3DS-64 million

Vita-14 million

Wii U-18 million

PS4-12 million

One-8 million

3ds and wiiu are ridicilously high

Not really, they may be a bit on the high side but not ridicilously. 3DS did 14 million last year with only Paper Mario as a holiday title, this year Iit has Pokemon+Zelda and Monster Hunter 4 in Japan so YoY shoild be higher. Id say 16-18 million which would put it at 43-45 million. Next could very well see a price cut and redesign plus possible games such as Pokemon Z, Smash Bros, Dragon Quest 11 and some smaller titles like Metroid, Kirby, Yoshi, Advance Wars. 15-20 is def possible in 2014 which would put it anywhere between 58-65 million.

As for Wii U, by the end of the month it should be around 3.3 million, it has 5 decent sized exclusives from Aug-Oct, Pikmin, Luigi U, W101, Wind Waker, Party U so id say a total of 1 million in those three minths. In Nov/Dec there are 3 big titles in DKC, Fit U, 3D World all very big sellers, that plus holiday deals/bundles like Basic-$199 and Deluxe w/extra game-$299 will give it a strong holiday season. 3 million isnt out of the question so 7-8 million by the end of the year. Q1 next year could be slow but likely still up YoY then in April Mario Kart 8+pricr cut will push alot of units. Follow that up with Smash Bros in the summer and Zelda+Wii Sports U in thr holiday and some smaller exclusives like Yarn Yoshi, Bayonetta, X, SMTxFE and a few other unnanounced games mixed in between the big titles. 8-10 million is surely possiblr in 2014 putting it at 15-18 million.

Just for reference could I see ur numbers and a break down explaining why u dont think my numbers are possible?


Some wishful thinking here, when did DQ11 get announced, who says its coming out next year? Btw, you expect 3DS to sell another 13m units in 2013? hmmm... I doubt WiiU will reach 7 million by the end of the year, unless they have a pricecut(and they will). But if it does have a pricecut in the holidays it wont get another pricecut few months later in Spring 2014.

 

My numbers for jan 2014:

3ds: 41m

wiiu: 7m

360: 82m

ps3: 83m

vita: 8m

xb1: +-2m

ps4: +-2m (both next gen consoles will sell well due to fanbase early adopting)

jan 2015:

3ds: 55m

wiiu: 15m

360: 86m

ps3: 89m

vita: 14m

xb1: 7m

ps4: 10m

Well most of the games I listed havent been announced, I was simply saying I could picture those games releasing next year. Also all my numbers are my high end guesses, ill post my low end predictions as well.

3DS, 58-64 million

Vita, 11-14 million

Wii U, 14-18 million

PS4, 9-12 million

One, 6-8 million

As for Wii U price cut, I dont see one coming this year, I think the strategy is going to be games, advertising and holiday deals/bundles. No need for a pre-emprive price drop since we dont know how well the new consoles will sell and like u said most of there launch sales will be from thr loyal fanbase. Next spring once all the consoles have reached there baseline sales is when they should do it. Basic-$199, Deluxe Mario Kart 8 bundle-$299 looks appealing compared to $400-500 consoles without a game included.
