| oni-link said: Wii U will be fine, the system sold ~3.5-4.0 mil despite an extremely weak software support by Nintendo and 3rd parties. Nintendo has hinted at a relaunch this coming holiday season just in time for Super Mario 3D world. If Nintendo is smart it would cut the price and unify the SKU to only the 32GB with pre-installed NintendoLand for $299.99 giving extra value to the system. I have a feeling MS will be dropping the X1's price to $400 with no game to match what PS4 is offering. Regardless, Nintendo has chosen not to compete with those systems and be a supplementary system to those consoles as it was with the Wii and GCN. I see the system selling ~10-12 mil units on their annual fiscal report ending March 2014. With the X1 and PS4 surpassing or matching those sales by the same time period if not soon after that date. Still might end up with 45-50mil units sold in 5-6 year span, enough to sustain software support by 1st & 2nd party software, along with Indies and some 3rd party as well. |
Not sure if I've misunderstood you here...are you seriously suggesting that the PS4 and One are going to have an installed userbase between 10 and 12m before the end of the financial year..? There's absolutely no chance of that happening, they won't be able to manufacture and ship that many let alone sell them.
10-12m is very doable by 31st March 2015 but there's no way that's possible next year.
