Oh, people, just wait a bit. Time will tell ...


Holidays come and pass

"Oh, people, just wait a bit. Time will tell ..."

Smash and Mario kart comes

"Oh, people, just wait a bit. Time will tell ..."

:P

I´m now remembering that PS3 chalkboard, back in 2007 :P

There is a WiiU one but I'd be banned if I posted it lol


Do you remember if posting the PS3 chalkboard got people banned?...I was lurking back then, don´t remember.

You can say what you want, but I stay with that 3 Million! Oh guys, PLEASE.....7M lifetime Wii U sales by the end of this year shouldn't be an impossibility. The line up is clearly stronger than last year. And several bundles will be released.
2 weeks around Christmas -> 1M most likely save (all in all worldwide)
2 weeks around Black Friday -> another 1M save (all in all worldwide)
And then some hundred-thousands gained in the other 8 weeks of this Q + shipments -> also about 1M by rule of thumb...
See what 3DS did in 2011.....several weeks in Dec with over 1M sales worldwide!
So why should it be impossible for Wii U to gain millions of sales during the holidays?


I am with you, I think 10 million is possible. Time will tell, I sure wish I had a time machine to fast forward to the next quarter result.

Sadly It doesn't exist so we will have to wait.

Well you said 7 million was the worst case, 8.5m was a given, and over 10 million was possible.  I agree that 3 million in Nov+Dec is possible, but I don't agree that it is the worst case scenario.

Also the 3DS in Oct 2011 was doing around triple what the Wii U is currently doing.  The 3DS did not do 9+ million in November and December 2011.

Actually, talking shipment numbers, 3 million is a lot more reasonable.  Especially since Nintendo seems to be trying to cram a dozen different bundles onto shelves.

3m is likely, so 7m year end.

Have you even thought about shelf space WW tho??? Why would retailers given more shelf space to WiiU than Xbox One and PS4? They won't, they're not. Wii and Nintendo overall has been relegated to the corner of my local supermarket, it's not getting extra shelf space, they're not going to order in loads of WiiU's.

So even if there were 7 million people that wanted WiiU this holiday, there won't be that many on shelves.



 

Guys, the mods are smart. They don't blindly moderated posts. Here's the Wii U one:

For comparison's sake, here's the PS3 one:



Well the PS3 was saved in the end! There is hope for Wii U. GO WII U!

There was always a market ready and waiting for PS3. It also got a lot of third party support.

Well the Wii U probably has one, I mean Nintendo loyalists at least? I am sure there are a lot of people waiting to play Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash!
