Playstation 3 which was $599 for the first half of it's launch year reached 8 million by the time a year hit after it launched in the U.S, and was well over 10 million it's first year in total on the market..

PS3's first year was considered a failure, and brought stories of sony dropping the console altogether early

Shush, that never happened.

Was this supposed to be some type of history lesson. We've all heard this by now...

I've said for a while that the Wii U will have an installed userbase over 10m at the end of the year. We've already seen sales numbers pick up just with the releases of Need For Speed Most Wanted, Monster Hunter 3G Ultimate and Lego City Undercover, once the likes of The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Wii Fit U, Game & Wario, Wind Waker HD, 3D Mario, Mario Kart 8 and whatever Megatons that Nintendo are going to announce at E3 have been released I can easily see the Wii U having an installed userbase over 10m before the end of the year.

We talked about this. You expect Wii U to start selling 105k a week starting now through October. If you turn out to be correct it won't be because you were right though.



And like I said at the time, the Wii U selling 3m between now and mid-November is very doable, as is selling 4m+ from November to the end of the year. And that's before you take into consideration a likely price cut between now and the end of the year.

I guess we'll have to wait and see...



Well ZombiU sold me the system back at launch not nsmbu, I was put off by the fact also nsmbu didn't support the controller pro, plus I new there would be top Nintendo games down the line.



 

I live the negativity of certain "fans" against "other systems". Regardless of all the shit thrown around about the WiiU, it is (IMHO, of course) a brilliant console that whether or not sets the world on fire will be very dearly remembered a la Gameube and will provide years of gaming heaven to many. I'm happy for "certain folks" to talk doom although I just sit and read and think why?

Although if people didnt talk DOOM! Every five threads this site wouldn't be half as interesting!

really? so it's not going to be 30mil by years end?



NINTENDO

nintendo forever . . .

Added table to see how much more needs to be sold for me to be correct. 5.3m left to go for my prediction to be correct on the low end.




       

Update: WiiU reaches 3m.




       

I thought it was already slightly over 3 million

What was your prediction again? Maybe you edited the thread title or OP because it's hard to see exactly what it was


8m low prediction, 11m high prediction.  I'll figure out how to edit that in so it is easier to see.  Thankz Pezus.
