I think my sales targets are quite realistic given the software that's coming. It's sold around 3m already and I can't see it doing too badly during the 8 months between now and November. Should do 3m in 8 months quite comfortably, if not more. And sales will explode when a 3D Mario and Mario Kart 8 hit the shop shelves before Black Friday, even without a price cut.

The Wii U's main two problems are lack of new software for the last two months and shite marketing. And both of those issues I'm sure will be dealt with between now and the end of the year, we already know what software's on the way and that's before any E3 Megatons are dropped.



Ps3 shipped 2 million in the same time frame and the Wii U is selling less than the Ps3 has this year already. Wii U will ship less than 2 million and you expect it to sell 3? You might be right if Nintendo discontinues it for some stupid reason and it goes on a fire salee at 200$ a piece



The PS3 was ridiculously expensive, the Wii U is more affordable (despite the recession) and the 2 month software drought is ending with several key titles (Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Dragon Quest X, Wii Fit U and Game & Wario) launching during these next few months, some with hardware bundles.

3m sold between now and November is a realistic target.

They barely sold 3 million with the Christmas holiday rush + New Super Mario Bros U + Nintendo Land + Call of Duty Black Ops 2 + Assassin's Creed 3 + Zombi U + Scribblenauts U and the launch/early adopter rush. 

I dunno. I think Wii Fit U is gonna underperform big time too. I think Nintendo is going to have a hard time explaining to that audience why they need to pay $300+ to play another Wii Fit when most people probably gave up on their Wii Fit program years ago. 

I think there's gonna be a price cut by June though so that should help but things like Pikmin 3 are not selling hardware.
