No chance it will happen by the end of next year, but maybe at some point in 2015.

wrong as usual. the wii is far more recent than gamecube and shows the current state of nintendo franchises.. it may not be 100%, but has relevancy to the subject.

Then why is WiiU and WiiU Software on par with Gamecube and nowhere near Wii?

GAMES.

Uh huh, what games did Wii have in its first year? It had Wii Sports which showed off the motion control, WiiU had Nintendoland to show off the gamepad, nobody was interested.

What else?


You should have learned by now that trying to argue with zero is like trying to make selnor bash forza.

now I get it, Wii U has more than 4 millions sold, but I think releasing it 1 year before the PS4 and X1 was a good strategy, people should familiarize qith the wii u through time and even the other consoles reached 1 million doesnt mean Wii U will go down, it's still on top but only need a good strategy to avoid falling.

The lack of a yes option in the poll really shows your true agenda...


There was a "yes" option, people, it was with a reasonable price cut to $199 considering the fact that it's only 1 / 8 th as powerful as a console that sells for only $100 more than its current price of $299 and some games.

And why is the Ps4 and X1 selling more like the ps2 and not the ps360?

they're out for a whole 2 weeks. but of course you will use launch numbers as a parameter.

keep saying that.

you gotta lay of wii u toastboy,

OT anything is possible, but I think some people are putting way too much faith into the upcoming games.
Mario Kart will give it some boost, Smash isnt going to do much considering their will be a 3ds version that will kill some sales and prevent people from even buying the WIi U. dont know why people keep saying x and bayonetta as their is no confirmation that either will be released next year. Stiff competition from PS3/4 both xboxs etc.

Looking at Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros and maybe (but unlikely imo) Zelda, it could easily reach that mark, but needs some marketing efforts...

I believe releasing the 2 biggest games, along with the already released Marios, it would be no problem, remember that last year was something else entirely with no games at all to attract gamers (not enough at least).
