITC Patent Dispute

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments

Nintendo Did Not Infringe Motiva’s Patents
REDMOND, Wash., May 13, 2013 – The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld Nintendo’s victory in a patent infringement case brought by Motiva, LLC against Nintendo at the International Trade Commission. The Court of Appeals agreed with the ITC that Motiva had failed to satisfy the agency’s domestic industry requirement. The ITC had also ruled that Nintendo did not infringe Motiva’s patents.
“We are very pleased with this result. The court confirmed that Motiva’s sole activity, litigation against Nintendo, did not satisfy the ITC’s domestic industry requirement,” said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel. “Nintendo has a passionate tradition of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent.”

WWE 2K14 starting to look less likely for Nintendo consoles

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

As many of you know, Take-Two Interactive secured the WWE licence from THQ a couple of months back. The company has been far from a big Wii U supporter having put out just one title for the console – NBA 2K13 – through its 2K Sports subsidiary. Although we’ve seen WWE titles on Nintendo platforms since the launch of SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, it would appear that there are no plans to bring the latest entry, WWE 2K14, to the Wii U and Wii. If anything, a release on Nintendo platforms is certainly looking unlikely at the moment.

Take-Two’s latest financial results make no mention of WWE 2K14 for any Nintendo system – only the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are listed. Retailers such as Amazon also make no mention of a Wii U/Wii version.

Take-Two/2K Sports haven’t made any announcements, so we won’t know for sure until something official is shared. Still, this is worrisome at the moment.
