8-10mil ? I don't know buddy but I think it could pull off 5 mil.


My prediction may be a bit high but I like to stay optimistic. I think 5m is pretty low tho, Sunshine on Gamecube did 6.3m so Wii U would have to sell like 15m lifetime for 3D World to sell that low.

Your forgetting one thing though, it's doing worse than gamecube in the same time frame. I am not joking and I hope your hearing me right. 

I know it is currently but I see a decent sized turnaround for Wii U coming, I think it can do about 40m lifetime so im basing my 3D World prediction off of that number. Do u see Wii U continuing to sell worse than Gamecube?

The WII U as of now needs to drop that controller and start doing something on the lines of a VITA TV like NOW! to be able to reach 40mil. 

Nah they should keep the controller, maybe bundle an addition Motion Plus with it. But it should have a decent boost this holiday, they seem to be aiming towards families pretty hard which is a good idea.

Next year should be strong with a huge game each quarter. Q1-Donkey Kong, Q2-Mario Kart, Q3-Smash Bros, Q4-Zelda. If they have a lineup like that and games like Yoshi, Bayonetta, X, SMTxFE, 3rd Sonic exclusive and Wii Sports Club retail version mixed in between then Wii U has potential to sell over 10m in 2014.

Price cut to $199 in 2015 and release games like Paper Mario, Kirby, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Mario Party, Star Fox, F-Zero, Pokemon, sequels of 2012-2014 games can provide sustained sales thru 2016.

@Bold Hahahaha. More like their aiming for hardcore nintendo fans LOL.

I agree that next year will have a stronger lineup but at the same time will people care at that point ? And don't they have face other consoles too ?

Wii Party, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Karaoke, 4-player Mario..........very family oriented

Well Wii U Is $100-200 cheaper than PS4/One and thats with a game+free online so its more like $200-300 cheaper so id say alot of people will see the value. And the typical consumer wont care that Wii U had a lousy first year. Somebody who is a fan of Mario/Donkey Kong/Zelda/Mario Kart/Smash Bros isnt going to skip buying a Wii U in 2014 because it had a drought in 2013.

Except for one thing, those games won't have any affect seeing as how the WII U lost every new audience they gained from the WII if only nintendo would accept the fact that gamecube was a failure and that they thrive in blue ocean then it would be different. 2D mario is family oriented otherwise why didn't 3D mario do the same god damn thing ?! It doesn't matter if the WII U is cheaper or not seeing as how PS4/X1 will have the games to justify their prices.
