Wii U little less of 10,000. they will sell less of 9,000 first week of Augost, and more of 30,000 with Hyrule Warriors. (20,000 with Bayonetta 2)

PS4 will sell less of 5,000 for muuuuuuuuuuuch week... maybe even 3,000.


I'm not being funny, but I find it very unlikely that either of those titles can shift similar amounts of hardware to MK8. Hyrule Musou will boost hardware to 20-22k at the most, with Bayo2 a little less. Bear in mind that given previous performances of console Musou and Zelda games, it'll do well to sell 200k first week and 325k LTD - MK8 did much better and didn't create that big a boost. If you're looking for seriously big WiiU sales, you'll have to wait to christmas - 100k+ with this years lineup behind it seems like a lock.

"I'm not being funny, but I find it very unlikely that either of those titles can shift similar amounts of hardware to MK8"

Wii U sales with Pikmin:

first week: 22K

Second week: 14K

Third week: 12K


Perhaps, but console sales are always more sensitive to boost when they're younger and have fewer titles already released, hence why MK8 sold much more software but provided a similar boost. I'll take a bet if you want, no prizes, just out of interest to see who's more accurate - shall we say I win if Hyrule Warriors boosts WiiU to less than 25k, you win if does better (according to Media Create)? Up to you of course :)
