The Wii U is off to a slow start in Europe but this will improve in time. Once the big games start coming, so will the sales. This will be close between all 3 and there will be no clear winner in Europe.

In the U.S, I see it being a battle between Wii U & 720. The Wii U will sell slightly better IMO with the 720 in a very close 2nd. Sony is losing presence in the U.S.

 

 

LOL PS4 crushed Wii U sales within hours in Europe and probably passed it in NA by now as well. Should probably post this thread in the dictionary next to the word "fail".

Harsh XD

I thought this was a joke thread until I read the date of the original post! I was like, why is he calling the Xbox the 720? BTW, why did ANYONE ever think that the next Xbox would be called the 720? It makes no sense whatsoever but it is kind of ironic now, eh?

Nice. I remember this thread.

If there was a hall of fame for the worst predictions in VGChartz history, this thread would be in it. Some day, it will be front and centre. Worst. Prediction. Ever.


LOL, that's mean...but true. Horrendous predicition.

This is odd...

I saw the thread title and started to laugh. Once I realized it was my old prediction, I was like "oh"

In all fairness, this prediction was before anything was known about the systems. I've always made crazy stupid predictions before I should because that's what makes them entertaining.

I have learned a lot this year as a person overall and "system wars" are not only completely pointless but dumb as well.

Besides that, I now realize why the Wii sold so well and why Wii U is struggling. I think their own HH market is hurting it.

Anyway, I don't post much anymore but decided to post for all of you wanting to get my take on the thread. Well, here you go :)

At least you were brave enough to make a prediction like this.

At least you realize this and for that you deserve some credit. A handful religious Nintendo fans, 2 of them especially, on this website still belive in this prediction!!!!!!
