We have no information about the needed resources for these games especially on 3D Worlds case, there is no indication that it will need less, while on the other hand it´s known that 3Dland is by far the most successful 3D Mario game in Japan.

Do you honestly think a 3d Mario game like Galaxy for the Wii U and a full Metroid game would not cost a lot more in time and resources to make than a 3ds port and a 2d DK game?



I'm gonna change my predictions due to changes of current likelihood:

PS Vita (2D Handheld) = 25 million

Wii U = 120 million (max asymetrical gaming + 3D capable on pre-install firmware via custom made GPU)

 

Plus there's also the current outlook of Software which I mostly basing the sales on. But I base the software being and not being made, on what the systems can do.



Vita 30mil.

Wii U 80 Mil.

It seems you aren´t well informed. Both titles are new entries and no ports. And DKC TF is beeing made for two reasons, 1. Retro wanted to do it 2. DKCR on Wii sold almost more than all three Metroid Prime games combined.

I did not say DK was a port but that Mario 3D Land was essentially a 3ds port

Retro makes the games Nintendo tells it to make- I doubt they would have made DK if they had the ok from Nintendo Japan to make whatever game they wanted to make for the Wii U- We had DK Country returns on the Wi u, then DK Country returns on the 3DS now another DK 2d platform game? I m sure it will be a great game but hardly fresh and exciting

I am sure 3D Land will be a great game as will Donkey Kong- Most everyone that has a Wii U will buy both and some people will buy a Wii u to play these games along w others- but they do not represent a "fresh and exciting"" lineup for the Wii U. The Wii U does not even have 1 game that gives it an identity much less several games that do so. I think Wind Waker is generating more excitement than any games they have released to date and possibly more than 3d Land and DK. When your most exciting game is a 10 year old remake- it says something about your lineup. If they were releasing a Mario Galaxy type game, a new Zelda and a Metroid, the Wii U would be generating a lot of excitement- but as it is, they seem to be focusing on platformers and good but a little stale content- But developing the more exciting lineup takes more time and resources- I feel sure that is why they did not product the type of lineup this holiday that so many were hoping for

Reading old comments are always fun. I think that time people got the first wave of wii u bad news. No one will predict for 40+ million numbers for wii u at the moment.



Wii U - 15-17m
Vita - 10 - 15m

I was so optimistic for these two devices a year ago
