Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii U will outsell PS4 or 720 by 40 million units. Prove me wrong.

I love these threads. Such bold and insightful predictions.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Ouch, waaay off base :P gonna be a 60m+ gap in PS4 favour!

Indeed. Truly this was not my best prediction I've ever made. 

Unfortunately (as I'm sure you'd agree with) it's also not my worse.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

The biggest loser this time around will definitely be Nintendo, they have positioned themselves in such a place that there is very little likelihood of being rescued by 3rd parties... it's like this year feels like the last two or three years of the wii.

To be honest I had big fears about Nintendo way before September 2012, it was pretty obvious they had made some massive marketing/model mistakes, so it is quite funny some of the original predictions :)


thats pretty dark

Nintendo will win Japan. No doubt. No question. They will have the best Jrpg because of the gamepad. The only reason the ps3 did decent was because they had JRPG that wii couldn't handle. I doubt we see JRPg in japan costing more than 8 million to produce with the market they have currently. Plus with 3ds being able to to work with the console in some way that will only help.

Europe. Europe is going crazy over the 3ds. Week or two ago 3ds out sold vita 7-1. Europe has become NINTENDOLAND. Plus with Fiffa coming to WII-U now they will only dominate Europe. Plus with the Wi-U gamepad your able to play the game with just TOUCHSCREEN basically. This will as EA said up the casual market up for Wii-U and Football game(soccer in America). Plus Nintendo is smart and makes europe games like London games which is good seller in Europe. Nintendo loves Europe and Europe loves Nintendo. Plus look at the launch titles ZombiU which will get a good buy in UK no doubt. Uk will love a game FINALLY based in London. Rayman is Europe title and is loved there.

America. Well that one is the odd ball you never know with them. But if they make Wii-U games like Game & and Wario were you only use the touchscreen the Wii-U will do great. Nintendo is king in local play with was a huge selling point in Mario bros Wii and Wii-U. Family Play. Mario BrosU is a big casual seller over time. If they bundle it which I personally think it's to good for but if they did it's over. Iwata would drop the bomb if he did this. The internet is irrelevant compared to the THE POWER OF MARIO.

Uncharted 3 < Mario Galaxy sales
4.4 - 10.6 million.

Sony showed this gen that people only bought the PlayStation 1/2 because of DVD/AUDIO player. And the fact that it was THE ONLY Third Party system. Xbox took over like a beast once PS3 lost it's third party power.

Next Gen.

Wii-U Number One

Xbox 1080 Number Two

Ps4 Number 3

Ps4 only sold closer to Xox because of Bluray which people instead of gaming. Look at sales to system compared to xbox360.

Ps3 was a joke this gen and lost it's identity.

People don't tell me about BUT THE EXCLUSIVES.

Look how many failed. Barely sell in comparison to Wii and Xbox360.

Wii-U if being sold at 300 dollars will do better because it's cheaper.









Funniest post of this thread. Not surprised when you've seen other comments of this poster.



...and people are going to suddenly start buying the Wii U en masse...why?

There were a ton a people thinking wii u would win by a huge margin... oh, that was an amazing read.



Replace "PS4 or 720" with "Ouya or Shield" and it can even have a chance, not that big, but a chance.

"Its simple" says the OP. Nothing is ever that simple.

The gift of hindsight truly is just that, a gift.


Love that pic of Yuga, did you do that on your own?
