To be honest, this shows more how pathetically the Wii U has performed moreso than anything else. Though the launch numbers are nice, the are largely irrelevant. I'm more interested in how the console sells past the holiday season. My gut says it will drop off very hard.

How long will the WII U live anyways ? I'll give it that it's life will probably diminish early 2015 seeing as 2014 looks to be the peak. The X1 and PS4 will come hard at the WII U with a ton of 3rd party games to seriously massacre the WII U. 


At this point, Wii U is irrelevant lol. Thanks to Nintendo's own doing. 

 

The he problem is though if you take Wii's contribution out of last gen the picture is bleak. The 8th gen has no Wii. And very rarely do franchises carry over their sales power into the next gen cycle. If cod isn't able to match last gens sales what game will sell these systems? The industry is becoming AAA only and that isn't healthy. 



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
