It would appear that Nintendo are feeling the coming heat from the PS4 and XBONE and trying everything to make it appear that they are not bothered...Going from 100% marketshare to less than 30% sure will hurt when the consoles come out!

This is hilarious. You expect both console to sale 4 million day one? Wow No basis in reality

I never said day one in that sentence!! But it is obvious going by the momentum and pre-orders that the new consoles are getting that they are going to blow past the 3.5 million sales the Wii U has in a fraction of the time!

 Momentum online is meaningless. Same thing happened with PS3 and Vita. Did they dominate? No. While its a nice dream to have it really has no bearing in reality. Gaming history isnt something you can ignore and sweep under the rug. Arent you the same kid that predicted launch titles on Ps4 would sale 6 million? Even though there is no basis for such a claim. Think what you want but you are in for a rude awakening when both consoles are sitting at around 2 million by years end.

Gaming history sure ISN'T something to sweep under the rug, but it goes both ways. For instance, Sony has sold more home consoles since 1994 than Nintendo has in it's entire LIFETIME. They've also beaten Nintendo 2 out of 3 times with home consoles.

Clearly, they know HOW to win this thing and I won't be shocked if they do again.
