How do you think the Wii U will do its first 3 months? Based on what we know now.

It doesn't matter so much what they sell in the first three to six months. The real question is how they are doing in a year or more time after release when much of the initial sales hysteria has died down. It seems pretty obvious that aside from stupid pricing or releasing a system which outright doesn't work they'll likely sell out their initial shipments on earnt brand recognition and goodwill alone and deservedly so.

I agree. Maybe I will make a how will Nintendo do in its first Year on the Wii U thread when the time comes.

I will say it will do better than the GC. Is that good enough now though? I doubt it will be as popular as the wii was.

Well it depends on what you call popularity. Do you talk about how much people on this website profess to love it, the overall sales, the proportion of the marketshare for next/current generation consoles it gets?

It's complicated.

It's simple.

Both work.
