Con Splatoon han encontrado otra gallina de los huevos de oro. 4 millones en menos de┬áun año para un juego que no tiene pinta de ser un desarrollo AAA es una bestialidad

Es que ha sido un pelotazo, hecho con 4 duros y partiendo de 0 como marca/franquicia.

Si son listos, y tal como apuntaba ayer su productor, seguirán sacando material para apuntalar la franquicia y su salida en NX

Más de un 57% de personas que tienen WiiU tienen Mario Kart 8. Es uno de los ratios más bestiales que he visto en la vida.

3DS después de 5 años no se va a acercar ni a las 5 juegos vendidos por consola. Prácticamente lo mismo que DS y eso que esta apenas ha sufrido la piratería como la sufrió aquella.

3DS XL - 19,59 millones
2DS - 4,67 millones
New 3DS - 1,71 millones
New 3DS XL - 5,80 millones

Lo cual deja a la 3DS normal con unos 26 millones de consolas vendidas. De todas formas con el declive que llevan les va a costar muchísimo llegar a los 70 millones en total, y ya ni hablar de alcanzar la cifra de Game Boy Advance.

Me encanta que el Xenoblade de 3DS siga siendo el único juego retail anunciado en exclusiva para New 3DS, lo que rompe el pronóstico de millones de foreros en todo el mundo.

También me alegra que Nintendo siga dando cifras detalladas de ventas de hardware y que no siga los pasos de Sony y Microsoft en ese sentido.
