i will put i'm a dumb donkey under my sig if wii u does 1.1 million  units in december 2013 npd.

 

Sorry to bump this thread again, Vgchartz... I just wanted the above statement preserved.

lol its not gonna happen, preserve it.

The fact that you specified NPD data (as opposed to WW sales), it's certainly possible that it may not. But the beauty of it is that I didn't even have to wager a bet for you to declare it.

logic tells me if wiiu sold 470,000 at launch with mario in december and no supply issue, then its  impossible for it do 1.1 million in december 2013.

i wouldn't count ninty out just yet mate. Mario isn't ninty's only big hit.

outside of wiisports, mario is the only heavy hitter.

yea sure but my point is that ninty has more weapons yet to be released. may not be as big but big enough to boost sales.

if it was selling at a descent  level, i would agree with you, but its selling like a dead system, being outsold by the vita in europe and very close to vita numbers in the us.

That's got to be the best logic I've ever read. 

Seriously, just because it sold 470k at launch doesn't mean it can't sell upwards of that this year.

i know. the Wiiu entered a declining market which is unfortunate. the fact kowenicki predicted this outcome before 2012 yr. end should not go un-noticed.

to be honest i being hopeful, but see no signs of a turn around. the only consoles i have hope for are PS3 and 3ds. and maybe Vita if a price cut comes at E3.

ps4 and 720 coming out it would be lucky to do 400,000 this year, nothing as big as new super mario u is coming out on the wii this year, like i said if it sells 1.1 i will put what i said i would under my sig for a week.

When did you become a fortune teller? How do you know what games Nintendo are putting out this year? Exactly, you don't. You're just going to have to wait and see.

So that means it can sell either 80 - 90M or 20 - 22.5M. Interesting.

again logic, big games are shown at least 1 year before they are released.

That's not always the case. Besides, Mario Kart and WindWaker were teased on Nintendo Direct a few day's ago. Mario Kart is said to be playable at E3. That means there is a possibility of it coming out this year.

Plus, their is Wii Fit U. That should grab a few casuals.
