Can the Wii U reach 100 million sales and repeat the success of the Wii?

I think the answer is no and no.  They won't reach 100 million and they won't repeat the success of the wii..  They'll have a much better type of success.  I think they'll sell somewhere are 60 million in 6 years and make more money of each of those 60 million Wiiu's than the did off of the 100 million Wii's. Nobody purchased games for Wii. Or atleast is was quite rare. Most Wii owners just bought the system for Wii Sports..  So they'll have a different kind of client this team around. Comparisons to the Wii don't mean mean. It is a different type of console which targets the market differently.

Wii Software total:  803.57

PS3 software total: 572.23

Xbox 360 software total: 659.29

Thanks for posting this. You exposed my exaggeration!  I would love to see numbers on the average price of a wii game sold minus the cost of shipping, the case/disc, and piece of hardware that was sold with it versus the other systems. The fact is that many of the Wii game sales were hardware bundles like balance board and and wii remote or motion plus ect. And the average sale price will have been much lower due to bargain bin purchasing and the 49.99 price for brand new premium games versus 59.99 on the other consoles.

While you exposed an exaggeration on my part and I due stand factually correct the point I was trying to make I still believe to be true. Nintendo might make just as much money off 60 to 70 million Wiiu's versus 100 Wii's. The attatch rates will be higher, they will make a lot more off digital customers, and the price of games have gone up. They will attract more avid gamers this time around.
