... Did he just forget about Mario Kart in spring or something?

I like Pachter and all, but yeah, nah, 2014 is going to be an absolute monster of a year for the Wii U. Between that and Smash it's going to sell more than the PS4 and Xbox One for the full year easily.

I'm just...I... seriously how can people still make assumptions like that? You know you're on a sales site here so you can easily look at the data we have, right? How can you look at those numbers and still think that 2 games are suddenly going to completely turn the Wii U around?


Well... What does the PS4 or One even have for 2014 that can match two of the biggest hitters in the entire industry, Smash and Mario Kart (you know, the game that sold over 30 million last gen)? Infamous 3million LTD? Titanfall that's also on 360 and PC? Some crossgen multiplats also strewn across both next gen platforms and PC, with some even on Wii U?

Seriously, I'm just not seeing anything that can even come close to pushing units like Smash and Mario Kart. Couple that with my expectation that a new mainline Zelda and a new Metroid will be shown off this E3 as well as a drop to $200 for the holidays (not even counting the black friday deals), and yeah... I just don't see how either the PS4 or One can hope to match it.

The Wii U is going to absolutely explode in sales this year, I still can't believe people foolishly underestimate Nintendo time and time again only for them to dominate each and every time.

LOL you are so much in denial. COD, BAttlefiedl, FIFA, Madden, Ass creed, watch dogs, destiny , Dragon Ageand on and on, its big third party games that will keep ps4 and x1 selling, and exclusives asre icing on the cake. Please, the demand is there for PS4 for a reason. Third parties account for the majority of sales period.

 

This is what wii-u lacks. MArio didn't make much difference for wii-u, ps4 and x1 has too much brand power to not sell well. Same reason ps1 and ps2 dominated nintendo, is happening to wii-u. PS4 is also way too strong in europe and US compared to wii-u. You cnanot sustain saloes without all these third party developers on board. PS4 x1 has it wii-u doesn;t

 

If games and price only mattered, we would still be buiying old consoles.
