A 60k or so baseline is about N64 numbers, so I don't think it's a stretch to say that the Wii U could end up with around 40 million in its lifetime just with the games that are already announced. If they drop some more great games in the coming years I wouldn't be shocked if in the end it ends up with NES / SNES type numbers, which IMO would make the Wii U a pretty solid success, especially after the rough start. Those PS4 numbers are amazing too because they are bucking the trend of video game history. Sony sold 48k consoles in the U.S., yet only had 100k in software sales, and only had 3 games sell atleast 10k copies. They are selling a whole ton of consoles with pretty much no software, pretty much exactly how the N64 was back in the day. It will be interesting to see though if it follows the N64 trend of huge 1st year sales and then a big dropoff or it keeps up the momentum. Hard to tell right now. |
62 million like Nes is impossible.
50 million like NSES is possible, but IMHO is the best scenario, and is much hard...
I agree, my predition is 40 million.
