Forums - Gaming Discussion - My Prediction: in 2K16 a lot of people are going to sell their Xbox ONEs & PS4s to buy a Wii U.

Multiple reasons why this won't happen.

1) 3DS vs Vita is completely different. WiiU is essentially Vita. A system with very limited to no support and its value to price ratio is very bad. Both need to be far less expensive to garner a decent level of consumer appeal and that will not happen as the companies don't want to lose more money.

2) In 2016 Nintendo will have a clear strategy of replacing Wii U. 2015 will hint at it and 2016 will finalize it.


No offense, but weren't you just in another thread you started, aruging that Wii U actually did have a high value to price ratio?

Also, I'm sorry to keep having to say this in various threads....but no, I really do not believe Nintendo's next system will be out in 2016. That would pretty much be suicide for them, or at the very least moronic shortsighted madness. It takes time to even design and develop a console, let alone time to develop all new games for it. If they don't want to run into the same kind of "dry spell" issue they had with Wii U, then they'd be highly advised NOT to bring out a new system just two years from now. They would have to either drop Wii U development and have not enough of even their own games for it while people wait for the new system, or they'd have to keep up Wii U development, thereby not having enough resources dedicated to their next console's software, and thus they would have another drought, another piss-poor post-launch period, etc. Their best course of action would be, I would think, to take their time developing the next system, and to in the meantime get as many quality titles on Wii U as they can, to stick with the system and not "pull a Sega", thereby getting the most that they can out of what is, bottom line, a very good console that landed in an unfortunate situation (a situation, I must point out, that still has every chance of turning around).

In no way does it really make much practical or financial sense for Nintendo to come out with a new home console any sooner than 2017.

Don't forget that the Wii U is 100% guaranteed to have better lifetime sells then the Xbox ONE & PS Vita. And that the Wii U is selling more then Vita almost every week, which means EA will have to either start supporting Wii U or NOT support PS Vita.


100% guaranteed? Again I have to ask where do u come up with this shit? 

Xbox One has outsold Wii U every single week since it released.

At the end of 2012 Vita had a 1.9 million lead on Wii U, Vita currently has a 1.9 million lead over Wii U. In 14 months the gap has not changed.

This is why most people cant stand u, almost everything u say is a lie.

PS4 has better 3rd party support, indie support, and 1st party studios that rival Nintendo. This alone cuts down your prediction. WiiU makes a good side console, but it won't make a comeback to rival Playstation during the course of this generation.

The Wii U will in all likelihood go down in history as another Game Cube in terms of market impact and percentage.


Will it even do that well?

 

Lets see GC finishecd up around 22m, Wii U is at just <6m and losing steam fast...with now XBO and PS4 upon it.

Final sales will be almost entirely dependent upon Nintendo's core market for their own IPs.

The reason why sales are trending at an all time low is because of the entry of of the PS4 and the XB1, paired with the fact that Nintendo really hasn't offered anything to offset this (which would have failed) in terms of their main IPs other than Donkey Kong, which frankly, couldn't have realistically been expected to sell many consoles. 

I won't go so far as to say MK or SSB will "save" the Wii U, but those, along with other major Nintendo IPs (Zelda, Metroid) will result in a catalog that most who have an interest in Nintendo games will eventually pick one up. 

It's really just a question of how large the market is for a full catalog of Nintendo games on what may be a $199 console by the time the catalog fills out completely. There are more casual Nintendo fans than core fans.
