Most of the more poorly sold Nintendo consoles had their peek in the 2nd year. Like N64 in 1998 and GCN in 2003. But Wii had it's peak in 2009 (although i think vgchartz says 2008) Reggie even said in an interview a couple of years back that instead of Wii peaking in it's 2nd year, it peaked in it's 3rd year and it sold more in it's 4th year than year. (Just explaining that) It's 2014. I would say, this is it's peak year. But next year seems to have more games. It's already half way into 2014 and Wii U has only had 2 big games. And the second half has 4 or 5 big games. But 2015 already has many games that seem to be big. Like The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, Mario Maker, and more. I honsestly think now (thanks to E3) that Wii U will sell more in 2015 than 2014. Here are my 2014 and 2015 predictions. (and now I believe that Wii U will no doubt outsell GameCube, I made a thread a while back questioning if Wii U will outsell GC, and now that I believe Wii U will have a bigger 3rd year than 2nd year, it will probably pass it sooner than we think)
2014- 4.8 milliom
2015- 5.9 million
I know it seems extreme like most of my predictions are. But I believe Mario Kart 8 will carry Wii U for awhile. Then Hyrule Warriors will begin to help carry it, then Bayonetta 2 will give it a decent boost, then Smash Bros. and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker will propell it foward and give momentum to 2015. Then there's many games in 2015 that will help it even more. I'm nt saying these games will make Wii U break records and win the generation, but it will sure help it A lot and that's exactly what Wii U needs. Which year will Wii U sell more and what how much do you think it will sell in 2014 and 2015?
