So ur expecting Wii U to sell a maximum of 1.5m over the next 6 months which includes the holidays, a price cut and some of Nintendos best selling franchises? Seems very unlikey considering its done close to a million in the past 6 months with a huge drought and non holidays.

I think both PS4 and One will pass it eventually but it sure as hell wont be this fiscal year


How much did Nintendo sell so far from January to September thus far?


About 1.25m from Jan-Sep 7th.


Then I'll say yes, if Sony's shipments can keep up as they said they are planning on shipping 5 million before the fiscal year is over. Microsofts will be shipping in 3x less countries so they will have to pick it up in 2014. 

That is the most illogical thing ive ever heard u say. Price cut+new bundles+holidays+Wind Waker HD+DKC Tropical Freeze+Sonic Lost World+Wii Party U+Wii Fit U+Mario & Sonic Olympics+Mario 3D World+Wii Sports Club and possibly Mario Kart/Smash Bros will cause absolutely no boost in hardware sales and Wii U will fail to sell 1.5m in the next 30 weeks.....yup that sounds plausible



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I hope they both do sooner rather than later. I'd say summer of 2014 or holiday 2014 the latest. The sooner they pass the Wii U the better, as Nintendo will be forced to acknowledge the dud Wii U is and react accordingly.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Lmao. 30% think the PS3 will pass the Wii U before Sony expects to have shipped 5 million consoles. Good logic, guys.


I voted on it 3 times for the sole purpose of people like you.

Don't be absurd. WiiU isn't selling less than 1mill over the holidays, that shows a complete lack of prediction skills on your part.

You, sir, are wasting your time.

No problem with that but there should be a limit to what you would deem worthy of typing.

With slow sales for the Wii U and a VERY hyped launch for PS4 and Xbox 1, it seems like the Wii U will be doomed for last. Then again, the market isn't always predictable, so anything can technically happen.

What are your predictions for if/when the PS4 and Xbox 1 will pass the Wii U in sales?

I'll make a list of users and you all can make bets if you want.

PS4 will pass Wii U at:

November 29th, 2013 - osed125 

December 31st, 2013 - sidious164

April 31st, 2014 - Madword

December 31st, 2014 - KingofTrolls

XBOne will pass Wii U at:

November 30th, 2013 - osed125

December 31st, 2013 - sidious164

November 31st, 2014 - Madword

December 31st, 2014 - KingofTrolls

PS4 will never pass Wii U:

XBOne will never pass Wii U:

Neither console will pass Wii U:

Anfebious


To be fair, the PS4 is mostly hyped online and on forums.


Yep.

 

If Vita was as popular or liked as much as on forums it would be selling better than the 3ds but hey not everything revolves around the internet. I wonder when people will realize this..

this thread is going to hilarious come january. PS4 or xbox one is not going to outsell the wii u until next year (if it ever happens in 2014). In my opinion, many people are overestimating the ps4 and one and underestimating the Wii U. It reminds me of the Vita days pre-launch. My guess ps4 will outsell it in June 2014, Xbox one is questionable because of the higher price tag

Vita never had over a million pre-orders. Isn't a Sony home console and no, it isn't just gaming forums. I just heard NPR talking about the highly anticipated launch of the Ps4 thanks to the huge success of GTA5 this last week.
