3DS - 60-65M: Similar to GBA in Japan, much weaker than GBA in the west

Wii U: 9-13m: Similar to GC in Japan, much weaker than GC in the west

PS4: 85-95m: Similar lifetime figures (but flipped EU & NA) but much weaker in Japan than PS3 + X360 (80-85m west...+Japan)

X1: 50-60m: Between X1 and X360 in West, very weak in Japan

Vita: Weak Everywhere. Won't top 15m

3DS is past peak, X1 and PS4 peak next year - they're much cheaper than X360 / PS3 were adjusted for inflation, and core gamers into graphics will bleed back to the PC faster this round since the machines weren't overengineered like crazy. My numbrs are actually high too, if you reckon that Kinect / Move added 18 months or so of life to X360 / PS3 late, and that won't happen this time.

Dunno if serious.....

Can you tell that your predictions are already grossly off? There is so much wrong with it that i don't even know where to begin. Its like a prediction someone will make if living under a rock or in a bubble of some sort void of any kinda statistical or historical analysis whatsoever. You have to be joking right?

First, your windows argument is a bad one. Simply because the thing about windows is that no one really has a choice. Everyone buying a laptop in the past 2 years automatically is buying into windows 8. Anyone trying to buy a new OS for their PC is automatically buying into windows 8. There isn't a single other OS that is directly competing with windows. You can't just walk into a store and buy a OSX and install it on your laptop at home without some serious tech savvy.

Now back to the wiiU. I feel for nintendo and al, but lets call a spade a spade. The wiiU was DOA and is still dead and will when compared to everything else in its market, will remain dead. Thats not saying that it may not hit 20M in lifetime sales, or maybe a little more. The way I see it; its the cheapest console on the market, and not just selling the worst, but has been grossly outpaced by the other two consoles on the market within their first years of being on the market while costing significantly more. Its a sad place to be for nintendo or its fans if they are somehow looking to a price drop making the cheapest console already cheaper just to get maybe 4M sales in a single year. 

That's categorical...!What gamecube did?I know what it did...After selling fast 13m units(60% of lt sales)in its first two years because of the two big consecutive price cuts(-50$ -50$),it sold 4m in the third year,facing a huge decline!Can you say that this isn't insuperable?

Who can be sure with similar price cuts that wii u won't destroy gc's 3rd and 4th year?I know,you!

I m still wondering why what you are saying everytime oozes an inconceivalbe certainty,dear seece!:P

It will be lucky to sell over 13.5m? 

It can sell 21m lft
