Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii u will have sold 10 million by the end of this year

Now hear me out a lotbof people are going to buy a wii u for mario kart 8 and smash bros but i also believe the reveal of the new zelda game iw going to push wii u sales as well and nintendo has stated that they will be marketing mario kart 8 all year long especially ads on tv. Now if they do market mario kart 8 and smash bros like crazy i see it making it easy itbmay even sell more i believe iwata needs to kick the wii u into gear to save his job. Just my prediction i believe end of this year it will hit its goal of 3.6 million easily with the just the marketing of wii u.

The goal of 3.6 million is for the fiscal year, meaning until the end of march next year.  I should hope they'd hit that, but even if they hit that, they'd still be doing terribly.  Realistically, for the Wii U to remain viable, I'd say it has to be at 11 or 12 million by the end of the calander year, which would mean 5 million or so, which would be quite a task. 



Hopefully it does better than 10 mil. It can, but it's up to Nintendo.



easily.



If they play their cards right, (No game droughts after Mario Kart 8, price cut before the holidays, lots of exclusive features for Smash Bros U) then yes, it can reach 10m by the end of 2014.

Whether it will all depends on how much they fumble the ball from here onwards.

According to Nintendo, no



At this current rate of 30,000 a week, the Wii U will be sitting at 6,250,000 units sold by the time Mario Kart 8 releases. From that point on, the Wii U would need to average 130,000 a week to make 10 million by the end of the year. I just don't see that happening unfortunately.



Cool prediction and I hope so too! 10 million is a bit of a stretch but if it has any chance to sell that much, its certainly this year! But I do think it will sell more than 3.6 million but who knows, we will only find out in 2015

But I am wondering! Why u no have avatar yet? Same goes for all the other people on this site that don't have avatars! Get one damn it! And if your really brave, get a NSFW one! If you do, I will back you fully! (That doesn't really do anything but who cares)

I would hope they could, but I honestly doubt it.



No. Just no. Selling more than 12months of forecast in 7? No
