A few months ago I would've called that a stupid prediction for best-case scenario but now I'd just say it should probably be what it can likely achieve or thereabouts. 30m should be the roof. But no, there is nothing to support the floor being above Gamecube sales. Actually quite the opposite, since Gamecube was doing quite a bit better at this point in time.

That's because GameCube had a much stronger 2001/2002, which petered off into 2003 and especially 2004. Wii U's equivalent year to GC's 2003 is 2014, which will be a flagship year, so Wii U will "bloom" later than the GameCube, which started hot and fizzled off into mediocrity. Wii U will run stronger further in, software-wise.

I guess that's true. But it remains to be seen how the games will effect WiiU long-term. WiiU needs huge hits to surpass GC imo. 3D Mario won't be it. Bayonetta won't be it. Mario Kart and SSBB very well might help, but for how long?

Super Mario 3D World looks *so* much more compelling than Super Mario Sunshine. Check the sig.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
