WTF did I walk into in this thread lol.

i drove past a school that was singing a song about "UNITY" yesterday, i was reminded of this thread.

Find it interesting there are no WiiU titles in top 40, if the price cut was working they would be showing up.

That is indeed surprising.  Assassin's Creed IV wasn't released yet in the EU for WiiU so it's to be expected that you don't see that on the individual formats but Batman Arkham Origins was and you don't see it even in the top 40.  Do the UK charts not give hardware numbers just software?

I wish, they won't even give yearly or LTD figures in terms of hardware.

Well, actually Batman Arkham Origins also got delayed in Europe. It won't be released not until Nov 8th just like AC IV won't be until Nov 22th.

BTW, what I actually wanted to post:
Wii Mini also confirmed for North America 
http://www.vg247.com/2013/11/04/wii-mini-confirmed-for-north-america-release-mid-november/

99 $, that's a pretty good deal...Wii will outsell PS1 confirmed :P

It won't do a thing, didn't in the UK and Canada. Wii has been that price for ages.

Wayne, it will outsell PS1 anyway...expect Wii mini to be out for at least 1-2 years, so the Wii is still far away from utterly discontinued... And the Wii mini is out in major parts of Europa (definitely Germany, too) since this march... I think everything that has to do with the old Wii will be discontinued in 2015 at the earliest...They're still releasing some Nintendo Select Titles for it!
By 2015 the Wii will be at about 105M LTD.

Anyone following the figures will tell you no, it won't be selling in 2 years.

Nintendo will ship 1.5m this FY which ends in March, and they've been dropping well over 50% yoy. The console is virtually dead in Europe, and discontinued in Japan, it's also failed to become a success in developing countries.

Wii Isn't getting anywhere near 103m LTD, let alone 105. and will be discontinued during 2014.

Well, I suggest you to watch this upcoming Holiday season...101.25M by this year's end at the least...it's now at about 100.1M, but expect another roughly million sold Wii's during Q4 - thanks to Black Friday and Christmas....should do that numbers easily...
Isn't getting anywhere near 103M?! Are you sure? From Q1 to Q3 2013 it sold about 1.25M...I guess it will sell in the whole 2014 about another 1.5M (this time Christmas + Black Friday included)...so 101.25M + 1.5M = 102.75M...the PS1 sold about 102.49M...Well, Wii will catch that numbers during the Holidays of 2014 easily...

So here are my predictions a bit more in detail:
By the end of 2013: 101.25M
Q1 2014: 101.45M
Q2 2014: 101.6M
Q3 2014: 101.85M
Q4 2014: 102.75M (BLACK FRIDAY + CHRISTMAS)

should be pretty possible imo ...
It WILL be still available in the whole year of 2014! Think of the Nintendo Selects Series and Wii Mini JUST came out, in NA this month! They may discontinue the normal Wii also in NA in 2014...but the Wii Mini will last until 2015...I think everything will be discontinued sometime in 2015...

Predition for 2015 sales: about 300k-400k which means that Wii's Lifetime Sales will be between 103.05M and 103.15M =)

And by the way: NEW weekly hardware sale numbers (Oct. 26th)!
Wii U still over 60k! But next week the bundles and price-cuts of Japan are included....and then the month november already started so sales will start to increase in general. Maybe 90k-100k WiiU's on week ending Nov. 2nd?

Also, 3DS is a blast...OVER 350K and smashing the PS360 HANDILY!

Edit: Just checked it up: Last year (2012) the Wii still had worldwide sales of about 1 million in December alone (so without Black Friday), lol

About 1 million in total Q4 2013 should be no problem ...
