I just have to ask; are you serious? Do you actually believe this will happen? In my opinion, it's gonna have to fight to get over 6 million by year's end. Also, for the record, the 360 was at nearly 6 million after one full year on the market and over 8.1 million after its second holiday season, the Wii U is tracking about 2 million behind at this point. The PS3 was over 6 million after one full year and at around 9.5 million after the second holiday season, tracking way above. Both the 360 and the PS3 had fairly slow starts and the PS3 had a ludicrous price tag and a staggered launch and both HD consoles had shit software for quite some time do drive the sales. In all honesty, you and a lot other users in here need to get your head out of the sky and look at the cold, hard facts at hand. I think at this point, this whole argument of the OP boils down to semantics; what is your definition of doomed? Edit; I need to correct my numbers, the Wii U actually need in excess of 580k weekly average from now to cross 8 million by year's end, that's 15-20k above its best week ever, on average, for the rest of the year. Please let that simmer for a while. |
Yes, I do believe what I'm saying. It's done 4m so far and with the launch of Super Mario 3D World in time for Christmas the Wii U should sell 4m between now and the end of the year. If my guesstimate is out it won't be out by much, just wait and see.
