Forums - Sales Discussion - Prediction: WiiU to hit 10m sold after E3 2015

 

WiiU to hit 10m sold after E3 2015

Before E3 119 60.71%
 
During E3 15 7.65%
 
After E3 62 31.63%
 
Total:196

So it looks like WiiU is on track to hit 9m (with a bit of luck it could do a little higher) by 2015. I looked at how long it took WiiU to sell 1m from Jan 4th~ this year, and it takes me to June 14th.

If WiiU maintained the same level as early this year, my prediction should come true.

WiiU does have a more consistant slate of games in Q1/Q2, but then nothing as big as Mario Kart to push hardware (which pushed 300k out of that 1m in the last 3 weeks of this period).

However, If Nintendo price cut before E3 this could destroy this prediction.

Most likely after Zelda and Starfox are shown. Now that I look at it, Wii U won't get past Game Cube will it? No wonder they've already started development on a new console. Anyway, yeah 10M after E3.



I think it will hit 10M before E3. Not betting on it though...



They have shipment goal of 9.77 million by the end of March. That will probably equal to 9.3-9.4 million in actual sales. I don't see them reaching 10 million by mid-June without a big pricecut or Splatoon becoming a big hit.



Asssuming it does hit 9 million end of 2014, WiiU has to hit an average of around 40k a week WW to clear 10 million by E3. If it can manage that through Februrary, they'll easily do that before E3.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Ok it's at 8m right now, should sell at least another 1m at worst this holiday, and then just 1m more by June 2015?

Thanks for all the great memories!

Depends on how the baseline settles after silly season.



I would imagine it happening after E3 ...

Nintendo are going to have to grab a quarter decent footing in more than one territory to pull it off with the increasing market saturation going on ...



It's overtracked at this moment! I've been saying for a while now that i'm expecting it to hit 10Million around June 2015.



I say before E3
