Its achievable. But the PS4 hype is really strong. And destiny will dominate everything in this holiday.


Ps4 hype is dead

Also there is COD and Destiny won't outsell that.

Yeah, it seems likely. With the MK8 momentum and Smash coming this holiday, I think theyll do well.



Yes, It's shipped.

And even if it was sold Wii U would just have to get 400k ahead of 2014. It's already 300k.



I think they will beat this forecast yes. Probably not by a huge amount, but yeah.

They should be able to ship a lot of Smash Bros. bundles this holiday (assuming that's coming), and even if they don't all sell, these are shipped numbers.



I'd say the Wii U can :)



Current Consoles: Gaming PC, Wii U, 3DS

So the holiday season doesn't exist anymore for you?



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

When was the last time Nintendo actually meet their forecast? 3.3 million probably.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Hopefully they'll exceed it by a bit, but seriously, if they can't at least achieve that 3.6m, then...

This time is more plausible. I mean, their last forecast said they would ship around 9 million Wii Us if I'm correct... it's just incredible that they believed that was possible, considering the low hype the console had, underwhelming launch titles for everybody and poor marketing.

This time however they got Mario Kart, Smash, titles already released, the Bayonetta promotion, Hyrule Warriors and the hype generated during the E3 of this year. Even if the PS4 and Xbox One are already around, I think they are going to achieve the quantity. It's not possible, it's more than obvious.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

Smash will dominate this hollidays so no problem.
