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


Won't be 4m, it's not longer up 100% yoy.

Also, Q2 shipments were up over 200% yoy, Q3 is up 100%. It's dropping.

50% increase in sales WW is realistic. So US 600k to 900k ect.

At least is isn't doing as bad as the Virtual Boy.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

For its time it was an impressive console, even more powerful than ps2. wiiU is a PS3.3 instead.



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

Wii doesn't even fit in the chart anymore lol


I think a lot of people didn't realize in 07 and 08 how insane the Wii's first couple of years was, I know I didn't.

Wii did more in a year what WiiU will do lifetime. Insane.

Yeah, 24.5 (2008) million will be impossible to beat at this point, probably 21 (2009) as well. 2010 was 17.5 million, could be the most realistic target of the three, my 18-25 million estimate from early 2013 seems to be holding up fairly well.

All depends on next year and how Nintendo play it. Contry to popular belief I don't think their line up is great from a sales perspective. It's a lot of small fry stuff (that will be great for WiiU games) but not selling hardware.

Even Zelda as praised as it is, isn't a huge hardware mover ... nothing comes close to Mario Kart and Smash and it's getting both of those this year ...
