lol, people are completely just forgetting the fact that wiiU is tracking far behind gamecube (by a couple million units) and GC sold merely 21m. WiiU will probably end up at around 17m.


This. Wii U also had its biggest game just come out and it's only able to sell 60k a week. Smash bros will also be on DS. And the new zelda game has cartoon grtaphics again which majoirty of zelda fans hate. it isnt looking good for Wii U.

So Xbox One had Titanfall and it still isn't selling past 60k. I think people need to revise all their console predictions downward this gen.

But selling 60k a week during the lull of the summer months isn't too bad at all.

And XBOX ONE will sell 13 million by end of year.

I agree.

15-30 million, June was a good month for Wii U but we have to remember it was still behind Gamecube in the same time frame. At its current rate it will not outsell Gamecube but one thing to note is that its still 2x the cost of a GC at this point of there lives, also Amiibo can potentially attract a large audience among children.

Basically if its current sales continue it will sell less than Gamecube but if more attractive price+Amiibo can spur sales than I can see it selling closer to N64 level sales.



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

25 million is what I predict. 15 is too low but anything above 30m will be very very unlikely.

I still say 35m
It takes it out of the "Flop" category and puts it into the somewhat decent category with the N64

Amiibo+Smash Bros/2015 games+Price Drop=SALES

At this point I think that even google translator will do a far better job than you.
Seriously, get your shit together. You're not even trying.

I am being pessimistic so that I could be pleasantly surprised if the Wiiu makes a comeback or something,.

oh...on the contrary...i m optimistic...wii u 35mill at least,wii u will win n64:P

At least you're optimistic.. I would be so happy if the WiiU could rech N64 numbers..

Its sad that that's my absolute most optimistic expecation for the Wii U. Something more respectable like SNES numbers would be great, but there's no chance of that happening now T_T
