I feel like people have stopped discussing the Wii U's numbers, why is that? Is it all over, is the generation firmly carved up?

But even if we accept the order: PS4, XB1, Wii U, I still feel there are relevant questions. Do most people still think the Wii U can sell over 22 million and thereby challenge the GC? Looks like it's headed for 15-18 mil territory.


In my opinion the Wii U won't sell over 20 million. Sales have been absolutely dismal and whilst Smash Bros will boost hardware sales, I don't think it will elevate it to over 100,000 units per week(that is Wii U units, not copies of Smash Bros). Wii U fanboys talk about the how 2015 will be great for the Wii U because of the line up but really, other than a new Zelda/3d Mario/Mario Kart/maybe Star Fox, I don't see the baseline rising dramatically and certainly not for a long time. I don't think games like Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta II etc get masses rushing out to buy a console... Just my opinion...
