Will WiiU Beat Gamecube?

No 112 45.90%
 
Yes 132 54.10%
 
Total:244

* Will add 3DS Vs. DS when I can find the figures.

WiiU shipped 610k this Q, in the same comparable Q Gamecube shipped 810k. This means the gap increased 200k in Gamecubes favour.

Looking forward the Gamecube shipped 3.45m in the holiday Q.

That's about what Nintendo expect for the entire fiscal year (3.6m) but I am hopeful (as I'm sure many Nintendo fans are too) that it can do around 3m shipped this holiday, up 50% yoy over the 1.95m it did last year.

This still puts it behind even more tho

As of this Q it's 7.29m WiiU's shipped vs 10.45m Gamecubes.

Next Q will be around 10m WiiU's shipped vs 13.94m Gamecubes.


If WiiU is to overtake/beat Gamecubes 21.74m figure it has a 4m deficit to make up.

CYQ1 2015 Gamecube shipped 630k. WiiU usually does 300k~ in this Q.

Its not looking good for poor old WiiU Hopefully it can ship a few million this holiday, we'll see if Smash can work its magic



The only way WiiU could outsell Gamecube is if.it has a longer.life, and I believe it will as GC had a very short one. But it will be close.



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Wii doesn't even fit in the chart anymore lol



Man, if you're doing worse than the GC you KNOW it's bad...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Well GCN was a far better console anyway. But not looking good at all for little wiiU



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Chart is a little off, given GC launched in Japan a Q early. But yeah, Wii was mammoth!!!

Gamecubed shipped 4.09m in the following year (which will be WiiU's 2015.) So at best it will outsell it 1m~

2016 onwards WiiU will begin to fall like every other Nintendo device has in the 3rd year.

Gamecube shipped 2.58m in the year following that (WiiU's 2016). Given this isn't far off what it did in is first full year (2.8m). It just seems difficult for me to agree WIiU will sell above Gamecube enough to overtake it.

When Nintendo systems start to slow down it seems they literally just free fall, or at least that's what the last few systems have shown.

Also WiiU won't be up YOY in 2015 until it gets a price cut. All the software coming out (Especially in Q1/Q2) is very niche.



 

u should do 3DS vs GBA instead of DS.



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

ok gc outships wii u i know the numbers,however how much is the gas in sales?Glad you expect 3m shipments...for holidays!thats the minimum i think,can see it 4m because nintendo doubles shipments,and big N expects smash bros to be equal to mk8...also there are other games and amiibos!gc had two consecutive big price cuts 50$ and 50$ down in its firsttwo years,wii u doesn t.i want a comment forthis, seece:p
