How do you know this??

Gamecube sold 21m (a portion of those not Nintendo faithfuls) so for all we know the Nintendo home console fanbase was around 15m going into the Wii era, which may or may not have added any to that.

Perhaps 10m~ is that the Nintendo home console fanbase make up now.

And you can't expect them to all jump on board in the first 12 months! WiiU should be at 10m early 2015 that gives them 2 years for software to come along that appeals to them.

oh aome on! you think WIiU is going to sell only 5m next year?

with MK8 and Smash and the rest?

It's doing 3m this year, why is next year going to see such a huge bump? We've yet to see if those franchise are effective. I just can't see them turning around anything.

is this a joke?

has MK and Smash something to prove already? much less to you!!! lolol

 

i can see easily doubling its sales of this year. wiiU will be 11m by Jan2015 at the very least

What bumps did it cause for Gamecube? I mean bare in mind WiiU is already at a much lower baseline level than Gamecube.

The funny part is hes arguing with u about it selling 10m by the beginning of 2015 yet his number is 11m in the same time frame, such a huge difference lol

But anywho Gamecube had better first year sales but also had more going in its favor. Starting price $199, dropped to $149 within 6 months which Is $50-100 less than the competition. Launch window exclusives Luigi's Mansion, Smash Bros Melee, Rogue Squadron, Wave Race, Super Monkey Ball. key exclusives in 2002, Feb-Sonic Adventure 2, April-Resident Evil Remake, June-Eternal Darkness, August-Mario Sunshine/Monkey Ball 2, September-Star Fox Adventures/Animal Crossing, Nov-Mario Party/Metroid Prime/Sonic Mega Collection/Resident Evil Zero. Also it easily recieved over 50% of multiplat games in 2002.

For comparison Wii U starting price was $299/349 or about $50-100 more than the competition. Launch exclusives include Nintendo Land, NSMBU, and ZombiU. Exclusives this year include March-Lego City, June-Game & Wario, August-Pikmin/Luigi U, Sept-Wonderful 101, Oct-Wind Waker/Wii Party U, Nov-3D World/M&S Olympics and maybe 20% of multiplats thru the year.

So as u can see GC was half the price, cheaper than comp, had more exclusives, bigger exclusives, and way better multiplat support.
