Wow so with one year more on the market the wii U achieve to be only 1.5mill behind the Ps4, amazing

The Sega Dreamcast also had a record-breaking launch

Really? ARe we comparing PS4 with the DC now? Thats what it came to?

The PS4 and DC are the exact oposite when it comes to market penetration, and the financial sittuation, brand awareness and 3rd party support are in a totally different category altogether. I would have understood if you draw a paralel between the DC and Vita/WiiU, but the PS4 is poised to be a success story, every sign point to that, while looking at sega in 3 month time you could tell, that something is not right.

 

OT: Nintendo could make the WiiU sell better, unfortunatly it needs tons of work right now: redesign, heavy software hitts, new IPs, massive improvement in its online segment and a pricecut. It could be turned around, if anything the PS3 prooved that a trainwreck can do great numbers, but Im not certain that Nintendo will be able to achieve it. Never the less, a 30 million userbase LT could be reached if they playe their cards right.

Just to be clear, I highly doubt that this will happen.

 

Edit: looking at the current poll results, I wonder why the majority is voting likely and yes? Are they voting purely on a hypothetical basis, or are they actually expecting for things to turn around?
