to hit 10M this year wiiU will need to sell (10M - 5.479M =) 4.521M this year.   in 2013 wiiU sold 3.232M.   so to hit 10M this year it will need 39.882% increase.

in the 4 weeks following the holiday wiiU sold: 270,285(2014) and 242,344(2013) for a YoY growth of 11.529%

 

by the numbers availible, wiiU won't hit 10M until 2015.   we'll see how MK8 does.  it's a big game but there are even bigger gaps between releases this year.  smash will not save wiiU's holiday either, imo.  by the numbers 3D mario is a tad bigger of a franchise saleswise than smash.


It's going to be ruff for the Wii U because they're competing against PS3, XB360,PS4 and XB1. They might not do it this year in all honesty. I think the Wii U needs a price drop to get to 10 million by this year.

i don't feel like ps360 are competition for anything anymore.   they are dying pretty quick.  ps4/x1 will hurt it.   ...mostly out of the fact that they will garner so much more press attention that even if wiiU gets a good game or two it will be largely overlooked.  price cut won't help much imo.  wiiU needs a surprise hit game that gets everyone talking.  


I agree they need "hit" games more than anything.

And if they could do 199.99 and release a slim Wii U that is historically a sweet spot for home consoles. It could be the very reason PS3/XBOX360 sales do better at the moment (their200.00neighborhood pricetag) The PS3 outsells the Wii U almost weekly on average, and the XBOX360 has comparable sales to the Wii U usually.

Yeah I just flipped through this sites Dec weekly sales last year and the Wii U only did more sales for just 1 week in December and the PS3 took the other 3. The PS3 is definetly in competition to the Wii U and winning. I don't understand how you don't see this?

And the PS4 is competing with only the XB1, and that is going very well for the PS4. When the PS4 drops the "good" games look out because the divide will grow even more for both he Wii U and the XB1 imho.
