Unless Ninty botch one of the big game launches, it should do it quite comfortably.

You've got to give them credit for it, though. Two months without a new release and still going strong at a ~20k/week baseline in America. That means VGChartz has overtracked Wii U by ~30k in July.

I see the baseline falling further in August, to ~15k+, but see it reaching back to these levels in September.

Oh, and here's a curious snippet of info: According to Media Create, sales of Wii U jumped to 13.5k in a pre-Hyrule WarriorsZelda Musou week. Not really a lot, but every bit counts if you're Nintendo.

no, it was 12k.


you're  doubting  mediacreate?13.5k..........!

media create? weren't we talking about npd? US was only overtracked 12k. or 3k a week.

Sorry, a couple factors got into me to post this. First off, I didn't know whether July was a four-week month. Second, on the VGChartz side of the equation, I may have factored in some numbers from Jume and August. Again, I apologize. (I still think VGChartz overtraclrd the Woo U in the US by more than 12k, though.

Does it mean anything that people can get their 8th gen Smash fix on 3DS?


Nope, not at all. 


Apparently it did mean something.

That would mean selling 1.6 million WiiU in three months (or around 14 weeks). It would need to sell more than 110k per week minimum. With only Kirby aTRC and Mario Party 10 releasing in this period (not counting the Wii digital store). I don't see it happening, bud I'd like to be wrong.

Nintendo's forecast is 3.6M Wii U in FY'14, which means 9.77M LTD by March 31st. As of today it could reach it or miss it, we can't really know yet. We'll have a better view on Jan,28 when we'll have shipments as of December 31st 2014.

(By the way, 10.6M was totally out of reach).



Prediction: End of 2015 Hardware sales (as of January 20, 2015)

Wii U: 12.1M | XBO: 19.8M | PS4: 36.0M | 3DS: 58.5M | PSV: 11.7M

Ahh ok thought i read somewhere that 3.6M FY 14 would equate to 10.6M maybe that was wrong. Hmmm will it get 9.77M by march 31st then cos.i.even see.that been out of reach
