Oh wow. It looks like Nintendo is doing so poorly. They should probably sell to another company.*

It shows how bad the WiiU failed when its software numbers are lower than the hardware numbers for the Switch.

You mean the other way round? Wii U hardware being lower than Switch software

Switch:

  • Hardware:139.36million units
  • Software:1,200.10million units

Wii U:

  • Hardware:13.56million units
  • Software:103.60million units

I think he means this. Total WiiU software sale is less than total Switch sale. Edit: formatting fix.

BowserBasher@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Yep this is what I meant. There’s always going to be more software sales that hardware. So to see that WiiU didn’t even sell more software than Switch sold hardware, that’s pretty bad.

No, they said it right. Follow the link to article, WiiU only had 100million software sales.

Mario Kart 8 is fire. I love it

suction@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

we don't say sth "is fire" anymore.

I wonder since the switch is a hybrid console, shouldn't it be compared to the total of the Wii + DS consoles

slimerancher@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It's still one console, no matter how many ways it can be used.

mlg@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Yeah but since Nintendo only makes one line of consoles now, it would make sense to add both as a comparison.

Because we no longer have a low powered handheld line, so the userbase merged.
