Forums - Sales Discussion - Predict LT Wii U sales by the end of each year

I'm using data from Nintendo in the data from the past and my thoughts for future numbers... I will also include GameCube numbers just because its slightly comparable... and I think Wii U will last to 2018.... but possibly 2019.. either way it will outsell GameCube

2012- 3.06m

2013- 5.86m

2014- 10.41m  (I believe in smash bros and hoiday boost)

2015- 17.03m (I believe this will be Wii U's peak year)

2016- 20.78m ( I think Wii U will have okay legs for Nintendo consoles)

2017- 23.99m (when it will pass up GameCube if it does)

2018- 25.01m (becomes almost dead)

2019?- 25.48m (Wii U's last year where its now dead)

 

Now GameCube numbers

2001- around 3m

2002- around 9m

2003- 13.94m

2004- 18.03m

2005- 20.61m

2006- 21.52m

2007- 21.74m

2013- 5.86m
2014- 9.25m (I believe in smash bros and hoiday boost)
2015- 20.00m (I believe in price cut, Zelda, X, Bayo and Splatoon)
2016- 25.00m (I believe the library will continue to sell)
2017- 28.00m (I believe in the unified OS and API with handheld, I believe in pokemon)
2018- 35.00m (I believe handheld library on WiiU will devastate competition)
2019- 40.00m (WiiU now becomes Nintendo's longest supported HW, and is phased out by successor which is fully BW compatible and games can be transfered to new system)

2019 onward. TOTALLY UNIFIED LIBRARY OF GAMES - GAME OVER

Press -Start- to continue.


lol maybe... I have more faith in Wii U than I should. Even though I have mine at 25m I think it most likely will be N64 levels and maybe more. But I don't want to many Wii U haters attacking me on how its impossible
