Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii U Can Still Outsell Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4

No, just... No. I seriously doubt it. I hope Nintendo learns from this and come back swinging next gen.


what people are forgeting is that the PS4 and xbox720 can very much be in the same situation as the WiiU. just like the 3DS nintendo can turn things around. a price cut happening at the same time as some big tittles releasing can make sales increase by a really good amount. the thing is, people are assuming (much like they did with the WiiU) that the next gen consoles from sony and ms will have a great start. there are many many factors that will detrmine the sales of both consoles and we really cant say now who will win the generation. 

though if i have to predict now, i would say the WiiU will come in last, not because of what the PS4 and 720 would be like. but because of nintendo's own shortcomings with the WiiU



Around the Network

3DS is doing quite well actually. I think people need to give Vita and Wii U a little more time.

PS4 is making a lot of really smart decisions from what I've seen, and I think it will actually do quite well it's first year.

As for the Wii U, really, don't kill it yet. This holiday we are for sure getting WW HD, probably 3D mario or Mario Kart (perhaps both) and it will have W101, Bayo2, and Pikmin 3 in it's library. It will do fine it's second holiday.

Vita really just needs the games, it doesn't really have a game you can point to that is driving sales. I think it's Backlibrary is great, but it needs 2 or 3 big games that sell the system. (God of War, GT, GTA, etc.) if it gets one of those games along with a price cut, I could see it doing much better.


Next gen is not as glum as everyone says it is. Time will prove this.

...and the Vita can still outsell the 3DS!!

Riduculous. If PS4 had a 20 million gap in it's favor right now, I'd agree with you.



4 months already in the game for Wiiu, for me it has 2 more months to actually make a turn-around. If Nintendo can't do anything to make this happen by then, I have to admit to myself that the WiiU would be considered a flop in my eyes...

Like 3DS to Vita
