It'll pass 30M, I'm sure. Amiibo and Smash will make a huge impact. Plus, Wii U-2015 easily has the best line up. |
Would you mind filling me in? Besides Zelda, what other AAA titles are coming to Wii-U in 2015? This is just my opinion, but Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 already give PS4 the edge in 2015, and that's not even including The Order, and all the other potential titles releasing for the console in 2015.

Bloodborne is a niche game like Xenoblade Chronicles X will be. Plus, Wii U will have Splatoon, a multiplayer focused shooter made by one of their best teams, that can be big. Like you said, The Order won't be any big, just think of how much hype infamous SS had and how that turned out to sell (1.4M currently). And this kind of game that sells 1-2M the Wii U will be filled with next year: Yoshi's Woolly World, Xenoblade, Kirby, Mario Maker, Some amiibo games, etc.
And there's still Zelda.

The Order won't be as big as Uncharted 4, but it should easily outsell anything you listed. Splatoon, I really can't see as a big multi-million seller. I'm surprised anyone is hyping Yoshi. Xenoblade, I feel Nintendo announced waaaay too early, and now it seems to have lost a lot of hype. Amiibo seems to be trying to steal the Skylanders/ Disney Infinity audience which, unless it's somehow that awesome, it'll fail at that goal miserably.
I see what you're saying with Nintendo having a strong 2015 lineup, but it's probably nothing that will change the Wii-U's fate.

I dont think Amiibo is trying to steal from Skylanders/Disney Infinity, more likely trying to compliment them. The majority of sales for these games are still on Wii/360, Amiibo can potentially attract those gamers to upgrade to Wii U instead of PS4/One.
|
Maybe, but there were never a lot of those people to begin with, and they're few and far between now. But let's not forget Skylanders (and probably Disney Infinity) is making it's way to PS4/ One, and given the very positive media the PS4 has recieved, those people will probably ending just buying a PS4 with the new Skylanders if they actually decide to upgrade.

Not a lot? Last year Skylanders+Disney Infinity sold about 7.5 million and with smart toys on the rise that number could grow in the next few years.
Ya ur right PS4 might become the console of choice for those games but thats not the point, the point is that Nintendo isnt trying to beat those games with Amiibo but rather its an attempt to make Wii U the platform of choice for those games. The strategy may or may not work but I firmly believe they arent trying to steal sales from Activision/EA.
