Your sig, your username, your threads... All about you screams Playstation! You really like Playstation don't you?

Anyway I agree with your logic.

A couple of months ago, I posted a thread why people should support the WII U. Yes, I do like playstation but if a company does something better ( Free online on the wii U ) I will support it.

That's very nice from you, people should learn from your attitude. We should spread love, not hate.

Stop please, everybody knows that you are very glad to see it falling despite the great games. Anyways is not its peak year, you´ll see. And this bulling is just boring.


No, I do not like to see it fail, but based on the facts at hand this is its peak year.

"Based on the facts" Yeah the facts says that early this year everyone thoughts Wii U was a shit, and now lots of people are changing its mind, it has so much better reputation now, the facts also says that the console is growing (2013: 3.1m - 2014: Probably 3.7m), and says that Mk8 and the price cut made a 400% boost, Smash doesn´t has that boost because the 3DS version, but next year we can see boosts on Splatoon or Xenoblade, and definitly we´ll see a big boost when Zelda is released, i know many Nintendo fans that says the same "I´ll get a WiiU when Zelda is released", and another boost with the price cut (if is not coming with Zelda making a very huge boost), facts are saying that 2015 seems a great year in games for WiiU, but there´s nothing clear about One and Ps4, not really so many NEW great games are coming, and seems like half of them are going to be just big hypes again(The order 1886... ). And of course you are not thinking about the surprises Nintendo can be announcing on 2015, like an Animal Crossing with big amiibo and online possibilities or even a pokemon amiibo. So the facts says a lot of things and you just take the ones that says that WiiU is Doomed

I stopped reading when you said 2013: 3.1m, 2014: 3.7m. It's actually 2013: 3.1m, 2014: 3.2 m at best. Currently it's at 2.9m.

What?  It´s almost at 3m by 13th December, it has 3 more weeks before the end of 2014, we have seen 220k on the 13th Dec. week and is not going to have less than 300k on the next week, so it´s already up of 3.2m, you are not being realistic because you clearly want to see it falling. It just need to have 200k per week this 3 lasts weeks to reach 3.6 m

This year's  global sales from Vg chartz: 

WiiU 2,918,695 (-6%) 7,996,957

And there´s 3 more weeks to go before the end of the year, it can easily be 350k next week, 200k the next and 150 the last one, that is +700k

2.92m + 700k = 3.62m

Here is why:

1. Even with exclusives such as Mario Kart 8 and Super smash Bros it will just barely overtake the amount of consoles sold in 2013.

2. The only upcoming main exclusives are Star Fox U and Zelda U. Star Fox U while a fan favourite doesn't sell that many units and therefore won't sell consoles and finally Zelda U is already getting mixed reactions from fans and the Cartoon styled Zelda's don't sell as well usually.

I am sorry, but this is how good it gets.

i got one and will enjoy zelda an xcx very much. So maybe sales wise they peaked, but gamewise 2015 is gonna be great!

But but but price cut!

All this negativity. I can totally see the Wii U having a solid 5% boost YoY.

5% of something is better than 100% of nothing XD



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I think it's going to decrease from 220K to 100 somethingK to Sub 100k.

To be fair , the wii and 3ds did peak in their 2nd year. So, I call it probable.



I agree, I don't think a pricedrop will have much of an effect and all of the heavy hitting games have already been released.

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.

What about the love for Nintendo doom threads?

We're not allowed to discuss WiiU's performance around these parts, you become an automatic hater. Oh expect a Vita topic to be made not so long from now.

Last year done 340k + 230 k + 120k on the last 3 weeks. I think is going to be a little bit higher.
