The Wii U should be able to keep up with the PS3. I'm not going to say sell better because then it won't due to my "luck."


I don't think nintendo has a line up to compete with

GTA 5

Last of us

Beyond 2 souls

Bioshock Infinate

God Of War

Sly Cooper

 

 

I personally don't think the PS3 will double the wiiu's sales, it should do alot better though

man you are fast. I think thye will sell about the same.

Anyways, I think when Nintendo releases its games for 2013, it will warrant people picking up a new Wii U for the exclusives. Not sure we can say the same thing about PS3, (1) because I'm not sure what exclusives it has between now and E3, (2) its good holiday 2012 numbers will not continue (but I assume you can say the same about Wii U).

(not my best arguments above )

Before E3 this year?

Sly

God of War

The Last of Us

I'm sure there's more

Not to mention the huge 3rd party lineup (Bioshock, GTA and all the others)

Yep..I don't think it's a stretch to say first half of next year is the most impressive this whole gen. Especially on the ps3

Um so in almost 6 months, you believe the Wii U will sell less than 1.8 million? :( I don't think so.

Nintendo should sell that amount within year end of their fiscal year, March 31st.

Region wise:

Japan: Minimum of 500k (New Year sales should propel the Wii U to 100k next week)

North America: Minimum of 750k

Europe: Minimum of 400k

Rest of the World: 250k

I think maybe you are a bit biased :p

I think sales in Europe are going to almost completely tank unless Nintendo do something there soon. NA sales won't be pretty either but Japan sales should at least be good.

NA will be fine imo. Lego will probably move some hardware and Pikmin 3 is in the horizon, Japan have DQX so it should also be fine. Europe is the biggest problem.

Those games should sell well but I'm not sure if they'll be system sellers. Or if they will be, it won't be huge jumps in sales.

Lego? I think the game looks cool but is it a hardware mover?

OT: I don't think it will double man. It will do better tho. I already read atleast 3 new retailer specific offers for Wiiu in the EU region. I think those promotions will help keep the sales going until E3

I believe this. I think Wii U's pretty dead in Europe for one.

I personally think so, Lego games are very popular and a GTA Lego game is like a wet dream for some parents, I mean being able to play a sandbox game where you can't meet hookers and kill people on the street is something a lot of parents will want for their kids. I personally know two parents who think this, but obviously this doesn't reflect the entire market.

No!....sigh you may be right. I don't see any strong piece of software that can push a lot of WiiU's...

I'm gonna go with 2m just to be safe.

When is Pikmin going to come out? It has been delayed and delayed. Even if it does come out, is it even a system seller? It doesn't look like a game that sells a lot.

Q2 I believe. The first two games weren't all that popular but the game gotten a lot of fanbase in recent years, similar to Luigi's Mansion which was also "hated" when it came out as a GC launch tittle. I don't expect a 10m game seller or anything but still very good numbers.

I see. Well I guess time will tell. The game does look like a lot of fun for sure
