Forums - Sales Discussion - Fact: The Wii U will sell more than the GameCube (im back and its still a fact)

Wii U is far below what GameCube was at this point in time and many of its system seller franchises have already launched. You expect sales to miraculously pick up and surpass 20 million? Even the PS3 still puts up a fight with the console.

all depend on price drop.
But i think 18M is more accurate.

Fact: your thread title is factually incorrect!

Seriously though I really can't see it. What's the cubes total?


Dude...there's this site called VGChartz...sometimes their numbers are a little off, but their archival info is spot on. Give it a check...it's also really cool to use their charts to align launches, etc. 

 

 

Regarding this prediction...man, I hope you're right. Good consoles deserve to be rewarded with good sales, but that's not always the case. 


Somebody already answered so no point

21.74 million according to VGC.


Why hasn't VGC updated Dreamcast numbers to 10.6 million yet? Do they not want people to know Wii U has yet to surpass that console?

I think it will sell around how much the GC sold as well
People who say it will sell less than 20 million are just haters!

Too bad he couldn't change the thread title to "Prediction", you know, being banned and all

I think it will sell 18 million life time and i have a WIIU with 24 games.

No idea. The archive hasn't even updated the PS4 sales to 20.2 million yet.



Fact: It's more than 4 million behind the GameCube at the same point in their life cycles and that gap is widening every month, not shrinking.



totally.  right on.  the math doesn't lie.

Year WiiU Yearly Global Sales WiiU LTD Defict to GC LTD

all data is vgcz expect for the shit i made up.



Depends on how soon Nintendo choose to release a new consol right?
That and maybe price cuts.

I hope the next nintendo consol doesnt have a gamepad... they should aim high spec wise, and to keep price down, they shouldnt flaunt it on gamepads, but instead just normal controllers.

They need to make sure their next consol is atleast equal with the ps4, performance wise, so they can get 3rd party back.
