Wii U most important year is probably going to be 2014. Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8, two huge system sellers will be out, and I expect the truly new Zelda and Super Mario to come out at the end of 2014.

But I think that won't be enough against the PS4, which seems to be a huge success even at 400€ and with a limited line-up.

So I expect something like this for 2014 :
PS4 : 16mil
Wii U : 13mil
XOne : 12mil


I'm sorry but I am beyond tired of hearing about how Nintendo's core IPs are going to somehow matter. I understand that LAST gen, they did. But that was because the Wii was a trojan horse of sorts. If you want proof that Smash and Kart aren't game changers, look to the N64 and Gamecube. Both of those systems got their asses handed to them by Sony and both had Smash and Kart, along with every other first party IP you could dream of.

People just need to get over it. The Wii-U isn't going anywhere. That's why I chose to go with the 3DS this gen. To me, that's the defaco Nintendo console. It gets all the love and attention that the Wii-U doesn't from Nintendo AND it's got amazing third party support. Who needs a Wii-U when you have a 3DS?

I could use the same argument against Xbox, Iit had Halo, great 3rd party support, best online and multimedia features yet it barely outsold GC. Without a headstart and cheaper price 360 eould have been smashed by PS3 just like Xbox was by PS2. GC was able to outsell Xbox the year Mario Kart released, add Smash Bros into the mix and its possible Wii U can outsell One next year. So I would say his prediction of PS4-1st, Wii U-2nd, One-3rd is very possible.
