Wait wait wait you HONESTLY think that the sales of the Wii U will be EQUAL to that of the PS4?  How? Will the PS4 disapper from the market for a year or two or something? I mean it has already EASILY passed the Wii U and it is not even a year old yet. It is more expensive and has less games and is LITERALLY destroying the Wii U right now. So how in the world will the Wii U reach and tie with the PS4? I am not being funny I am seriously wondering here. 

(first.. you do understand that my estimate are based on how i think thishole gen will be.. not how fast each console get out of the  gate)

OK.. :)

The Ps4 will not disapper from the market.. but (i think) sales will slow (even) more down.. and WiiU will pass in weekly sales. (before this cristmas)

This is based on (for me) the fact that Nintendo offer so much more value and games for the "casual/family" than PS4 and One.

Why I think will take a big piece of the market we call "casuals" (the ones not yet entered this gen.. the +70% of all console/videogame players)

Better price.. better games.. new experinces.. More fun..

Oh yeah I knew you were talking about lifetime so we were clear there lol.

(1)  Okay so you are saying the PS4 will drop more than 50% of it's current sales? Because that is the only way for the Wii U to pass it in weekly sales. I don't see that happening..

(2)  .especially with TLOU of bundle coming, followed by the Driveclub Bundle and the White PS4 Destiny bundle all this year at that. So those will give a nice sales boost.

(3)  And Christmans will be a toss up but even then I still see both the XB1 and the PS4 selling more than the Wii U. Then the PS4 will seel MORE the next two years maybe 3 than it did this year as well.

And yeah Nin does offer more casual/family games than the PS4/XB1 no argument there.

(4)  And the only thing more popular than the PS4 at the moment as far as gaming goes are tablets and phones.

(5)  And the casuals are already here this gen and growing and the sales of the Wii U are still low.

(6)  As for you last point, the Wii U already has a better price and better games yet is CONSISTENTLY getting outsold EASY.

(7)  So that is not helping....more fun all depends on personal preference. And what new experiences does the Wii U offer?

(Don't get me wrong I am not down playing the Wii U because I think it has some very good games. But the reality is there is no logical way for it out of the blue explode in sales.

(8) It already has ALL the advantages that a system could have(first to the market, most/highest rated games and lowest price) to sell the most yet it is not.

I break it down so you can see what i mean.. :)

(1)  No.. that is not the only way.. Examble.. PS4 could go down 25% and WiiU 25% up..

(2)  Thoose games i'm sure will get some more "graphicfans" to enter the gen.. 

(3)  I do not think ps4/one will outsell WiiU this cristmas (and probely not 3DS either)

(4)   look at at 3DS (and that is a handheld even that can sell) there are still a lot of diffence and people know that

(4)   Ps4 is not that "popular" with the casual consumer.. But ok they know "playstation".. But i bet they also knows nintendo, wii and mario?

(5)  And the casuals are NOT here yet.. (only very few) They will start comming know (ps4/one will get some to)

(6)  But the people in the 8 gen until now.. almost laugh of cheap price (casuals do not)

(7)  The "No need for tv/ draw mario games directly/internet surfing/more gameplay possibilitys  second screen (new types of games and gameplay)

(8)  Yes like i said.. Ps4 are selling more at the moment?

I do think casual market had shinked..  But still more than 100 mill people are coming the next 4 years..

People who do not even know it yet.. people where games is just a thing they can play
