| Suke said: It depend, your not only selling this to core gamers ,but also new gamers and casual. Wii Fit U will be the perfect game to introduce Wii Fit owners and other casual over to the Wii U. Though graphics could be a plus to advertisement, we can all agree, graphics and specs won't sell a system, it'll come down to the exclusive titles. Wounderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Mario U, Mario Kart U ,Pikmin 3 etc. these are going to be games that will sell the system same with Killzone, Infamous, and Knack for the PS4. I can see all three consoles selling big this holiday seasons. Black Firday is going to be a War Zone. |
Depends on what you mean by 'selling big'. I can see the Wii U doing 4m in November and December but I very much doubt that the PS4 and One will do much more than 1.5m each. Both consoles are going to be supply constrained, new consoles always are. What's going to be more interesting is how the sales for each console will be from New Years Day onwards when people have bugger all money left after Christmas, and how the PS4 and One sell when each console has their own (albeit less sparse the the Wii U had!) software drought.
There are two guarantees with just about every new console: 1) They're going to be supply constrained at launch and 2) During the start of each console's lifespan they're guaranteed to have a software drought.
Where Nintendo went wrong was to delay just about every launch window title. The Wii U would have been doing better numbers if Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101 and Game & Wario had launched between 1st January and 30th of April and Wii Fit had launched in May. That way you would have seen Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Game & Wario, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3G Ultimate, Wii Fit U and Rayman Legends all keeping sales momentum going from January to June.
A great deal of people seem to have forgotten that the Wii U had a great launch, it did over 80% of the Wii's launch figures which was a mental sales beast.
