Nope. SSB and Zelda U will also help wii u. And nintendo might have some surprises left. It will give a decent boost. But it wont be able to push wii u above 15 million numbers.


Are not you a little too pessimistic?

Let's say that in the worst case sells 20 million ...


No offense. But new to vgchartz? That explains it.

No, i'm not, and in any case people who are on this site from 4/5 years estimated 30/40 million Wii U...

But, but........ Smash Bros for the Wii U is doomed because the 3DS is coming out much earler!

20m would be best case scenario.

It only managed 6m so far, and now PS4 and X1 is what everyone wants. Theres soon going to be reasons to buy those consoles every other week, but for wii U theres only one reason every few months and as the image posted previously shows, those 'reasons' are never effective as people claim they are going to be.

I know not everyone can afford a PS4 and X1, but PS3 and 360 are still available and has games like GTA. the wii U is in the middle of no-where. Even when the wii U is as cheap as the ps3 and 360, it wont have as many games.

Those predictions must be 3 years old though.... from when people were under the illusion that nintendo exclusives was selling the wii, not the hardware.

Please do not talk about XO and PS4 as if they were the same thing...

PS4 sold double of XO, and And XO does not increase hardware sales with the multyplatform, because if one wants to take it a platform for PS4 ...

This generation will be something similar to the 6th generation, with PlayStation domination (in home console) and Wii U and XO will sell much less, for me XO will sold only 10 milion more of Wii U.



Mario Kart is going to be very important for the Wii U. The console race aside, Mario Kart is vital to bringing the Wii U back into the limelight. If it fails to accomplish that, if the perception has already set in among the general public that the Wii U is a failure, then nothing else Nintendo has in the clip will change that.

They're going to need to spend and advertise like the Wii U has already sold 50 million units. They need to make sure everyone who has even thought about playing a game has seen Mario Kart associated media. Sell Mario Kart and they might sell more Wii Us.

Only if Nintendo deliver the darker epic Zelda gamers want, not more whimsical toon stuff.


Wasn't twilight princess this kind of Zelda ?

lifetime?

Personally I think X1 will be 10m ahead of the wii U by the end of 2015.

PS4 and X1 are the same thing when it comes to picking wii U or not because those 2 systems will offer a ton of multiplatforms which the wii U never will. I know the graphics are different, but thats more of a PS4 v XB1 debate, but the point I wanted to make is that for most people, it will be either one of those instead of the wii U.
