Joke thread? lol

That's the joke, it isn't a joke thread, some of the responses are down right scary.

Not just the people who think Nintendo are gonna outsell Sony either. My stomach is genuinely uneasy from how intensely Sony fans believe that another console won't dare to sell well, despite the Wii-U finally having two of the most valuable IPs in their books both being/having released this year. They get scary intense about it, feels like I insulted their grandmothers without meaning to. O_O

oh please. x1 is doing fine all things considered. but Wii U? its still on track to do GC numbers. Thats not selling well no matter how one wants to spin it

This gonna be the Wii-U's best year, for better or worse. Mario Kart and Smash Bros can sell atleast 2 million, and it actually has other games such as X, Bayonetta, and Hyrule Warriors. In the first part of the year it sold just shy of one million with near enough no games (I own one and didn't even bother with Donkey Kong because I had a sufficient back-log on the thing); in the second part of the year it is highly likely to double that since it actually has game. The surge in W101 sales figures on Amazon rather obviously states that people have just been waiting for something to break the camel's back before they bought a Wii-U. Mario Kart and Smash Bros are damn good camel breakers as well as being stand-alone system sellers.

4 million is not a ridiculous estimate for the Wii-U in the second half of this year. Its not gonna put it ahead of the PS4 which is likely to pull the same overall increase despite, game-wise, this being likely to be the weakest year its gonna have.
