Oh, someone necrobumped my thread.Was planning to do that after the financial report, but I dont mind people doing it now.

When will it take place? I only know it's this month. xD



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I'd call anything below 50m a failure. Even 50 or 60m would show that the Nintendo and handheld fanbase has massively declined. Anything above 60m I'd call a success, though I don't see that yet.

How about now? What do you see. 

Didn’t you read what he said? The man is blind!



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Wish the two people I saw who predicted greater than ps2 sales had made a thread, can't find them now either.

One said >155m, the other said "a league above the ps2".

Now that's a BOLD prediction.



it has a real good chance at 100m. they need to sell 20+m this year, i think pokemon can give them that. Labo will attract some new users mainly younger children. i think they should dip into the wii-ds back catalog to attract older casuals.

The key is release schedule, they blew out in 2017 with new titles. Now in 2018 they're filling gaps in with WiiU ports as they did to a lesser extent last year, the question is if the studios they have will be ready to release games on a consistent basis before they run out of WiiU games to port. xD

Essentially the WiiU releases are playing for time, giving their studios more time to get new games ready, while making sure there isn't a drought of releases.

60m seem quite possible now, which would mean I'd consider it a success. Still very iffy on the 100m though.

Cool your jets, no need for name calling. Some people don't have their self worth attached to a certain platform so they're naturally skeptical. Not that I ever made an actual prediction on this.

Wii franchise but new entries, not rehashes. Yes please!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=241866&page=1

I think 100m units is certainly possible. 5 years could mean new entries of already popular franchises that came out last year or this year. A new Pokemon could be done in the 4th or 5th year depending how easy it is to reuse assets etc. What I'm trying to say is, it will be entirely possible if they keep putting out franchises that move massive amount of hardware.
