History my dear Watson... History, ps1 and ps2 kicking Nintendo's ass is what I use to back my argument anything else is invalid

I think PS4 will for sure outsell Wii U in lifetime sales but by Mar 31 is rediculous and alot of people are claiming it will. What makes u think Wii U will only sell about 1 million units this holiday?

It barely sells over 20k per week (lower than GameCube?)

Its being outsold by a PS3 5 to 1

The demand for next gen is huge (1M+ PS4 preorders 3 months before launch)

Less value compared to next gen products

Less value compared to last gen products

Im glad u brought up GC sales. From Mar-June 2003, Nintendo shipped 80k Gamecubes(1/2 of Wii U shipments in the same time frame of this year) yet they were still able to ship 3.5m over the holidays.

Every next gen console that is first to hit the market is outsold by the previous gen at first. Genesis was being outsold by NES, Saturn/PS1 were being outsold by SNES, DC was getting outsold by N64/PS1, PS3/360 were being outsold by PS2, DS/PSP were getting outsold by GBA, 3DS was getting outsold by DS, Vita was getting outsold by PSP.

The demand for next gen is always huge, Dreamcast set records when it launched then was discontinued 18 months later. Launch sales are no indication of total success.

Value is completely opinion, Wii U has 8 exclusives coming in the next 3 months that are from multimillion selling franchises and is $100-200 cheaper than PS4/One, comes with a game and has free online. Many people will see that as a better value, especially Nintendo fans, casuals and parents. Many people will see PS4/One as a better value due to increased graphics, large storage, best versions of multiplats, blu ray playback. It just comes down to individual preference.
