Forums - Sales Discussion - How much will Wii U sell lifetime?

So, how much will it sell in it's run?I'm gonna bet 40 millions.

 

I'm gonna have so much fun bookmarking this and using it against users 3-4 years from now.


Above: still the best game of the year.

Around the Network

2 consoles



More than 1 less than 250,000,000



34 million lifetime



Predicting that Second Son (PS4) will outsell Titanfall (XOne) in lifetime sales.  Click here for sales comparison thread.

On a more serious note, I don't really see any next generation console selling less than 50 Million systems unless one of the manufacturers does something moronic (like release a system for $800); and I don't really see any system breaking 125 Million systems sold unless they really capatalize on a long head start.



Around the Network

unless they dramatically change it before release and that will happen when next year's E3 comes around

40m

brand name will help at start (like PS3 but cost stopped it from becoming PS2),likewise Wii U will sell because of brand name but won't be able to hold on because the quality itself is poor.



100 million, Im sure Nintendo will win the next gen like they won this one, I just don't see them beating the 110 million or so that they are gonna get with the Wii.

60 million. There, everyone can serve me crow 5 years from now - but only if they posted their predictions in this thread too.

Would you like your crow toasted or roasted?

It takes what the Wii does and expands on it. Don't see why it wouldn't do well.

I'm going to shoot for 70m on the low-end and 140 on the high. In the middle for my estimation.

50-70 Million

This is of course a silly thing, and yeah... I have a big range. It's just way too early to say without price details, more game details, etc. And the name sucks too. Should have been called SuperWii.
