The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
In the past few days, Nintendo has been sharing some gameplay clips for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Here’s the latest two, showcasing the Woodcutter’s House, and the Magnesis ability:
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U / NX) comes out next year, worldwide.
Mario Party: Star Rush
Thanks to MarioFans.de, we have what seems to be the final European boxart for Mario Party: Star Rush:
Mario Party: Star Rush (3DS) comes out on October 7th in Europe, and November 4th in North America.
Wii U Sales in Germany
In an article published yesterday, Börse-Online gives some data about total console sales for Germany. Quite surprisingly, the Wii U is still ahead of the Xbox One, despite selling rather poorly (it hasn’t even reached 1 million units in almost 4 years)… which shows just how poorly Microsoft’s console has been selling so far.
Here’s the total console sales for Germany:
- [PS4] 3,250,000 (3.2m according to the article, but a bit difference from the graph)
- [WIU] 750,000
- [XB1] 710,000
And here’s total console sales for Germany for 2016:
- [PS4] 460,000
- [XB1] 105,000
- [WIU] 60,000 (estimate)
Thanks Ryng_Tolu for the heads up.
