    May NPD is in. For anyone who doesn't know i gives console sales for the month in North America.

    The Wii U sold 60k for the month. Not good at all considering the advertising and hype for mario Kart. It was only out for about 3 days of the month but the hardware sales would be top heavy. Hopefully most didn't get it till the start of June and that along with some E3 hype gives them a decent June.

    If June doesn't improve it is lights out for the Wii U. Another GC but fortunately that doesn't stop it's owners having a good time.

    The game came out on May 30th, so all of two days. I feel the June figure will be more telling.

    So, What you're saying is, these figures are meaningless and we'll wait for the June figures.

    Though, yes, WiiU owners are, in general, having a pretty damn good time.

    I did chuckle at the fact that FIFA 15 is not getting a Wii U version... but the Wii is :pac: (albeit one of the ridiculous 'legacy editions' that EA have invented to cheekily minimise costs)

    I remember reading not so long ago EA used Fifa 11 or 13 and just used it for the wii version of Fifa 14

    They came out and defended themselves by saying Fifa 11 or 13 is a great game :L

    The WiiU not getting a Fifa update is of zero consequence to me, the lack of Need for Speed updates and future Burnout titles is more affecting.

    Not having the latest Fifa's on the console you're the trying to market is surely to it's detriment, no? Maybe of EA don't financially need to bother with Fifa on the Wii U, those maths work the other way too, I dunno, I just thought Fifa was a huge game for every system.

    I'd like a decent football game, Was never a big fan of the FIFA series anyway, but isn't FIFA 13 and FIFA 14 the same game just with updated transfers and players?
    All EA ever seem to do is bring out a new version of their last game. That can't be that hard to eclipse with a bit of dedication?
    I might buy FIFA 13 and see how long I can update it with new players and transfers :)

    Project CARS must be due out soon? I've been hearing about it for so long now that I can't wait to get it.

    On a separate note, Bayonetta 2 in Japan, comes with Bayonetta 1 on a separate disc... and I just got a flyer in the door titled "3 things God cannot do"... :D

    It has to be a sign..

    Japan gets Bayonetta 1 on a Separate disc with Bayonetta 2 Purchase

    Yeah, I use it on the Arcade and Retro forum all the time.

    You see, we get more gaming awesomeness there than any of the other gaming forums, fact.

    But, please, don't all rush there at once, we only have room for those that deserve it.

    Oddly,the two games forum mods are on there, don't know who let them in but they are in for a slap whoever they are! ;)

    I have Chu Chu on the DC and GBA, it is an addictive one alright.
    Although, at the time, I was more into MSR on the DC than anything else, man that was an awesome awesome game.

    I remember being excited at the first console to connect to the internet.

    After I downloaded Chu Chu rocket it only took me about 12 hours to use the web browser for porn.
