That's a very outlandish and untrue statement. I'm sorry, you're wrong, on all fronts.

No you're wrong on all fronts.

Seriously if you're going to make such a statement, at least give it some substance because you're not omniscient. Lego is a childs toy. Pikmin is an old Nintendo franchise. Not exactly CoD are they? 

I never said that these games were CoD. Dont put words in my mouth.

If you would have done your research then you would've found that Lego games perform quite well sales wise, especially on Nintendo consoles. That game alone could possibly push unit sales of the Wii U.

Now, Pikmin I don't think had ever been a real system seller, but Pikmin 3 seems to be getting quite a lot of hype for an "old Nintendo franchise." 

These two games (plus the others releasing around Q1 and Q2) will push Wii U sales.

a $199 ps3 which is very likely for 2013 would allow the PS3 to consistently outsell Wii U well into the 2nd half of 2013.. the question is whether or not the announcement of a PS4 or next gen playstation would dwindle PS3 sales below those of Wii U's, and would nexgen announcements slow down WII u sales as well.. especially if the next xbox or the next ps end up making WII u look like a last gen machine

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."


Those games don't have a wide audience. The Wii U has failed to keep up with either the xbox or PS3. I can't see the wii u matching sales with it's rivals...ever. Maybe only in the fortnight of a big release but that's it.

The Lego franchise has 30 million selling SKUs.  It has a wider audience than pretty much anything that will be released Q1.  It's a pretty big franchise.

Lego being a child's toy does not make it any lesser of a success than COD. If properly marketed, Lego City Undercover with their toys will help move hardware considerably.

Furthermore, back in 2007 the Sony PS2 was outselling the PS3 by 4 to 1 so your argument in regards to ''Wii U has failed to keep up with either the xbox or PS3'' only personifies your ignorance towards gaming cycles.

My point was never sales was it though? It was to do with attracting a wide audience. Lego games do not have a wide audience. The fact that they sell well on a casual console backs this up. 

It's amazing how you claim to be prophetic and know that these games WILL push Wii U sales. While you're at it, can you tell me next weeks lottery numbers?

If we're making predictions mine is that neither game will boost sales. Maybe Pikmin temporarily in Japan and maybe the US, but that's it. If NSMBU hasn't helped the console sell more then the 360 or the PS3, what are these lesser titles really going to do?



AlphaCielago on 05 January 2013

I think that during the first half this year, the PS3 will outsell Wii U by 40-50%. I expect Pikmin sell some systems, since as someone else said, there are people waiting for this game or people are waiting for some Nintendo published game. Lego City might also help.

Essentially he's saying that all of the exclusives Sony has next year will not hurt the competition at all. They merely just appear out of thin air and no one will notice. *Poof* No one cares about GOW and Last of Us, they mean nothing. 

P.S.

All hail Pikmin...great destroyer of PS3 sales.

R.I.P PS3 sales 2013.

After Pikmin destroys all of the PS3 exclusives Gears of War is next. :)
