| Metallicube said: I see it ending up similar to the dropoff from NES to SNES. Since I think Wii will end up with around 110 million, I'd guess about 70-75 million for Wii U. They will alienate much of their mass market audience they captured with Wii, but some of this will be offset by the stronger third party support and more support by core gamers from the Sony and MS camps. |
No. There is Nintendo core, which like the Ninty franchises, who jumped on board this gen, and will likely jump on board every gen, and then the core.
Friend codes are still in tact, and having multiplatform games isn't exciting for the core, especially when PS360 will be vastly cheaper than WiiU, and 720/PS4 will be much more advanced than WiiU.
Couple that with the whole Wii family friend image in tact, they're going to go with Sony/MS offerings.
They can achieve, at best, 5 - 10 mill core, and that's being generous.
